Installation & Configuration
Please see the questions below or download a pdf version.
Q: Is Sun's listed B.C.P. to do fresh installs of the Solaris 10 OS? Is there a penalty for doing an OS upgrade? Any words of wisdom on Solaris 9-to-Solaris 10 OS in-place migration?
A: For general information on moving to the Solaris 10 OS, please visit: http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/10/move.jsp. You can also visit the Solaris 10 OS Adoption Kit at the following URL, which includes documentation and resources for testing, support, porting, and application recompile: http://iforce.sun.com/protected/solaris10/adoptionkit/
Q: Our SAP/Oracle apps generally have us modifying the /etc/system file to change semaphore and shared memory parameters. Does the Solaris 10 OS have the ability to dynamically change the parameters, or do we still have to tweak /etc/system?
A: In the Solaris 10 OS, the system-wide limits have been remodeled as resource controls. Resource controls can be altered on the fly, controlled by the project database, and thus managed from the network if needed. If you have a Solaris 9 OS, see rctladm(1M).
