Noting, of course, that those interfaces (mostly the MIB2 bits, but
also kstats) are almost entirely Consolidation Private to ON. This
means that they're not documented and may change at any time without
warning. They're not "secret," but they're not stable.
As long as your application is just a toy, and you don't care whether
it breaks after applying a patch, this should work fine. If it's not
just a toy (or can't be retooled on each kernel change), then you'll
need to get a stable interface. We don't have one, so either:
- Propose a new OpenSolaris project to create one, and work through
the problems. (Start by filing an RFE at bugs.opensolaris.org.)
or:
- Contact your local Solaris support folks and ask them to file an
RFE for you, and then work through getting a fix.
