Fast Track to Solaris 10 Adoption: Predictive Self-Healing

Please click on a question below or download a pdf version.

1. What tools will be available to configure PSH?
2. Are self-healing activities configurable?
3. Can I configure how PSH reacts to errors?
4. What will the PSH do out of the box, and what sort of configuration is needed to fully use it?
5. Will there be a live upgrade path from the Solaris 8 OS directly to the Solaris 10 OS?

Q: What tools will be available to configure PSH?

A: Most of PSH is self-configuring; the only things that we want you to tune are things like custom actions to take when a diagnosis occurs (e.g., e-mail your pager or something like that). Then the Service Management Facility (SMF), which will manage application services, has many configurable behaviors for administrators. Stay tuned to Solaris Express to learn more.

Q: What will the PSH do out of the box, and what sort of configuration is needed to fully use it?

A: PSH provides error handling, fine-grained fault diagnosis, predictive analysis of failing components, and self-healing responses for faults detected in a system. Applications and services will continue to run while the system transparently self-heals and resources are failed over or restarted. PSH is available on all Solaris10 OS systems with special instrumentation of the CPU/mem and PCI subsystems available for US-III based systems.
