Richard For Donna, Frankie and Dominick. All my love, always... .......................................... Jim ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS It ‘s hard to thank all people that helped us with this book. As a minimum, we owe: • Thanks to Brian Wong, Adrian Cockcroft, Paul Strong, Lisa Musgrave and Fraser Gardiner for all your help and advise for the structure and content of this book. • Thanks to Tony Shoumack, Phil Harman, Jim Moore, Robert Miller, Martin Braid, Robert Lane, Bert Beals, Magnus Bergman, Calum Mackay, Allan Packer, Magnus Bergman, Chris Larson, Bill Walker, Keith Bierman, Dan Mick and Raghunath Shenbagam for helping to review the material. • A very special thanks to David Collier-Brown, Norm Shulman, Dominic Kay, Jarod Jenson, Bob Sneed, and Evert Hoogendoorn for painstaking page by page reviews of the whole book. • Our thanks to the engineers in the Solaris business unit - Jim Litchfield, Michael Shapiro, Jeff Bonwick, Wolfgang Thaler, Bryan Cantrill, Roger Faulker, Andy Tucker, Casper Dik, Tim Marsland, Andy Rudoff, Greg Onufer, Rob Gingell, Devang Shah, Deepankar Das, Dan Price and Kit Chow for their advise and guidance. We’re quite sure there are others, and we apolo- gize up front to those whose names we have missed. • Thank you to the systems engineers and technical support staff at Sun for the corrections and suggestions along the way. • Thanks to Lou Marchant - for the endless search for engine pictures, and Dwayne Schumate at Lotus Cars USA for coordinating permission to use the images of the Lotus V8 engine. • Thanks to the folks at Prentice Hall - Greg Doench for his patience (we did slip this thing a few times) and support. vii viii Acknowledgements • Thanks to our enduring copy editor, Mary Lou Nohr for her top notch edito- rial work and style suggestions. Without your help, this book wouldn’t be what it is today. From Jim: I wish to personally acknowledge Jeff Bonwick and Andy Tucker of Solaris ker- nel engineering. They demonstrated great patience in clarifying things that were complex to me but second nature to them. They answered innumerous emails, which contributed significantly to the accuracy of the text, as well as insuring all the key points were made. They also provided some wonderful explanations in var- ious areas of the source code, which definitely helped. Roger Faulkner and Jim Litchfield, also of Solaris kernel engineering, deserve and additional note of thanks for their efforts and time. Thanks to Nobel Shelby and Casey Palowitch for reviewing sections of the manuscript and providing insightful feedback and suggestions. I owe a debt of gratitude to Hal Stern that goes way beyond his support for this work. His mentoring, guidance and friendship over the years have had a profound impact on my development at Sun. Last, but certainly not least, comes the family acknowledgment. This may appear cliche’, as every technical book I’ve ever seen recognizes the writers family in the acknowledgements section. Well, there’s a very good reason for that. There are only 24 hours in a day and 7 days in a week. That doesn’t change just because you decide to write a book, nor do the other things that demand your time, like your job, your house, your lawn, etc., all of a sudden become less demanding. So the ones that end up getting the short end of the stick is invariably your family. Thus, my deepest gratitude goes to my wife Donna, and my sons, Frankie and Dominick. Without their love, sacrifice and support, I would not have been able to complete this work. Thanks guys, I’m back now (of course, there is that pesky lit- tle matter of the updated version for Solaris 8...). Jim Mauro [email protected] Green Brook, New Jersey June, 2000 Acknowledgements ix From Richard: I would like to thank Adrian Cockcroft and Brian Wong for first giving me the opportunity to join their engineering group in 1995, working from my remote out- post in Australia. Their leadership and guidance has meant a lot to me during my career at Sun. Thank you to our friends, visitors and family who seemingly understood for 2 years when I abstained from many invites to dinners, day trips and fun events cit- ing “when the books done...”. Yes - it is done now! And yes, a special thank you to my wife Traci, who provided a seemingly end- less amount of encouragement and personal sacrifice along the way. This project would have been forever unfinished without her unquestionable co-operation and support. Richard McDougall [email protected] Cupertino, California June, 2000 x Acknowledgements PREFACE The internals of the UNIX kernel is fairly well documented, most notably by Good- heart and Cox [10], Bach [1], McKusick et al. [19], and Vahalia [39]. These texts have become a common source of reference information for those who want to bet- ter understand the internals of UNIX. However little has been written about the specifics of the Solaris kernel. The paucity of Solaris specific information led us to create our own reference material. As we published information through white papers, magazine columns, and tutorials, the number of folks expressing interest motivated us to produce a complete work that discussed Solaris exclusively. About This Book This book is about the internals of Sun’s Solaris Operating Environment. The rapid growth of Solaris has created a large number of users, software developers, systems administrators, performance analysts, and other members of the techni- cal community, all of whom require in-depth knowledge about the environment in which they work. Since the focus of this book is the internals of the Solaris kernel, the book pro- vides a great deal of information on the architecture of the kernel and the major data structures and algorithms implemented in the operating system. However, rather than approach the subject matter from a purely academic point of view, we wrote the book with an eye on the practical application of the information con- xi xii Preface tained herein. Thus, we have emphasized the methods and tools that can be used on a Solaris system to extract information that otherwise is not easily accessible with the standard bundled commands and utilities. We want to illustrate how you can apply this knowledge in a meaningful way, as your job or interest dictates. To maximize the usefulness of the text, we included specific information on Solaris versions 2.5.1, 2.6, and Solaris 7. We cover the major Solaris subsystems, including memory management, process management, threads, files, and file sys- tems. We do not cover details of low-level I/O, device drivers, STREAMS, and net- working. For reference material on these topics, see “Writing Device Drivers” [28], the “STREAMS Programming Guide” [29], and “UNIX Network Programming” [32]. The material included in this book is not necessarily presented at an introduc- tory level, although whenever possible we begin discussing a topic with some con- ceptual background information. We assume that you have some familiarity with operating systems concepts and have used a Unix-based operating system. Some knowledge of the C programming language is useful but not required. Because of the variety of hardware platforms on which Solaris runs, it is not practical to discuss the low-level details of all the different processors and architec- tures, so our hardware focus, when detail is required, is admittedly UltraS- PARC-centric. This approach makes the most sense since it represents the current technology and addresses the largest installed base. In general, the concepts put forth when detail is required apply to other processors and platforms supported. The differences are in the specific implementation details, such as per-processor hardware registers. Throughout the book we refer to specific kernel functions by name as we describe the flow of various code segments. These routines are internal to the oper- ating system and should not be construed as, or confused with, the public inter- faces that ship as part of the Solaris product line—the systems calls and library interfaces. The functions referenced throughout the text, unless explicitly noted, are private to the kernel and not callable or in any way usable by application pro- grams. Intended Audience We hope that this book will serve as a useful reference for a variety of technical staff members working with the Solaris Operating Environment.

  • 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.

  • Solaris Zones: Operating System Support for Consolidating Commercial Workloads Daniel Price and Andrew Tucker – Sun Microsystems, Inc
    Solaris Zones: Operating System Support for Consolidating Commercial Workloads Daniel Price and Andrew Tucker – Sun Microsystems, Inc. ABSTRACT Server consolidation, which allows multiple workloads to run on the same system, has become increasingly important as a way to improve the utilization of computing resources and reduce costs. Consolidation is common in mainframe environments, where technology to support running multiple workloads and even multiple operating systems on the same hardware has been evolving since the late 1960’s. This technology is now becoming an important differentiator in the UNIX and Linux server market as well, both at the low end (virtual web hosting) and high end (traditional data center server consolidation). This paper introduces Solaris Zones (zones), a fully realized solution for server consolidation projects in a commercial UNIX operating system. By creating virtualized application execution environments within a single instance of the operating system, the facility strikes a unique balance between competing requirements. On the one hand, a system with multiple workloads needs to run those workloads in isolation, to ensure that applications can neither observe data from other applications nor affect their operation. It must also prevent applications from over-consuming system resources. On the other hand, the system as a whole has to be flexible, manageable, and observable, in order to reduce administrative costs and increase efficiency. By focusing on the support of multiple application environments rather than multiple operating system instances, zones meets isolation requirements without sacrificing manageability. Introduction mutually incompatible when run on the same server. In one real-world example, two poorly written appli- Within many IT organizations, driving up system utilization (and saving money in the process) has cations at a customer site both wanted to bind a net- become a priority.
