Solaris 11 build environments

Hi,
have been doing some reading on the new Oracle "AI" method.

We only have Solaris 9 & 10 at present, with no space for Solaris 11.
Can someone please tell me if the following is possible?:

Run 5.11 as a Branded Zone in 5.10

or

Run 5.11 as an LDOM with 5.10 as control/io/service domain

this would only be temporary until a real environment becomes available.

Thanks!

zfs disks

Hi Gurus;

I have a confusion w/ ZFS. Actually I had a mirrored volume but has been
detached after a reboot. Now I have 2 unmirrored disks. I first thought to
mirror them but when I checked with iostat I found there is some data in
disks:

 #: zpool status
  pool: eniq_sp_1
 state: ONLINE
 scrub: resilver completed after 0h45m with 0 errors on Wed Feb  1 19:00:39
2012

summary: S-Bus keyboard interface

Sadly, from the answers I got, there is no such beast, although there were
graphics interfaces that had a similar looking plug to be used for the
'buttons and dials' option, which is likely the card I was hearkening to.

Remedy: solder pins back together or buy another mainboard.

Thanks to all who replied.

Q: virtualization effort on Solaris 10

Greetings,

Just curious if anyone out there has been successful consolidating with
zones with greater than 30 systems on a M4000 or M5000.

Oracle tells us it's no problem and they see it all the time but I have
not ran across anyone doing it in production.

I realize what they say and what it is are two different things but I
just wanted to see what and if others have had success/failures with it.

Any response is appreciated, thanks.

Jeff

SUMMARY: virtualization effort on Solaris 10

Got great responses from several people, more than I can list.. thank
you!

The wisdom I took away was:

Patching and downtime was mentioned in almost every reply - rightly so -
Spend time planning for it.

Have as much RAM as you can afford.

Plan for having the server up for a long time since getting downtime
will be a nightmare with lots of zones.

It is certainly possible and several are hosting 30+ zones on M-series.

If zones are OracleDB, RAM will be eaten up very quickly and you'll get
a smaller consolidation ratio.

ZFS will eat up RAM but doing zones without it is not as easy as with
ZFS. -I personally love ZFS.

Sometimes adding LUNS can be tricky and may require downtime for global
zone.

Use projects for resource control.

Seems like a good mix of sparse and full root zones out there.

Clustering it will just add to the maintenance and add a lot more
management.

Free download from SunFreeware.com

Hello:
Is downloading from sunfreeware.com still free ? Try to get Solaris 9 gcc 3.4.6, it redirects me to
UNIXPackages.com. Then it asks for sign up with different levels of subscription levels.
Thanks.

SUMMARy: Free download from SunFreeware.com

Hi:
Here is response from sunfreeware.com:

A few hundred (including gcc and related programs) Solaris 10 packages and the Companion CD are currently
free.  All other levels are moving over to unixpackages.com.

Our funding and costs have changed so we are now offering a very inexpensive subscription service for
Solaris 2.5-9 and 11.

Steve Christensen

Thanks.

Solaris Containers

Hello,

Can someone point me in the right direction for some good Solaris Containers
how to guides?

I have some old Solaris8 servers I want to retire & creating multiple
containers seem like a good solution.

Cheers

Nick
