Why is Solaris 11 iso so small ?

This post is not about Solaris 11 express. This is about Solaris 11 released on November 9, 2011
I remember download Solaris 10 (august 2011) release for x86_64. It was just above 2gb. Why the newly released Solaris 11's text based Installer is only 430 mb ?
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/server-storage/solaris11/downloads/index.html
Isn't this the fully functional Solaris 11 ?
Doesn't Solaris 11 have a GUI based installer ?

Getting the .iso image that you want to publish is the first step.
The documentation is here:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E23824_01/html/E21803/copyrepo2.html#scrolltoc
Here's what we did as a lab scenario with b.174:
(create zfs file system)
zfs create -o compression=on rpool/export/myrepository
(copy iso image to ZFS f/s)
lofiadm -a /<full path>/sol-11full.iso /dev/lofi/1
mount -F hsfs /dev/lofi/1 /mnt
rsync -aP /mnt/repo /export/myrepository
(create repository on local machine)
svccfg -s application/pkg/server setprop pkg/inst_root=/export/myrepository/repo
svccfg -s application/pkg/server setprop pkg/readonly=true
svcprop -p pkg/inst_root application/pkg/server /export/myrepository/repo
svcadm refresh application/pkg/server
svcadm enable application/pkg/server
(refresh pkg repository catalog)
pkgrepo refresh -s /export/myrepository/repo
(assign preferred publisher name to the machine)
pkg set-publisher -P -g http://my-machine.mydomain.com/ solaris
(remove the old publisher name)
pkg set-publisher -G http://pkg.oracle.com/solaris/release solaris
(test)
pkg publisher
pkg search <what you are looking for>
(on your client, remove the current publisher and add newly created publisher)
pkg set-publisher -G http://pkg.oracle.com/solaris/release -g http://my-machine.mydomain.com/ solaris
(test as before)
the pkg command has more options than can be listed here. It will take some getting used to. Hope this gets you started.

  • Why is the printed font so small on a print job I send from my email to my new HP Photosmart C510

    Why is the printed font so small on a print job I send from my email to my new HP Photosmart C510? I sent it via HP ePrint from a lotus notes based email account. It was just a text message but it was so small on the print out I could not begin to read it. 
    Thanks
    Matt

    At the document you plan to print, go to "file" in upper right corner.  Select "print preview".  Atop that window, select font size.  Recommended minimum 60%.  May need to adjust with different documents.
    Good luck!

  • Why are my Jpg files so small after being saved from Nef

    Hi,
    I am finally posting after months of trying to figure out why my images are saving so small, some 4mb after converting from Nef to Jpg.
    I am shooting with a Nikon D4s and came from a D800. I was spoilt with really large file sizes and now I am freaking out because my jpegs are so small.
    I am checking all the right boxes as far as I can see to save the jpg as large as I can, and I am not cropping the images before saving as Jpg.
    Has anyone else had this problem? I can't understand why a camera as amazing as the D4s is giving me such small files. I have read everywhere that my files need to be over 6mb to be classed as high res.
    The only thing that I can think of is maybe I am pushing my nefs too hard in camera raw/lightroom resulting in a loss of quality? Although my exposure is correct 90% of the time so Im only playing with highlights or luminance.
    Can anyone walk me through the process of what I should be doing so I can end this headache!
    Thanks in advance!

    Images are 16pm (4928x3280px as you say), and the doc is 48mb.
    So here's where I really show myself up... am I right in assuming that the more adobe compresses an image the lower the mb is on the final file, meaning if there is less detail (i.e. the low-key image is predominately black) then the jpeg will be smaller. Does this affect the print quality?
    4mb seems very low res to me. How can I retain as much of the information as possible? Do you think I should sharpen more to retain detail? Or does it even matter and I'm fretting over nothing!
    Okay. The file dimensions are fine, so we're talking purely about content and compression.
    As I already said, the low-key image contains very little data in the first place (lots of black and no colour), so it compresses well.  The dreamy woman image contains a lot of plain blue sky and out-of-focus background, so that compresses well too. No surprises there.
    Have you got any more detailed images with greater depth of field? Try creating a JPEG of that and see how big the file is.
    An Adobe JPEG Quality setting of 12 means minimum compression and therefore maximum file size. But, even so, if you saved an image which was just a single plain colour, you would find that the resulting JPEG would be just a few kB. This is how compression works.
    The lower the quality number is set, the higher the compression, the more detail is lost, and the more JPEG artefacts are created in the image.  You are already saving at 12 quality, which is the highest setting, so you are minimising any problems with detail. You should save as TIFF if you want absolutely no loss of detail, but the file sizes are much bigger.
    4MB is not a resolution. Think of it as packing a suitcase. If you're taking lots of books, you won't get the lid down. If you're taking lots of soft woollen sweaters, you can take lots. 4MB is an indication of the space that your packed image takes—if it's made of light fluffy stuff then it will be a smaller suitcase! :-)
    You should sharpen your images the same as any other. Large areas of plain or out-of-focus background need not be sharpened. You're okay. Stop worrying!

  • Download Solaris 9 ISO image

    hi,
    Does somebody know where I can download Solaris 9 ISO images?
    BR
    Marcel

    Solaris 9 is no longer available as a free download.
    Older releases of Solaris 10 are no longer available as free downloads, either.
    If you want it directly from the company, your only recourse is if you happen to have any support contract credentials with Oracle. You could then log a Support Request (S.R.) that asks for the company to send you the software on CD media. They would pull it out from their internal archives and eventually get it to you.
    I can think of another alternative, but it's not a free alternative:
    You can haunt your favorite online auction web site (for example, eBay) and purchase a full original media kit of CD's and manuals. As I type this, there are a few such kits avaiable at eBay, various Sol9 releases, both for SPARC and for x86.

  • HT4539 why i cant see ISO software update.i try everything.

    why i cant see ISO software update.i try everything.

    How have you tried to update the iPad to iOS 6.1.3 ? The page that you posted from, automatic downloads, isn't for iOS updates, only for content from the store.
    If you have iOS 5+ on your iPad then you should have a Settings > General > Software Update option for direct update on the iPad, otherwise you can only update to the current version via your computer's iTunes.
    To update via your computer, connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and copy any purchases off it to your computer via File > Transfer Purchases (File > Devices > Transfer Purchases on iTunes 11). You may also want to copy photos and any important documents off the iPad as well e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc - they should be included in the backup, but it's best to have a copy of them outside of the backup just in case. You can then force a backup of the iPad by right-clicking the iPad 'Device' on the left-hand side of iTunes and selecting 'Backup'.
    Then start the update by selecting the iPad on the left-hand side of iTunes (on iTunes 11 you can enable the left-hand sidebar via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC), and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button

  • Why all images shrink into a small dot in FlowLayout??

    Dear friends:
    When I use BorderLayout and GridLayout in JPanel, all images and JLabel are shown up properly,
    but when I change Layout to FlowLayout, JLabel still display, but all
    all images shrink into a small dot in FlowLayout, what is wrong??
    Why all images shrink into a small dot in FlowLayout??
    Thanks
    sunny

    It is probarbly overkill to set all those, but I guess its better to be save than sorry. No, it is not better to be safe than sorry. It is better to understand how LayoutManagers work. Adding unnecessary code will cause confusion as people maintaining the code will wonder why the code is there.
    There is not need to invoke any of the sizing methods. The preferred size of the lable will be the size of the image. So if the image is loaded correctly there is nothing that has to be done.
    any new idea??Your where given an idea. Post your SSCCE. No SSCCE. The code you posted is incomplete. We have no idea what your getImage(...) method does or for that matter why you even have a getImage() method. If you would read the Swing tutorial on "Using Labels" or "Using Icons" then you would find working examples.

    I forgot for sure one option for mount but which one ?
    thanks

    I have the simlar problems when I burn the downloaded Solaris9 CD. what should to find the Boot media for Solaris 9.
    I use Boot of Solaris 8 to install SOlaris 9, but fail. any inputs of some experts?

  • Why is the file size so small?

    Why is a certain file of about 40 MB that I created, possibly with InDesign CS2, reduced to about 6 MB when I open and rename it using "save as" in InDesign CS4? The 40 MB and 6 MB versions both look identical on the screen and when printed. This just recently happened with one particular file, but not with a similar file. They both contain numerous linked Photoshop images.
    I understand that using "save as" deletes possible "undo's" and can reduce the file size. Also, the newer version of InDesign could create a smaller file. But 85% smaller? And why no significant reduction in a similar file.
    I don't imagine you often hear complaints about files being too small, but this really has me confused. Anyone ever heard of a similar problem?

    Many applications do a "fast save". This includes Acrobat and Word for example. The quick save writes new stuff to the end of the file, making the file larger every time even if you delete things. Some apps use "Save as" to go through and do a slower save of only the things still used. I don;t actually know if InDesign works this way but it's quite likely. Fast save also has the advantage that it's much less likely to corrupt the file you are overwriting.

  • Why is the search field so small?

    This may not be a big issue, but I just wonder why is the search field on iTunes for Windows so extremely small that you can barely type the name of the artist and if the song or album is too long, it starts scrolling. There's an awful lot of space to the left of it, why not make that search field set as auto width so it goes almost all the way to the right edge of the middle display?

  • Rant:  Why call Solaris 11 "x86" when it's actually x64?

    There was a time I could install Solaris on a Intel Celeron 466 Mhz 256 MB machine, and that was not so long ago, just a few years. That became a nightmare with a new release because the installation needed more memory. No problem, because now I have an Intel 3 GHz 2 GB machine: that should be enough for SunOS 11. So I downloaded the X86 image and burnt it onto a CD-ROM. Not working. Buring it onto a DVD should be a more safe guess, but then the same error came: "long mode not supported". Searching with Google tought me that this is because Oracle only supports 64-bit processors now.
    Angry as I am, I am literally throwing the useless burned CD-ROM and DVD disks in the trash for miles away now. Why does Oracle name the downloads "X86" when it is in fact "X64"? While reviewing the download pages, I really can't find any clue for the X64-only thing. So it's not my fault!
    So Oracle, thanks for not supporting 32-bit systems anymore and keeping it a well kept secret.

    I got bit by that too when VirtualBox would only run a 32 bit guest on my 64 bit Opterons and the new S11 was 64 bit only.
    To answer the question, the original Solaris was SPARC based. Actually, that may not be entirely true, since Solaris descended from SunOS which (I think) predated SPARC, so there might have been a time during the transition when Solaris supported more than SPARC.
    Nonetheless, there is a Solaris SPARC and its little brother which runs on the x86 architecture: Solaris x86.
    Just because it is 64 bit only does not change the fact that it is x86-based, regardless of the fact that Linux-ish operating systems differentiate the two by referring to 64-bit x86 architecture as x64.

  • Why can't  Apple accept that smaller cities and countries exist??

    I just wish that Apple would realize that there are other places on earth besides the US, Europe and Asia!!
    I am trying to put in my city code for my clock on my iphone 4 and it will not let me put in Port of Spain, Trinidad & Tobago. My Nokia phone bought in 2005 allows this and my cheap Casio watch recognizes other smaller cities on earth...why can't Apple??
    I thought the general idea was to have ALL citizens on earth using your products??
    Please do something update wise (and NO, I do not want to enter Bridgetown, Barbados as a 'next best bet'.
    Thank you,

    I was looking for how to add any city in Trinidad to my world clock and came upon his post. It wasn't necessary to dig it up but I had the same complaint and because the posters here were mostly un-kind and un-understanding towards hm, I hoped he would know that not everybody thinks his complaint is invalid.
    Not having the capitol means the whole country is not listed. Any city. It's hard to use another country's time zone because times may change due to things like daylight-savings-time in one country but not in another. If you live on the east coast of the US, you can still use a city from your own country in the same time zone. I can use Toronto even though that's not my real hometown in Canada. I can use Beijing for my current city even though I live 1000's of miles away but still in China. There's no city listed for all of Trinidad. I'm not sure what city to list for the same time zone as Port of Spain without worrying that it will be wrong at sometime because country differences.
    Of course not all cities in the world can/should be listed but perhaps all capital cities or the largest city in even the smallest of countries could be listed.
    I guess I do not have a grip on your reality. In my reality your post makes no sense because it only tries to insult another poster and offers neither help nor explaination. I'm not sure what you gain from that. To be fair though, it does seem like many people like to post in this way.
    Thanks for your suggestion Michael Black.

  • Solaris 10 iso

    We are wanting to download Solaris 10 (actually wanting update 7 since that's what our client has, but can't find it).
    We found the "download" site for sol-10-u10-ga2-sparc-dvd.iso, but when we downloaded it, we were unable to get it to boot from the iso. The error we got was "Operating System not found".
    What else needs to be done to the iso to make it bootable. I had thought -- incorrectly it would appear -- that an iso is bootable...

    sol-10-u10-ga2-sparc-dvd.iso, but when we downloaded it, we were unable to get it to boot from the isoA couple of comments/questions:
    You were attempting to install that SPARC software to a SPARC system?
    ... or were you attempting to install it to a system with an Intel or AMD cpu architecture?
    Also, I don't think that file is directly bootable - you need to create the DVD from that ISO file.

  • Why is the iPhone 5 camera small

    On my iPhone 5 when I take pictures the screen is small even smaller then the iPhone 4S screen and I just wanna see if anyone knows why is it so small is there a reason behind it?

    the aluminum on the black iphone 5 is being damaged in Foxconn assembly, Apple is replacing all damaged scuffed,chipped/scratched devices.
    also there was a 2,000 worker riot at Foxconn that has damaged the assembly line for the iphone, get your replacement iphone5 while you can as there is soon to be a shortage

    So even if it was already acquired by Oracle it was not place on OTN downloads?
    Thanks again.Oracle acquired Sun in 2009. Sun Microsystems had already put Solaris 8 to end-of-life (EOL) status in 2007.
    I have observed that Oracle retires all products in what can be described as a very assertive or aggressive manner, so as to only present current products to customers and potential customers. The company never goes backward to "what once was".
    As for Solaris 8, they would have had to assign a person or a department to go through what essentially is a remanufacturing/re-marketing/re-packaging process to create ISO's from existing (but no longer sold) media, validate that the electronic files were viable, and place them onto a delivery channel. That would have been a counter-productive exercise.
