I first used SunOS back in the early 1900s when I worked for Lotus Development Corporation porting Lotus 123 to Unix and, since then, have always liked the operating system. In fact, I am still a Solaris 10 SCSA (Solaris Certified System Administrator). Oracle Solaris 11, released on November 11th 2011, is the first major release of the Solaris operating system since Oracle purchased Sun Microsystems. Note that Oracle Solaris 11 (SunOS 5.11) is not the same as Oracle Solaris 11 Express which was released in November 2010; Oracle Solaris 11 Express was a preview release of Oracle Solaris 11.The major highlights of Oracle Solaris 11 are:.
64-bit kernel only. No more 32-bit kernel support. New packaging system called Image Packaging System (IPS). BSD commands are depreciated. No more /usr/usc by default. The GNU toolchain and utilities are installed by default. Includes both GCC 3.4.3 and 4.5.3.
ZFS root by default. Improved text mode installer. The default shell is Bash.

By: Product Management Senior Manager Early this year I wrote the article which describes the ability to import Solaris 10 systems into a 'Solaris 10 branded zone' under Oracle Solaris 11. I did this using Solaris 11 Express, and the capability remains in Solaris 11 with only slight changes. This important tool lets you painlessly inhaling a Solaris Container from Solaris 10 or entire Solaris 10 systems ('the global zone') into virtualized environments on a Solaris 11 OS. Just recently, Oracle provided Oracle VM Templates for Oracle Solaris 10 Zones to let you create Solaris 10 branded zones for Solaris 11 even if you don't currently have access to install media or a running Solaris 10 system. To use this, just download the Oracle VM Template for Oracle Solaris Zone 10 from OTN. This page contains images of Oracle Solaris 10 8/11 (the recent update to Solaris 10) in SPARC and x86 formats suitable for creating branded zones.
The same page also has a VirtualBox image you can download for a complete Solaris 10 install in a guest virtual machine you can run on any host OS that supports VirtualBox. Both sets of downloads provide a quick - and extremely easy - way to set up a virtual Solaris 10 environment. In the case of the Oracle VM Templates, they illustrate several advanced features of Solaris 11. To start, just go to the above link, download the template for the hardware platform (SPARC or x86) you want, and download the README file also linked from that page.
Install prerequisites The README file tells you to install the prerequisite Solaris 11 package that implements the Solaris 10 brand. Then you can install instances of zones with that brand. # pkg install pkg:/system/zones/brand/brand-solaris10 Packages to install: 1 Create boot environment: No Create backup boot environment: Yes DOWNLOAD PKGS FILES XFER (MB) Completed 1/1 44/44 0.4/0.4 PHASE ACTIONS Install Phase 74/74 PHASE ITEMS Package State Update Phase 1/1 Image State Update Phase 2/2 That took only a few minutes, and didn't require a reboot. Install the Solaris 10 zone Now it's time to run the downloaded template file. First make it executable via the chmod command, of course. I found that (unlike stated in the README) there was no need to rename the downloaded file to remove the.bin. When you run it you provide several parameters to describe the zone configuration:.a IP address - the IP address and optional netmask for the zone.
This is the only mandatory parameter.z zonename - the name of the zone you would like to create.i interface - the package will create an exclusive-IP zone using a virtual NIC (vnic) based on this physical interface. In my case, I have a NIC called rge0.p PATH - specifies the path in which you want the zoneroot to be placed. In my case, I have a ZFS dataset mounted at /zones, and this will create a zoneroot at /zones/s10u10.
Kicking it off, you will see a copyright message, and then messages showing progress building the zone, which only takes a few minutes. #./solaris-10u10-x86.bin -p /zones -a 192.168.1.100 -i rge0 -z s10u10. Checking disk-space for extraction Ok Extracting in /export/home/CDimages/s10zone/bootimage.ihaqvh. 100% Checking data integrity Ok Checking platform compatibility The host and the image do not have the same Solaris release: host Solaris release: 5.11 image Solaris release: 5.10 Will create a Solaris 10 branded zone. Warning: could not find a defaultrouter Zone won't have any defaultrouter configured IMAGE:./solaris-10u10-x86.bin ZONE: s10u10 ZONEPATH: /zones/s10u10 INTERFACE: rge0 VNIC: vnicZBI13379 MAC ADDR: 2:8:20:5c:1a:cc IP ADDR: 192.168.1.100 NETMASK: 255.255.255.0 DEFROUTER: NONE TIMEZONE: US/Arizona Checking disk-space for installation Ok Installing in /zones/s10u10. 100% Using a static exclusive-IP Attaching s10u10 Booting s10u10 Waiting for boot to complete booting. Zone s10u10 booted The zone's root password has been set using the root password of the local host.
You can change the zone's root password to further harden the security of the zone: being root, log into the zone from the local host with the command 'zlogin s10u10'. Once logged in, change the root password with the command 'passwd'. The nifty part in my opinion (besides being so easy), is that the zone was created as an exclusive-IP zone on a virtual NIC. This network configuration lets you enforce traffic isolation from other zones, enforce network Quality of Service, and even let the zone set its own characteristics like IP address and packet size. Independence of the zone's network characteristics from the global zone is one of the enhancements in Solaris 10 that make it easier to consolidate zones while preserving their autonomy, yet provide control in a consolidated environment. Let's see what the virtual network environment looks like by issuing commands from the Solaris 11 global zone.
First I'll use Old School ifconfig, and then I'll use the new ipadm and dladm commands. Your question is about licensing Solaris virtual machines, not virtualized Solaris environments in zones. My understanding is that on VMware or 3rd party (non-Oracle) hardware you have to license Solaris for as many CPU cores as there are on the physical computer systems.
VMware is not viewed as a 'hard partitioning' technology for license purposes. There is no charge for virtual CPUs. This blog article is not about VMware environments: it's about Solaris zones (also called Solaris Containers, depending on context), which is a built-in virtualization technology in Solaris 10 and Solaris 11. Zones let you have very large numbers of virtualized Solaris environments (the zones) on a single Solaris instance. There is no license fee for using as many zones as you want, and there is negligible performance overhead, unlike traditional hypervisors like VMware, which can have substantial overhead in addition to their license costs. For Oracle-provided hypervisors, look into Oracle VM Server for SPARC and x86, which provides extremely efficient implementation of virtual machines.
