Data Warehousing .NET Dynamic Scripting Languages Basic Operations for Oracle Solaris 11 Administration by Ginny Henningsen This article gives examples of common administrative tasks in Oracle Solaris 11. It excerpts example commands from a collection of general administration tasks in the "Oracle Solaris 11 Administrator's Cheat Sheet" written by Joerg Moellenk amp, Senior Account Architect for Oracle. Published November 2012 Oracle Solaris 11 includes state-of-the-art technologies designed to enhance eas e of use and manageability, streamline consolidation, and expedite application d eployment. A key design goal for the release was to simplify administration, all owing IT organizations to maintain systems and application stacks more easily an d with less cost.

To give system administrators a quick reference for managing Oracle Solaris 11 s ystems, Joerg Moellenkamp, a Senior Account Architect for Oracle, put together a list of general administrative commands in the "Oracle Solaris 11 Administrator 's Cheat Sheet." This article excerpts examples from that cheat sheet and introd uces concepts related to Oracle Solaris 11 administrative tasks. The cheat sheet and this article summarize commands related to these Oracle Solaris 11 topics: Performing automated installations Configuring systems and system services Managing users and groups Using Boot Environments (BEs) Using the Image Packaging System (IPS) for software package management Performing basic ZFS administration Managing disk devices Configuring Oracle Solaris Zones Using the Service Management Facility (SMF) Configuring networking, including basic configuration tasks, automated administ ration, and advanced tasks Automated Installations Oracle Solaris 11 introduces a new network-based Automated Installer (AI) that c hecks and resolves software package dependencies, provides greater provisioning flexibility, and performs hands-free installations on SPARC and x86 systems. AI

takes advantage of network-based software package repositories to streamline the installation of multiple client types. Isaac Rozenfeld, a Principle Product Manager in the Oracle Solaris group, wrote a separate Oracle Solaris 11 cheat sheet dedicated to AI commands called "Instal lation and Deployment Administration." This article and Joerg's cheat sheet repr oduce some command examples from Isaac's cheat sheet. To perform automated installations, you must first set up an Oracle Solaris 11 s ystem on the network as an AI server and define one or more installation service s. Installation services include AI boot images as well as installation manifest s and system configuration profiles. You can specify installation manifests and profiles that match certain client criteria to enable customized installations. For a client system to be installed automatically, it must be able to access the AI server, a DHCP server (which can be the same machine as the AI server), and an Oracle Solaris 11 software package repository (either the default Oracle rele ase repository or a local software repository). DHCP is used to identify the cli ent initially, but it is possible to use AI without having a DHCP infrastructure in place. On the AI server, you can use the installadm command to create, list, and config ure installation services, along with any client-matching criteria. The create-s ervice subcommand defines an installation service, as in the following sample co mmand, which creates a service using a downloaded ISO file and defines x86-based DHCP clients starting at address 192.168.1.210 for a total count of 10 addresse s: # installadm create-service -n s11x86 -i 192.168.1.210 -c 10 \ -s /path/to/solaris-11-1111-ai-x86.iso The list subcommand lists all defined installation services, as in this example: # installadm list Service Name Alias Of Status Arch Image Path ------------------------ ---- ---------default-i386 sol-11-i386-svc on x86 /export/images/soli386 default-sparc sol-11-sparc-svc on Sparc /export/images/solsparc sol-11-i386-svc on x86 /export/images/soli386 sol-11-sparc-svc on Sparc /export/images/solsparc By using the -m and -p options, respectively, with the list subcommand you can l ist installation manifests or system configuration profiles associated with inst allation services: # installadm list -m # installadm list -p AI manifests are stored in XML and are easily customized. The first command belo w exports the default installation manifest associated with the s11x86 service. After editing the exported manifest file, the update-manifest subcommand updates the manifest associated with the service: # installadm export -n s11x86 -m orig_default > manifest.xml [edit manifest.xml] # installadm update-manifest -n s11x86 -m orig_default -f manifest.xml System configuration profiles provide the ability to fine-tune systems during ha nds-free installations. They complement manifests and typically contain specific ations for post-installation (configuring system variables such as username, use r password, time zone, host name, and IP address). System configuration profiles

are processed by SMF after OS package installation when a client first boots. You can interactively create a system configuration profile and save it for subs equent installations: # sysconfig create-profile -o profile.xml System and Service Configuration The Service Management Facility in Oracle Solaris 11 is used to configure system s and store related configuration data, allowing changes to persist across syste m updates. The svccfg and svcadm commands are used to configure and control syst em services, as in this sequence that configures a system's identity: # svccfg -s svc:/system/identity:node setprop \ config/nodename = "myhost" # svcadm refresh svc:/system/identity:node # svcadm restart svc:/system/identity:node This example configures a system's time zone: # svccfg -s timezone:default setprop \ timezone/localtime = astring: US/Mountain # svcadm refresh timezone:default To unconfigure a system and start an interactive configuration on reboot, enter the following: # sysconfig configure -s You can generate an XML file containing a system configuration profile: # sysconfig create-profile -o sc-profile.xml The resulting profile can be used with AI or as input to a sysconfig command: # sysconfig configure -c sc-profile.xml Users and Groups By default, Oracle Solaris 11 configures root as a role (rather than as a user) that is entitled to perform privileged tasks. Having root as a role enhances sec urity since an individual user must first log in and assume the root role; thus every privileged action can be directly attributed to a named user and is logged accordingly. You can revert to the model where root is a normal user account by entering the following: # rolemod -K type=normal root To configure root as a role instead, as in the default setting, enter this: # usermod -K type=role root To add a new user with a System Administrator profile, enter the following: # useradd -d /export/home/joerg -P "System Administrator" joerg Boot Environments Boot Environments (BEs) are bootable operating system images. Since creating a n

ew BE takes advantage of the built-in Oracle Solaris 11 ZFS snapshot capabilitie s, you can generate a boot image clone almost instantly without using any additi onal disk space. (During a system update, only the changed blocks take up additi onal space.) Creating a BE enables a safe transition between software versions, since you can roll back to the previous software state if there's a problem. Oracle Solaris 11 automatically creates a BE in some cases (for example, system updates), but it's easy to force the creation of a BE using the beadm create com mand: # beadm create solaris-05032012 Once the BE is created, you can activate it, causing it to be the active BE at t he next reboot: # beadm activate solaris-05032012 To delete a BE, enter the following: # beadm destroy solaris-05032012 To list BEs from the SPARC boot PROM, enter this: ok boot -L To boot into a certain BE from the SPARC boot PROM, use the -Z argument, specify ing the BE name to the PROM boot command: ok boot -Z rpool/ROOT/solaris-05032012 Software Packaging and Management Oracle Solaris 11 includes a new network-centric software package management fra mework called the Image Packaging System (IPS). IPS installs and updates softwar e packages from locally connected or remote repositories, automatically checking and resolving software dependencies. IPS also checks software versions in non-g lobal zones for consistency with the global zone, simplifying software administr ation of Oracle Solaris Zones. Another cheat sheet, called the "Oracle Solaris 1 1 Cheat Sheet for Image Packaging System," summarizes common commands used with IPS, including several examples that are included here. The primary administrative interface for IPS is the pkg command. For example, to install a package called diagnostic/wireshark, enter the following: # pkg install diagnostic/wireshark Packages are sometimes grouped into related clusters. For example, on a workstat ion, you can install the solaris-desktop group of packages to provide a desktop environment: # pkg install solaris-desktop IPS eliminates all patching. Instead, to update all installed packages to the ne west versions, including packages in zones, enter this: # pkg update To understand what packages might change without actually performing the update, use the -nv options: # pkg update -nv

To uninstall a package, use the uninstall subcommand: # pkg uninstall wireshark To list all packages installed on a system, enter the following: # pkg list To get more information about an installed package, use the info subcommand: # pkg info wireshark To list the contents of an installed package, use the contents subcommand: # pkg contents wireshark To search packages in the configured repositories for a specific file, use the s earch subcommand: # pkg search math.h The following example searches for all packages installed locally on a system th at have a dependency on library/libxml2: # pkg search -l -o pkg.name 'depend::library/libxml2' Software developers, including Oracle, publish their software in software packag e repositories. You can use the pkg publisher command to show the currently conf igured repositories: # pkg publisher PUBLISHER TYPE STATUS URI solaris origin online http://pkg.oracle.com/solaris/release/ Oracle Solaris 11 has a default publisher, solaris, which supplies software pack ages from the release repository, http://pkg.oracle.com/solaris/release/. Custom ers who have an active Oracle support agreement can change the default publisher to point to the Oracle Solaris 11 support repository at https://pkg.oracle.com/ solaris/support. In the Oracle Technology Network article "How to Update Oracle Solaris 11 System s From Oracle Support Repositories," Glynn Foster steps through the process of d ownloading security certificates and keys and switching to the support repositor y. To then perform an update from the support repository, you would enter the fo llowing: # pkg set-publisher -g https://pkg.oracle.com/solaris/support \ -G http://pkg.oracle.com/solaris/release -k /path/to/ssl_key \ -c /path/to/ssl_cert solaris # pkg update File Systems Basic ZFS Administration Initially deployed in Oracle Solaris 10, Oracle Solaris ZFS is the default root file system in Oracle Solaris 11, and it is required to perform software mainten ance and safe upgrades. ZFS integrates volume management, provides high levels o f data integrity (through checksumming and copy-on-write operations), and includ es a wide variety of data services such as RAID protection, deduplication, and d ata encryption.

The primary commands to configure, construct, and manage ZFS file systems are zp ool and zfs. Devices can be physical disks or files. When you create a ZFS file system, you specify the type of data replication, such as a mirror (RAID-1) or r aidz. (A RAID-Z device is similar to RAID-5 but with atomic operations providing single-, double-, or triple-parity fault tolerance, which are specified as raid z, raidz2, and raidz3, respectively). Creating a ZFS storage pool automatically creates and mounts a new ZFS file syst em, as in the following example, which creates a ZFS pool with a single disk: # zpool create testpool c3t2d0 To create a ZFS pool with three disks in RAID-0 configuration, enter this: # zpool create testpool c3t2d0 c3t3d0 c3t4d0 To create a ZFS pool with three disks in a RAID-1 configuration or in a single-p arity RAID-Z configuration, enter mirror or raidz as arguments, respectively: # zpool create testpool mirror c3t2d0 c3t3d0 c3t4d0 # zpool create testpool raidz c2t2d0 c3t3d0 c3t4d0 ZFS uses caching to accelerate disk operations. By applying a solid state disk a s a separate ZFS Intent Log (ZIL), you can create an effective way to cache writ es. For example, to build a ZFS pool with a single disk and define a separate di sk as a ZIL, enter the following: # zpool create testpool c3t2d0 log c3t3d0 The ZFS main memory cache in DRAM is called the Adaptive Replacement Cache (ARC) . You can specify a Level 2 Adaptive Replacement Cache (L2ARC) that operates bet ween main memory and disk, configuring it on a solid state disk to accelerate re ads. To create a ZFS pool with a single disk and another disk as an L2ARC, enter this: # zpool create testpool c3t2d0 cache c3t3d0 To share a file system via NFS, enter the following: # zfs create zpool/fs1 # zfs set share=name=fs1,path=/rpool/fs1,prot=nfs rpool/fs1 # zfs set sharenfs=on rpool/fs1 In Oracle Solaris 11, you can migrate data from an old file system to a new file system while simultaneously allowing access and modification of the new file sy stem during the migration process. This is called shadow migration, which can be performed as shown in this example command sequence: # pkg install shadow-migration # svcadm enable shadowd # zfs set readonly=on path/to/data # zfs create -o shadow=file:///path/to/data \ target/new/path/to/data Disk Devices Oracle Solaris 11 includes several new disk management features, such as COMSTAR iSCSI support. To configure a disk to be used via iSCSI, use a sequence of comm ands like this:

# # # # #

svcadm enable svc:/network/iscsi/initiator iscsiadm modify initiator-node -A myclient iscsiadm add discovery-address 10.211.55.200 iscsiadm discovery -t enable devfsadm -c iscsi

To show all disks on a system, use the cfgadm command with the -s option: # cfgadm -s "select=type(disk)" Suppose disk c1t1d0 in the ZFS pool testpool is faulty. To take the pool offline and replace it, enter this sequence: # zpool offline testpool c1t1d0 # cfgadm -c unconfigure c1::dsk/c1t1d0 # cfgadm -c configure c1::dsk/c1t1d0 # zpool replace testpool c1t1d0 # zpool online testpool c1t1d0 On an x86 system, to mirror an existing boot disk c3t0d0s0 with disk c3t2d0s0, e nter these commands to format and label the disk: # fdisk -B c3t2d0s0 # prvtoc /dev/rdsk/c3t0d0s0 | fmthard -s - /dev/rdsk/c3t2d0s0 You'll need to recreate the root pool, restore a previously created root pool sn apshot, and install a boot block on the new disk. To install a boot block on an x86 system, enter an installgrub command: # installgrub /boot/grub/stage1 /boot/grub/stage2 \ /dev/rdsk/c3t2d0s0 To install the boot block on a SPARC system, enter this installboot command: # installboot -F zfs \ /usr/platform/`uname -i`/lib/fs/zfs/bootblk/dev/rdsk/c3t2d0s0 For more detailed procedures for both x86 and SPARC systems, see instructions in the manual Oracle Solaris Administration: ZFS File Systems. Oracle Solaris Zones Oracle Solaris Zones technology is an OS-level virtualization technology that pr ovides independent, isolated, and secure runtime environments called non-global zones, or simply "zones." Oracle Solaris automatically establishes a global zone for system-wide administrative control. Although all zones share the same under lying kernel, applications running in one zone can't impact applications running in other zones. The primary administrative interface for managing zones is the command line inte rface zonecfg, which uses a tree-like structure of context-relevant subcommands. Here is a simple example of how to create and install a non-global zone using z onecfg: # zonecfg -z testzone testzone: No such zone configured Use 'create' to begin configuring a new zone. zonecfg:testzone> create zonecfg:testzone> set zonepath=/zones/testzone zonecfg:testzone> set autoboot=true

zonecfg:testzone> verify zonecfg:testzone> commit zonecfg:testzone> exit The zoneadm list -v command lists all running zones, including their zone name, ID, current state, root directory, brand type, IP type, and options: # zoneadm list -v After first verifying the validity of the configured zone, the install subcomman d installs the specified zone: # zoneadm -z testzone install The zoneadm boot command is used to boot the zone: # zoneadm -z testzone boot Once a zone has booted, you can use zlogin to log in to the zone's console: # zlogin -C testzone To shut down a zone cleanly (which is the equivalent to running /usr/sbin/init 0 in the zone), enter the following: # zoneadm -z testzone shutdown You can also monitor a zone for CPU, memory, and network utilization. For exampl e, to capture these zone statistics every 10 seconds, enter this: # zonestat -z testzone 10 Service Management Facility The Service Management Facility (SMF) provides a comprehensive framework for man aging services on Oracle Solaris 11. It includes the ability to restart services automatically, including any dependencies, after a failure. The information to manage each service is stored in a service repository. See the Oracle Solaris Ad ministration: Common Tasks manual for more information about managing services. Each service instance is named with a fault management resource indicator (FMRI) . The FMRI includes the service name and the instance name. For example, the FMR I for the rlogin service is svc:/network/login:rlogin, where network/login ident ifies the service and rlogin identifies the service instance. The primary administrative interfaces for configuring and managing services are the command line interfaces svcs, svcadm, svcprop, and svccfg. The svcs command displays information about service instances from the service repository. To sho w all services, including disabled services, enter the following: # svcs The svcs -l command explains the state of service instances. For example, to lis t detailed information about the service system/zones, enter this: # svcs -l system/zones To list processes associated with the network/netcfg service, enter the followin g:

# svcs -p network/netcfg To enable a service called network/dns/client, enter the following: # svcadm enable network/dns/client To restart a service called network/nfs/server using an abbreviated FMRI, enter this: # svcadm restart nfs/server To disable a service called network/ssh, enter the following: # svcadm disable network/ssh The svcs -xv command is useful in troubleshooting services. The example in Listi ng 1 shows that the problem is nfs/status. The service nfs/client is waiting bec ause it depends on nfs/nlockmgr, which depends on nfs/status: # svcs -xv nfs/client svc:/network/nfs/client:default (NFS client) State: offline since Mon Feb 27 16:03:23 2006 Reason: Service svc:/network/nfs/status:default is not running because a method failed repeatedly. See: http://sun.com/msg/SMF-8000-GE Path: svc:/network/nfs/client:default svc:/network/nfs/nlockmgr:default svc:/network/nfs/status:default See: man -M /usr/share/man -s 1M mount_nfs See: /var/svc/log/network-nfs-client:default.log Impact: This service is not running. Listing 1. Troubleshooting Example The svcprop utility prints values of properties in the service configuration rep ository. For example, to display properties and associated values for the servic e network/ssh, enter this: # svcprop network/ssh The svccfg command modifies entries in the service configuration repository. It can be used interactively, as in this example that displays the general/enabled property for the service network/ssh: # svccfg svc:> select ssh:default svc:/network/ssh:default> listprop general/enabled general/enabled boolean false svc:/network/ssh:default> exit In the following example, the svccfg command sets the port number of the applica tion/pkg/server service to 10000, and the svcadm refresh command applies the new setting: # svccfg -s application/pkg/server setprop pkg/port=10000 # svcadm refresh application/pkg/server To configure e-mail notifications for services that drop from the online to main tenance state, enter the following: # svccfg setnotify -g from-online,to-maintenance \

mailto:admin@myhost.org Networking Oracle Solaris 11 uses profile-based networking configuration that be administer ed in one of two configuration modes: either manual or automatic. These modes di ffer in whether you configure the system manually using dladm and ipadm or by cr eating and applying network configuration profiles (NCPs). If the active profile is fixed (defined as DefaultFixed), you use the dladm and ipadm commands to configure networking. If the active networking configuration p rofile is reactive (reported as Automatic), you use netcfg and netadm to modify the profile. See the Oracle Solaris Administration: Network Interfaces and Netwo rk Virtualization manual for details. If the active profile is Automatic, you can list all profiles using the command shown in Listing 2: # netadm list -x TYPE PROFILE STATE AUXILIARY STATE ncp Automatic online active ncu:phys net0 online interface/link is up ncu:ip net0 online interface/link is up ncu:phys net1 online interface/link is up ncu:ip net1 offline* waiting for IP address to be set ncp testcfg disabled disabled by administrator loc Automatic offline conditions for activation are unmet loc NoNet offline conditions for activation are unmet loc Lab online active loc User disabled disabled by administrator Listing 2. Listing All Profiles However, the netadm list command is supported only if the network e is Automatic. Otherwise, it generates a message indicating that ed profile is active: netadm: DefaultFixed NCP is enabled; automatic network management le. 'netadm list' is only supported when automatic network management Networking Manual Administration If the active profile is Automatic, you can switch to a DefaultFixed profile and use the dladm and ipadm commands to configure networks manually: # netadm enable -p ncp defaultfixed The dladm command is used to administer data links. To show physical network int erfaces, enter this: # dladm show-phys Subcommands for ipadm create interfaces, assign addresses, and manage TCP/IP pro perties. For example, to create an interface with a static IPv4 configuration, e nter these commands: # ipadm create-ip net0 # ipadm create-addr -T static -a local=10.9.8.7/24 net0/addr # ipadm show-addr management mod the DefaultFix is not availab is active.

To create an interface with a DHCP configuration, enter the following: # ipadm create-ip net0 # ipadm create-addr -T dhcp net0/addr To create interface with auto-generated IPv6 configuration, enter the following: # ipadm create-ip net0 # ipadm create-addr -T addrconf net0/addr To configure a default route, enter this: # route -p add default 192.168.1.1 To activate a DNS configuration, configure the DNS service using SMF, as follows : # svccfg -s dns/client setprop config/nameserver = \ net_address: 192.168.1.1 # svccfg -s dns/client setprop config/domain = \ astring: "myhost.org" # svccfg -s name-service/switch setprop config/host = \ astring: "files dns" # svcadm refresh name-service/switch # svcadm refresh dns/client An alternate approach to set up DNS is to edit /etc/resolv.conf and /etc/nsswitc h.conf and then import these modifications into SMF, refreshing the required ser vices: # nscfg -f svc:/system/name-service/switch:default # nscfg -f svc:/network/dns/client:default # svcadm refresh dns/client Networking Automatic Administration If the active profile is Automatic, you use the netcfg and netadm commands to co nfigure and monitor the profile. For example, to create a network configuration profile, enter the netcfg commands shown in Listing 3: # netcfg create ncp datacenter # netcfg netcfg> select ncp datacenter netcfg:ncp:datacenter> create ncu phys net0 Created ncu 'net0'. Walking properties ... ip-version (ipv4,ipv6) [ipv4|ipv6]> ipv4 ipv4-addsrc (dhcp) [dhcp|static]> static ipv4-addr> 192.168.1.27 ipv4-default-route> 192.168.1.1 netcfg:ncp:datacenter:ncu:net0> end Committed changes netcfg:ncp:datacenter> exit Create a network location profile: # netcfg netcfg> create loc datacenter Created loc 'datacenter'. Walking properties ... activation-mode (manual) [manual|conditional-any|conditionalall]> conditional-an y conditions> ip-address is 192.168.1.27 nameservices (dns) [dns|files|nis|ldap] dns

Creating a Network Configuration Profile To activate the modified network configuration profile, enter the following: # netadm enable -p ncp datacenter Networking Advanced Administration Using dladm and ipadm commands (often in conjunction with Oracle Solaris Zones), you can implement virtualized networks. Oracle Solaris enables two types of vir tualized network interfaces: Virtual network interface cards (VNICs) are pseudo interfaces created on top of data links. Etherstubs are pseudo Ethernet NICs on which you can create VNICs (instead of c reating them on physical links). VNICs on an etherstub become independent of the physical NICs in the system. To create a VNIC on the existing physical interface net0 with the address 192.16 8.0.80, enter this: # dladm create-vnic -l net0 vnic0 # ipadm create-ip vnic0 # ipadm create-addr -T static -a 192.168.0.80 vnic0/v4 To create two virtual network interfaces (VNICs) over a virtual switch (without a physical network interface), enter the following: # dladm create-etherstub stub0 # dladm create-vnic -l stub0 vnic0 # dladm create-vnic -l stub0 vnic1 One of the powerful features of Oracle Solaris is that you can set bandwidth con trols for VNICs, thereby limiting networking resources for applications running in a zone. Duncan Hardie gives an example of doing this in the Oracle Technology Network article "How to Control Your Application's Network Bandwidth Using Orac le Solaris 11." For example, to reduce the bandwidth of vnic0 to 100 Mbps, enter the following: # dladm set-linkprop -p maxbw=100 vnic0 To restrict the bandwidth for IP address 192.168.0.30, create a flow on vnic0 an

d then restrict its bandwidth to 50 Mbps: # flowadm add-flow -l vnic0 -a remote_ip=192.168.0.30 flow0 # flowadm set-flowprop -p maxbw=50 flow0 Use the following to restrict network traffic to TCP for a local port 443 on net 0: # flowadm add-flow -l net0 -a transport=TCP,local_port=433 flow0 A common task in many network scenarios is to enable support for jumbo frames, w hich requires increasing the size of a data link's maximum transmission unit (MT U) to 9000 bytes: # dladm set-linkprop -p mtu=9000 net0 Link aggregation combines the capacity of multiple full-duplex Ethernet links in to a single logical link. To configure Link aggregation, enter this: # dladm create-aggr -l net0 -l net1 aggr0 # ipadm create-ip aggr0 # ipadm create-addr -T static -a 10.1.1.2/24 aggr0/v4 By subdividing a network into virtual local area networks (VLANs), you can impro ve network administration and security. To configure VLANs, use a sequence of dl adm and ipadm commands similar to these: # dladm create-vlan -l net0 -v 100 administration1 # dladm create-vlan -l net0 -v 2 production1 # ipadm create-ip administration1 # ipadm create-ip production1 # ipadm create-addr -T static -a 192.168.2.2/24 \ administration1/v4static # ipadm create-addr -T static -a 192.168.1.2/24 \ production1/v4static IP network multipathing (IPMP) provides physical interface failure detection, tr ansparent network access failover, and packet load spreading for multiple interf aces connected to a LAN. To configure an IPMP group, use the following configura tion sequence: # ipadm create-ip net0 # ipadm create-ip net1 # ipadm create-ip net2 # ipadm create-ipmp ipmp0 # ipadm add-ipmp -i net0 -i net1 -i net2 ipmp0 # ipadm create-addr -T static -a 192.168.1.27/24 ipmp0/v4 # ipadm create-addr -T static -a 192.168.1.50/24 net0/test # ipadm create-addr -T static -a 192.168.1.51/24 net1/test # ipadm create-addr -T static -a 192.168.1.52/24 net2/test See Also Download Oracle Solaris 11 Access Oracle Solaris 11 product documentation Access all Oracle Solaris 11 how-to articles Learn more with Oracle Solaris 11 training and support See the official Oracle Solaris blog Check out The Observatory and OTN Garage blogs for Oracle Solaris tips and tric ks Follow Oracle Solaris on Facebook and Twitter
