Accurate answer for Solaris 9 - Solaris 10 features

Hi Guys,
We are about to make decision migrating from solaris 9 to solaris 10 but I could not find an accurate answer what differences exist between these versions. I know, there are features mentioned in solaris 10 web page but it is not enough. In an conversation with Chris Ratcliffe, he mentioned there are new 600 features added to Solaris 10. So what are they? I can't understand Why there isn't an informative whitepaper or that kind of article for differences between Solaris 9 - 10 from Sun.
If you can please point out something different then Solaris 10 New Features page, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks.

Very good question. I will try to answer.
1. Performance : Any application which run on Solaris 9 if you installed on Solaris 10 , you will get 30 % performace gain.
2. You also get following benefit.
a. Zfs -- this file system eliminates need of volume manager and easy to use it.
b. Zone: You can create virtual server inside your server. You reboot the that server. Some limitation exists but nice feature.
c. Dtrace : You can find point of problem for your application the help of dtrace. Some expertise is needed to use this.
d. Firewall : Firewall included with this OS.
e. SMF : This feasure keeps centralised information about all services. ( Complicated for new user. ) This are few one.
3. Some new system bundeled with Solaris 10 and they do not support Solaris 9. ( T1000 and T2000 )
I am using solaris 10 since last 1 year and are happy about it. But upgradation need to planned carefully. Go for only ( and only ) June 2006 release.
Best Luck.

Need Help with Simultaion for a Solar cell simulation

i want to vary the load and the input power to see how the output voltage varys, as a function of input voltage. The purpose for this is to simulate later
a shunt resistor which regulates the cell voltage to a constant value?
has anyone a suggestion how to do this?

64 Bit XML libraries for Sun Solaris

Will the libxml8.a and libxmlc8.a libraries be included in the 8.1.7 (64) release for Sun Solaris?

Yes, all releases of Oracle 8.1.7 and Oracle 9i will contain the XDK (although you won't need the libxmlc8.a).

If you are seldom in a Wi-Fi Network Area, then you can turn off Wi-Fi until you knowingly are in such a Network Area. You can go through your Applications where you don't really need to know the instant an Update is available and turn off the push update notifications. You can turn down the screen brightness. You can set the sleep cycle to 1-min. You could set your email to check for new messages every 30-min. rather than less than 1 min. Just some of many steps available.

So that we may better diagnose DOWNLOAD problems, please provide the following information.
- Server name ORACLE 9I DATABASE
- Filename
- Date/Time 5 JULY 2K2
- Browser + Version IE 6
- O/S + Version SUN SOLARIS
- Error Msg

I didn't see anything on the Sun site, but the disk arrived with my Solaris media. I have installed it on one machine (you need to create the "oracle" user id, the "dba" group, and you must set the tunable parameters for shared memory to install the software and example database.)
I tried to install a second machine and the Oracle installer terminates half way through without errors. I'm still working that issue.

Oracle 11g R2 for Sun Solaris???

When will be release the version for Sun Solaris?
Is there any way to check the release date for each Oracle version? (e.g. 10.2, 11.1, etc)
Thanks,
Shum

Well if you check at this link http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/index.html
You will see that 11.1.07 is for Windows ServerActually, you might note that it is for Windows Server *2008*. OS qualifiers are fairly important. Sentences may sort of trail off to noth
What you download from the freely available site,and what is the current version with patches applied is often a different thing.
The freely available 'for learning and prototyping' downloads (from the site you mention) are NOT updated to a new patch level. (If necessary, they may be revised to fix bugs that stop them for being installed, but they keep the same point level.)
If a version of the OS is released after the s/w has been made available, and there are problems installing or using that combination, Oracle MAY decide to fix, apply patch set and and make available the s/w for that specific OS.
And if you are waiting for 11.2 because you don't have Support and can't get 11.1.0.7 patch, then I express concern for your management's approach. Missing CPUs and other patches is not a good idea for production.

SQLPlus and SQLLoader needed for Sparc Solaris 2.6

Hello,
for a test i need the two Oracle utilities SQLPlus and SQLLoader
for Sparc Solaris 2.6.
Is there a test version available ???
Thanks for information.
Olaf.

hai Alan,
Let me specific on the problem.
I developed a fail-over software for Linux servers(need 2 servers of same configuration). In this servers ,there are two modes , Active and passive mode. At a time one can be active,and other passive. Clients can communicate the with the servers through a common alias ip address. But the actual ip address of servers can be different.Normally Active server would be having the alias ip.
When switching take place from active to passive mode,server will be assigned with its actual ip address. When switching takes place other passive server becomes active and its get common alias ip address.?
This is the actual scenario . And fake is used in Linux to refresh the arp table of immediate switching device.
But i came to know that solaris os would do it normally when it switches .?
Is this possible with solaris.?

OEM 12c for Sun Solaris?

Hello,
I received this question from a customer:
"It appears to me that [12c] agents are available for all the platforms we need (HP-UX Itanium, Sun Solaris, and AIX 5/6). However, the OMS/repository looks like it’s only released for Linux.
So, questions:
· Am I reading that correctly?
· If I am, do you know when we could expect to have the OMS/repository released for Sun Solaris?
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/oem/grid-control/downloads/index.html"
Can anyone tell me if 12c is FULLY available for Sun Solaris?
Thanks!
--J.

From what I can see on the Certifications page in Oracle Support, agents and OMS are only available for Linux for 12c. I don't know where your customer got the information regarding the other OS support.
Go to support.oracle.com and click on the Certifications tab, then select "Enterprise Manager Base Platform - Agent" in the "Product" drop-down, 12.1.0.1.0 in the "Release" drop-down, leave the platform as "Any" and click "Search". The only 2 operating systems shown are Linux x86 and Linux x86-64.

OEM for sun solaris

Hello,
I'm working on Database studio (Oracle Enterprise Manager) under window environemt, but I'm wondering if there is GUI OEM for sun solaris like this in windows ?and if there is one what's the name of the file, or how can i install it ?
Thanks.

EM is available for Sun Solaris too. If you are using Oracle Server v8.1.6 and earlier, EM has to be installed separately in a different Oracle Home. however, with effect from v 8.1.7, installation of the Oracle Server also installs the base EM.
Some commands for starting on Solaris.
1. oemapp console for starting the console
2. oemapp dbastudio for starting the dbastudio
3. oemctrl start oms for starting the Management Server
4. lsnrctl start for the listener
5. lsnrctl dbsnmp_start for the Agent

9iAS for Sun Solaris Intel?

Will 9iAS be available for Sun Solaris Intel?
Thanks,
Shane

Shane,
Due to bandwidth/space limitations, there are no plans at this time to put the Intel Solaris version of 9iAS onto OTN.
That said, the Intel Solaris version of 9i AS will be available through the following channels:
1) Ordering directly from the oracle store at store.oracle.com, or via your local Oracle representative.
2) If you have a previous version of iAS for intel solaris (with a support contract), you could request an upgrade via Oracle Worldwide support, and they will send you the software.
Best Regards,
Harry
