  • Solaris 10 End of Life
    Solaris 10 end of life Continue Oracle Solaris 10 has had an amazing OS update, including ground features such as zones (Solaris containers), FSS, Services, Dynamic Tracking (against live production operating systems without impact), and logical domains. These features have been imitated in the market (imitation is the best form of flattery!) like all good things, they have to come to an end. Sun Microsystems was acquired by Oracle and eventually, the largest OS known to the industry, needs to be updated. Oracle has set a retirement date of January 2021. Oracle indicated that Solaris 10 systems would need to raise support costs. Oracle has never provided migratory tools to facilitate migration from Solaris 10 to Solaris 11, so migration to Solaris has been slow. In September 2019, Oracle decided that extended support for Solaris 10 without an additional financial penalty would be delayed until 2024! Well its March 1 is just a reminder that Oracle Solaris 10 is getting the end of life regarding support if you accept extended support from Oracle. Combined with the fact gdpR should take effect on May 25, 2018 you want to make sure that you are either upgraded to Solaris 11.3 or have taken extended support to obtain any patches for security issues.

  • Deploying Highly Available Zones with Solaris Cluster 3.2
    Deploying highly available zones with Solaris Cluster 3.2 http://prefetch.net/blog/index.php/2009/04/10/deploying-high... BLOG O’ MATTY HOME BLOG HOME ARTICLES CODE PRESENTATIONS Deploying highly available zones with Solaris Cluster 3.2 Recommended Books I discussed my first impressions of Solaris Cluster 3.2 a while back, and have been using it in various capacities ever since. One thing that I really like about Solaris Cluster is its ability to manage resources running in zones, and fail these resources over to other zones running on the same host, or a zone running on a secondary host. Additionally, Solaris Cluster allows you to migrate zones between nodes, which can be quite handy when resources are tied to a zone and can’t be managed as a scalable services. Configuring zone failover is a piece of cake, and I will describe how to do it in this blog post. To get failover working, you will first need to download and install Solaris Cluster 3.2. You can grab the binaries from sun.com, and you can install them using the installer script that comes in the zip file: $ unzip suncluster_3_2u2-ga-solaris-x86.zip $ cd Solaris_x86 $ ./installer Once you run through the installer, the binaries should be placed in /usr/cluster, and you should be ready to configure the cluster. Prior to doing so, you should add something similar to the following to /etc/profile to make life easier for cluster administrators: PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/sfw/bin:/usr/cluster/bin export PATH TERM=vt100 export TERM Also, if you selected the disabled remote services option during the Solaris install, you should reconfigure the rpc/bind service to allow connections from other cluster members (Solaris Cluster uses RPC extensively for cluster communications).
