About Solaris 10 release

Someone know what is the meaning of the last numbers/letter on the /etc/release?
Example: (I'm talking about the 07b)
 Solaris 10 10/08 s10s_u6wos_07b SPARC
Copyright 2008 Sun Microsystems, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
Use is subject to license terms.
Assembled 27 October 2008
Thanks in advance

Why would you care?
Thats the version info it gives for a Solaris 10 10/08 aka Solaris 10u6 installation.
You'll never see one with anything different there.
So what does it matter?

  • (V7.3)NEW FEATURES ABOUT OPTIMIZATION IN RELEASE 7.2 & 7.3

    제품 : ORACLE SERVER
    작성날짜 : 2003-02-24
    (V7.3)NEW FEATURES ABOUT OPTIMIZATION IN RELEASE 7.2 & 7.3
    ==========================================================
    PURPOSE
    Oracle RDBMS V7.2와 V7.3에서 Optimization에 관한 new feature를
    알아보기로 한다.
    Explanation
    다음과 같은 대표적인 기능 9가지가 있습니다.
    1> Direct Database Reads
    Parallel query 프로세스들은 필터링이나, 소팅, 조인과 같은 작업을
    수행하기 위해서는 아주 큰 테이블을 scanning해야 합니다. Direct Database
    Reads는 read efficiency와 성능의 향상을 위해 contiguous memory read를
    가능하게 해줍니다.
    또한, concurrent OLTP와 같은 작업을 수행시 따르는 경합을 없애기
    위해 버퍼 캐쉬를 bypass합니다.
    2> Direct Database Writes
    Parallel query 프로세스들은 intermediate sort runs, summarization
    (CREATE TABLE AS SELECT), index creation(CREATE INDEX)과 같은 작업의
    수행 결과를 디스크에 종종 기록해야 합니다.
    Direct Database Writes는 write efficiency와 성능의 향상을 위해
    direct contiguous memory로 하여금 contiguous disk writes를 가능하게
    해줍니다.
    또한, concurrent OLTP 작업과 DBWR 프로세스에 의한 경합을 없애기 위해
    버퍼 캐쉬를 bypass합니다.
    결론적으로, Direct Database Reads와 Writes는 concurrent OLTP와 DSS
    작업에 따르는 복잡한 부하를 조절하면서 Oracle 7 서버를 분리된 형태로,
    또한 최적의 튜닝을 가능하게 해줍니다.
    3> Asynchronous I/O
    Oracle 7은 이미 sorts, summarization, index creation, direct-path
    loading 에 대한 asynchronous write 기능을 제공하고 있습니다.
    Release 7.3부터는 보다 나은 성능의 향상을 위해 asynchronous
    read-ahead 기능을 제공하여 최대한 processing과 I/O의 병행성을 증가
    시켜 줍니다.
    4> Parallel Table Creation
    CREATE TABLE ... AS SELECT ...와 같은 구문을 제공하여 상세한 데이타를
    갖는 큰 테이블의 조회된 결과를 저장하기 위해 임시 테이블을 생성합니다.
    이 기능은 보통 intermediate operation의 결과를 저장하기 위해
    drill-down 분석을 할 때 사용됩니다.
    5> Support for the Star Query Optimization
    Oracle 7은 수행 속도의 향상을 위해 star 스키마가 존재하고, star query
    optimization을 invoke 합니다. Star query는 먼저 여러 개의 작은 테이블을
    join하고, 그런 후에, 그 결과를 하나의 큰 테이블로 join합니다.
    6> Intelligent Function Shipping
    Release 7.3부터 parallel query를 처리하는 coordinator 프로세스는
    non-shared memory machine(cluster 또는 MPP) 내의 노드들을 처리하기
    위해 디스크나 데이타들 간의 유사성에 대해 인식하게 될 것입니다.
    이 사실에 근거하여, coordinator는 data들이 machine의 shared
    interconnect를 통해 전달될 필요가 없다는 점에서, 특정 node-disk pair로
    수행되고 있는 프로세스들에게 parallel query operation을 지정할 수
    있습니다.
    이 기능은 연관된 cost나 overhead없이 'shared nothing' 소프트웨어
    아키텍쳐의 잇점을 제공하면서 효율성과 성능, 확장성을 개선할 수 있습니다.
    7> Histograms
    Release 7.3부터 Oracle optimizer는 테이블의 컬럼 내에 있는 데이타 값의
    분포에 관한 더 많은 정보를 이용할 수 있습니다. Value와 상대적 빈도수를
    나타내는 histogram은 optimizer에게 index의 상대적'selectivity'에 관한
    정보와 어떤 index를 사용해야할 지에 관한 더 좋은 아이디어를 제공해
    줄 것입니다.
    적절한 선택을 한다면, query의 수행시간을 몇 분, 심지어 몇 시간씩이나
    단축시킬 수가 있습니다.
    8> Parallel Hash Joins
    Release 7.3부터 Oracle 7은 join 처리시간의 단축을 위하여 hash join을
    제공합니다. 해슁 테크닉을 사용하면 join을 하기 위해 데이타를 소트하지
    않아도 되며, 기존에 존재하는 인덱스를 사용하지 않으면서 'on-the-fly'
    라는 개념을 제공합니다. 따라서, star schema 데이타베이스에 전형적으로
    적용되는 small-to-large 테이블 join의 수행 속도를 향상시킬 것입니다.
    9> Parallel UNION and UNION ALL
    Release 7.3부터 Oracle 7은 UNION과 UNION ALL과 같은 set operator를
    사용하여 완전히 parallel하게 query를 수행할 수 있습니다. 이러한
    operator를 사용하면, 큰 테이블들을 여러 개의 작은 테이블의 집합으로
    나누어 처리하기가 훨씬 쉬워질 것입니다.
    Example
    none
    Reference Documents
    none

    Sorry for the confusion!
    I'll clear it up right now - I'm currently running 10.7.2 - please disregard SL 10.6.8, that was from the past. I updated to 10.7.3, the new checkmark appeared. I noticed a few other stability issues in 10.7.3, so returned to 10.7.2. As for Mountain Lion - I saw a friend's Mac running ML (I assume he had a Dev account), and noticed the new checkmark as well.
    Here's the pictures to show the comparison:
    10.7.2 Checkmark
    10.7.3/ML Checkmark:
    See the difference? My question is, I don't want the new checkmark in 10.7.3. I think, personally, it's hideous and very iOS-like. Is there a way I can "hack" a resource file, or copy over a file from 10.7.2 into 10.7.3 to bring back the original checkmark used in 10.7.2 and all prior versions of OSX? I'm not sure, but it seems like some kind of font is used for the checkmark, but I'm not sure. I'm still a bit new to OSX.
    If anyone knows, or has any idea, that would be much appreciated! Again, I know it's a bit nitpicky

  • About oracle 10g release 2

    There are always some tpc-c test reports to preview the performance of new product half a year before it is available. But there is none about oracle 10g release 2 as normal. Why?

    yes, I saw that by googling... but I asked Oracle Support and they did not confirm it. I do not expect it before end of year.
    extract from tar with metalink:
    Hello Laurent Schneider
    We dont have the time frame Or release date for 10.2.0
    Details available only for next immediate patchset [for aix5] --> 10g R1 Patchset 2(10.1.0.4) which is April 04, 2005
    as you see, there is no date for 10.2. I am still waiting for 10.1.0.4...

  • Looking for papers about Solaris containers performance studies

    Hi everybody! I'm looking for papers about Solaris containers performance studies. Can you suggest me where to find them (if they exist...)? I tried to look at IEEE website and others similar but I didn't find anything. I'm preparing my master thesis on this topic with the aim to develop queueing network models and adopt them to the behavior of Solaris containers virtualization technology for capacity planning purposes. Every advice will be appreciated!
    Best Regards
    Davide

    How do you characterize the performance of a zone when there are so many variables in zone configuration?

  • Etude for Solaris 9 migration? What about Solaris 9?

    Hi all,
    Need your advice. I'm made to understand that Etude is there to help users to migrate Solaris 9 onto the modern and cheaper hardware platform, but how about Solaris 9? Please advice.

    Most definitely a software question,
    thus outside the scope of this hardware Forum for Sun-branded servers.
    (It seems to be a Solaris 8 to Solaris 10 migration tool.)

  • Upgrade from Solaris 11 Express to Solaris 11 Release (11/11); Guide MIA?

    Would there be an easy way to upgrade from Solaris 11 Express to Solaris 11 Release (11/11)? The FAQ for Solaris 11 Release has the following hopeful text:
    Can I upgrade to Oracle Solaris 11 from Oracle Solaris 11 Express or Oracle Solaris 11 Early Adopter?
    Yes. Customers can upgrade to Oracle Solaris 11 by using the package management tools. Refer to the Oracle Solaris 11
    Transition Guide (http://www.oracle.com/pls/topic/lookup?ctx=E23824&id=MF JAI) for more information
    But that link comes up with an error page 404, "topic not found".
    The one transition guide I can find is:
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E23824_01/html/E21799/index.html
    But that covers Solaris 10 jumpstart, not Solaris 11 Express or Early Adopter.
    The Solaris 11 documentation at:
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/server-storage/solaris11/documentation/index.html
    Also seems to mention only Solaris 10, not 11 Express or Early Adopter.
    I have already downloaded the full repo for Solaris 11 Release, and the live installer, but I'm hoping it's something as simple as pointing the ips manager to a new repository, or just loading the full repo I already have as a local source. I would also like to keep the dtrace and sun studio set up I have now in the Express version, without reinstalling them on a new release version on bare metal.
    If it keeps the features of the express version while ironing out a few kinks (gdm authentication bug, etc.), that would rock.
    Many Thanks,
    Gordon

    Alan, Thank You, that worked with no problem at all. 11 Express was already using the correct repository, and only required a pkg command update, then other updates.
    So here's what I'm guessing:
    1. The Oracle Solaris maintained repository for Express and Early Adopter are now the same as Release, but they do require an updated pkg executable and pkg update command.
    2. The second form of the command mentioned in the update guide:
    # pkg set-publisher -g http://pkg.oracle.com/solaris/release
    -G http://internal.co.com/solaris solaris
    is for using a local copy of the repository within our lan or vpn wan.
    3. Updates should be fairly regular now that Solaris 11 is in release version.
    I think the new hash (SHA 256) fried some of our old gdm settings for our users, so we're creating new user accounts, and migrating the older accounts. We don't have too many, so it's not a problem for us. But that brings up another point:
    4. The graphical user manager in Express is now gone, and user and group management are now done with command line interface.
    That's fine with me as well. I always use ssh to connect to the machine and then run the screen command for administration. The graphical user manager was always kludgy in Express, and I couldn't get it to work correctly anyway.
    This is great stuff so far. Well done.
    Gordon

    Try specifying expected results to obtain more detailed error messages.
    What I could do?
    Thanks in advance.

    It was some time ago but I recall getting a similar message when I did the update. If I remember correctly, I had some old OpenSolaris packages installed which I had to remove before I could get the Solaris 11 update to complete. I suspect the old OpenSolaris packages had requirements which were in conflict with the requirements of the newer Solaris 11 release and as a result pkg couldn't find a way to do the update while meeting all of the requirements imposed upon it.

  • Indepth information about Solaris Installation

    Hi,
    where can I find in-depth information about the installation
    process for Solaris (6, 7 and 8) on Sparc machines?
    for example I need to know:
    There seems to be a limit for the length of the parameter of the (OBP) boot command. How long can the parameter be?
    What actions does pfinstall while installing the system? What files are changed by pfinstall in /etc and /a/etc?
    Also I need some more information about the sysidtool programs.
    I alreay looked in the man pages, manuals and searched the sun websites (www.sun.com, docs.sun.com, etc.)
    TIA
    Bernd Schemmer

    The differences would be new features, documented in the Release Notes and README files.
    We don't document lists of, for example, bug fixes.
    The compilers are forward compatible in the sense that valid source code that worked with C++ 5.5 will continue to work with C++ 5.8, and binary files that were created by C++ 5.5 on Solaris 8 can be linked into a program that is built with C++ 5.8 on Solaris 9. (I say "valid source code" because we don't promise to duplicate old bugs.)
    Since you are moving to Solaris 9, I recommend using Sun Studio 12 (C++ 5.9) instead of Sun Studio 11 (C++ 5.8). Using Studio 11 is necessary only if you need to build on and generate code for Solaris 8.

  • Error attempting to apply a Solaris 10 release (upgrade)

    I am trying to apply a Solaris 10 upgrade release to my E450 server, but get the following error:
    "Could not reinitialize system state, please exit installer and try again"
    The current release on the server is 10 1/06 and I am trying to move this to 10 6/06.
    Anyone got any idea what it is complaining about, the process worked OK on my V480 servers!.

    For anyone that gets the same issue, I found the problem to be my vfstab file.
    I deleted all filesystems from it apart from the system areas / /usr /var and swap and the install process worked.
    Cannot see anything wrong with the entries that were in the vfstab file, so I guess it is some kind of bug in the upgrade program.
