Solaris 10 vs Solaris Express

Hi,
I'm a newbie here. My basic question follows: what is the difference between Solaris and Open Solaris(Solaris Express)? Which of them would you suggest for building a java development environment?
Thx.
gigo

Actually there are actually 3 versions. Solaris 10, Solaris express and open solaris.
Solaris 10 is the production version.
Solaris express is snapshots of the solaris 11 development work.
Theres also solaris express developer environment (SXDE) which is solaris express with the developer tools preinstalled.
Open solaris is the community project where the real development takes place.
As a development environment I would probably recommend going with SXDE but if your apps are going to be deployed in production on solaris 10 boxes, you probably need a solaris 10 box for deployment testing..

  • Solaris 9, Solaris Management Console ISSUE

    Solaris 9, Solaris Management Console ISSUE
    I have Solaris 9 installed and I am unable to use the Solaris Management console.
    I have managed to start it:
    /etc/init.d/init.wbem start
    /etc/init.d/init.wbem status -> shows it's running
    But if I try browser with the link http:// host:898, I have got the following error:
    "A web version of the Solaris Management Console is not available at this time."
    any Idea why?

    Are you running Trusted Extensions? What patch cluster are you on? What toolbox are you opening?

    Oracle Instant Client was a "feature" introduced with Oracle 10g. There is no 9i version.
    Code that links with Oracle 9i libraries should be able to be linked with Instant Client 10gR2.
    The resulting application will be able to connect to databases from Oracle 8.1 onwards.

  • Help for solar battery, solar panel, solar charger!

    Hi to all,
    a solar battery = solar charger=solar panel ?? Today, my friend argue with me about the difference between *solar battery*, *solar panel* and *solar charger*... Is there anybody who can tell me the difference between them?? And does anyone have any experience with an easy to use solar charger than can be used to charge a laptop battery? I'm trying to help a friend out and i've got no experience with these.
    I really appreciate, thanks!

    No experience here.....but I did a little Googling and came up with this...

  • Solaris 8 Megaraid Express 200 ;-(

    I was having trouble installing Solaris for intel on my megaraid 466 (Express 200) raid controller. I installed an adaptec 2940U2W that I borrowed from another machine, and Solaris installed without a hitch. I didn't even have to download special drivers, solaris came with 'em! If you're looking for a good SCSI card to use with Solaris, choose adaptec. I have also heard that Solaris 8 works great with the newer adaptec 29160 cards too!

    There shouldn't be a problem as long as the system has the required
    memory and hard disk space. There may be some issues with driver
    support for older peripherals. Solaris 8 has limited support for ISA cards
    such as Network Interface Cards (NIC).
    I would suggest taking a look at the Hardware Compatibility List (HCL)
    on www.access1.sun.com to make sure the peripherals in the system'
    are supported.
    Another option would be try and get hold of an older version of Solaris,
    such as Solaris 7.

  • Solaris 10/Solaris Express on Asus Z80K

    Hi,
    I am trying to install Solaris on an Asus Z80K (AMD64, Nvidia nforce2 chipset). The booting starts but fails quickly with this message:
    SumOS Secondary Boot Version 4.0.2
    prom_panic: kmem_free block already free
    Entering boot debugger:
    [139689]:
    The posted message comes from the solaris express boot CD. The solaris 10 boot CD also prints the same message (the debug address might have been different thougth)
    Any ideas as to what could be wrong ?

    Me too! I'm actually installing Solaris 10 x86 from a Jumpstart server (ultra 10) onto v20z servers. I'm getting and IP address from the Jumpstart server and snoop says it's looking for bootevn.rc which I can't find under /tftpboot. I have found an article that states you must have rpld running and it's not. This could be my issue.

    I have a problem with installing oracle on Solaris 11. When I ran installation program I got a message like this: "Wrong version of OS. The version must be 10".
    Then program finished its work.
    Is it possible to install Oracle 10.2.0.2 (or another version) on Solaris 11?

    Solaris 11 is not certified with 10g R2, that's why you getting error.

  • Is there a way to undelete files in solaris, either solaris 8 or solaris 10

    Hi Everyone,
    Want to check with you whether any option available to undelete a file in solaris8 or solaris10. Please let me know.
    Thanks everyone,
    Lakshmana Immidi.

    Maybe, but mostly no. If you do a Google search you will see many ways to undelete files, but all are based on a number of assumptions:
    1. You are not using ZFS. Most of these methods work with UFS or ext2/ext3.
    2. You stop immediately upon accidentally deleting the file. A multiuser system is continually generating files, whether from users or from temporary processes that are running all the time. Any disk blocks your original file was on may get over-written very quickly by new files. Inodes of the files may get re-used, and inodes don't contain the name of the file they reference.
    If using ZFS on Solaris 10, using snapshots is the best way to preserve user files. You can roll back to a previous snapshot, or even just go to the directory the snapshot is stored in and copy the file over. You can set up a script to take snapshots at various times to ensure you always have a fairly recent copy. You can also take incremental snapshots so you don't have to copy tons of data with each snapshot.

  • LDAP over SSL for Solaris 9 / Solaris 10

    I have successfully configured Solaris-10 clients to use Windows 2003 R2 Active Directory for LDAP authentication over SSL. However, my production environment is still running on Solaris-9. I am able to make Kerberos and ldapsearch working on Solaris-9, but I am still NOT able to use PuTTY to make authentication with AD.
    I reviewed all my steps that I configured on Solaris-10, but somewhat I could not make it work on Solaris-9. If anybody sucessfully deployed on Solaris-9, please advices! Any helps greatly appreciated.

    I am thinking about pam.conf file or ldapclient's configuration file, any suggestion?

    I have now sat down and looked at your suggestion and I am pretty certain we can't implement it ... :( I was hoping it was just going to be configuration files that were copied (maybe a naive hope, but there you go!) This system is going to be deployed as a live service for a government agency so I do not think we can, in all good conscience, have binaries from two different OS releases residing on the same server as it will make the system nigh-on non-patchable.
    Let's hope Sun have somethig constructive to say about our issue which, I am slowly beginning to think, is related to the password.
    If I su to the test AD user we have whilst logged in as a root user (which does not, of course, prompt for a password) it all works nicely - home directory, shell, the id command gives all that is expected of uid and gid. Now, should I be in a as a non-root user and try the same I get prompted for a password and it all fails - despite me providing what should be the correct password.
    If I do a getent for the user the returned data has a blank for the password field (as opposed to the usual x).
    I think that somewhere, somehow, in the transmission of data that the password is getting a level of encryption that the AD is not setup to unravel. The packets are all encrypted through ldap (we are using tls simple) but what of the password within the packet? Does anything encrypt that first, and if so, does AD know how to decrypt it?

  • Solaris 8 solaris 7 system file includes

    Hello,
    I would like to get the header files from /usr/include/sys/*.h of a solaris 7 or previous OS, and copied them on a solaris 8. (on ultra sparc).
    Where can I find those headers?
    What are the risks to do this?
    Thank all in advance.

    thanks,
    i need to ask some questions:
    1- In system copy make differente if its CRM 3.0 or 4.0 or NW2004s or something?
    like in master dvd 6.40 i dont find anything related of CRM3.0, just CRM 4.0.
    2- what about database password? how can I reset it?
    3- this documents its in Unix, the parameter are same for windows?
    thank you very much for your help

  • 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.

  • Solaris Express , Developer Edition as a linux alternative

    Hi Folks,
    there is no doubt that Solaris began shining lately . I'm thinking to install it on my laptop as an alternative to linux to develop web applications .
    some issues are bothering my a lot, I'll name them to you ,so we can decide together :
    1. ruby official website does not provide a solaris package, how to develop Rails websites then ?
    2. Mono has no official package for x86 machines running solaris , only Solaris 8 (Sparc) is supported .
    I'm very interested in Solaris, especially Developer edition , eager to start to installing it !
    what do you think ?

    I think I hope it installs, especially on a laptop system. It failes to install on every desktop system here, I wouldn't dare put it in my laptop and see what it says. Laptops usually have a more esoteric hardware configuration than desktop systems.
    For you I really don't see the benefit of switching operating systems just to develop web applications. If you were a Java developer developing J2EE web applications then Solaris and it's integrated Java Enterprise system and first-rate developer tools would be a great change, but for Ruby on Rails and Mono - I don't see the point.
    For Ruby there may be a package available, check the OpenSolaris website and see if it has been ported over (it most probably has been, but I haven't checked yet).
    For Mono... I don't see the point in developing .NET web applications for Linux/Solaris, so I won't go there. Mono is a joke compared to Microsoft's .NET platform.
