Re: [osol-discuss] @Oracle employees: OpenSolaris updates up to Solaris 11

2010-08-18 Thread ken mays
Ref: http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/migration_program.jsp

1. Solaris 10 -> Solaris 11 (Express)
2. Migrating to Solaris 10/11 from other operating systems
3. OTN portal (when all else fails, seek out the Oracle Technology Network.

Migrating from Solaris 10 to Solaris 11 can be done in some very basic steps. 
This is only based on my migrations from Solaris Legacy OSes to 
OpenSolaris-based OS installs.

Protect and backup important data at all costs!

Solaris 11 express is not even official. Oracle employees are very
likely not allowed to share details, sun's days where they could talk
about what was next are over

I'm curious to know how the migration from OpenSolaris snv_134 to Solaris 11 
Express will happen.
The simplest solution would be to run simply "pkg image-update" on global and 
local zones.

I hope it would not be required to have two separate physical servers to do the 
migration (it would explode the costs at hosting services).

I hope too that the kernel will be still open source in Solaris 11.

I don't know what the plans are then.

But what about after Solaris 11 reaches FCS? will Solaris Express become a 
persisting program then?

Thanks

As John Fowler recently announced, preview releases of Solaris 11 should
be out later this year - you should be able to use those until Solaris 11
comes out instead of moving back to Solaris 10.

[osol-discuss] @Oracle employees: OpenSolaris updates up to Solaris 11

2010-08-18 Thread Stephan Ferraro
Dear Oracle employees,

could you please provide OpenSolaris updates up to that Solaris 11 comes out?
It makes no sense for everybody here to switch to Solaris 10 which has less 
features than OpenSolaris.

Specially updates of Sunstudio would be great.

Thanks to forward my message to your managers.
