What is OpenSolaris ?

OpenSoaris was founded as an Open Source project by Sun Microsystems in June of 2005, and originally created as a clearing house for releasing CDDL licensed Solaris code for others (such as Nexenta and Sine Nomine) to

produce Solaris-compatible operating systems

Fact: OpenSolaris is the first and only System V-based UNIX to have been released into Open Source.

History Solaris is a proprietary UNIX system by Sun

Microsystems. Widely regarded for it's stability Bulk of kernel open-sourced in June 2005

under the CDDL license as OpenSolaris Opensolaris :: Linux+GNU Code available at opensolaris.org Extreme innovation.

What is OpenSolaris ? Its the Solaris codebase. Its a Community. It is

our project website ! Celebrated its First Birthday on June 14th

2006 24 years of UNIX development is now free

and open. An attempt to allow non-Sun developers to

participate in the Solaris community Expand the Solaris Ecosystem All future versions of Solaris are based on this

codebase.

Why Open Solaris?

It's technologies! ZFS Dtrace Zones Binary compatibility guarantee .. and a lot more coming

12


Why OpenSolaris: ZFS Moore's law

need 65th bit in 10-15 years (1PB = 50 bits)

128 bit – the last word in file systems file size: up to 16 × 10³ PetaByte pool size: up to 3 × 10²³ PetaByte

ZFS takes care of endianess & encryption compression data corruption

Web : http://opensolaris.org/os/community/zfs/Online Demo : http://opensolaris.org/os/community/zfs/demos/

13


Why OpenSolaris: DTrace DTrace is a dynamic troubleshooting and analysis tool first

introduced in the Solaris 10 and OpenSolaris operating systems.

DTrace is many things, in particular: A tool

A programming language interpreter

An instrumentation framework

DTrace provides observability across the entire software stack from one tool. This allows you to examine software execution like never before.

Available on OpenSolaris, Solaris 10, Mac OSX, FreeBSD

Web : http://opensolaris.org/os/community/dtrace/Examples, Documentation and Technical Articles at the above URL

14


Trace your software on a live production system

Thousands of probes Monitor file system access Monitor system calls Monitor memory usage Monitor everything

Place blame where it belongs Ported to FreeBSD, OS X

15


Why OpenSolaris: Zones Virtualize OS service that emulate an

OS instance Isolates applications from each other Improve security by intrusion-isolation Boot and bring down zones

independent of the OS instance Compatible with existing applications Almost arbitrary granularity in isolating

and sharing resources

Project Indiana

22


What are the community issues ? opensolaris.org grew up around the

source, and engaging developers Not necessarily a good showcase for

OpenSolaris technology Poor download experience Little user community growth

23


What are the technology issues ? High adoption barriers

Install, Packaging, Hardware

Media size has grown too large to reach important markets

No clear binary technology base to work from

No formal roadmap or public process for SXCE/SXDE

24


Project Indiana .. is what everyone is talking about in

OpenSolaris land. Is the promising new OpenSolaris binary

distribution Lead by Ian Murdock: The 'Ian' in Debian. What's a Linux guy doing in OpenSolaris? Pre release in Oct 2007, first release on May

5th 2008. Great new features you always wanted in

Solaris.

25


Project Indiana OpenSolaris reference binary distribution SUN and Community jointly built Single CD install and network package

repository 100% re-distributable LiveCD/DVD functionality ZFS as default file-system More intuitive update experience with ZFS

rollback functionality

26


Major Indiana Technologies LiveCD/DVD/USB Infrastructure derived

mostly from BeleniX – Slim Install OpenSolaris uses GRUB and is multiboot aware OpenSolaris also uses an Initial Ramdisk

OpenSolaris 2008.05 !

29


What is OpenSolaris 2008.05?

OpenSolaris 2008.05 is the first official release in a new binary distribution based on the OpenSolaris operating system.

It’s the first Opensolaris operating system that’s fully supported by Sun

It is Sun’s equivalent to Red Hat’s Fedora or Novell’s OpenSUSE.. or Ubuntu's Ubuntu!

30


An all new beginning for the Solaris operating system!

31


"OpenSolaris is a massive advancement for OS development and deployment. It combines the strong

foundation of Solaris technologies and tools with modern desktop features and applications developed by open source communities such as GNOME, Mozilla and the Free Software Foundation," said Stephen Lau,

OpenSolaris Governing Board member.

32


Features of OpenSolaris 2008.05

“SlimInstall” LiveCD ! Brand new Image Packaging System (IPS) Improved Caiman installer GNOME 2.22 interface, the very same that powers

Ubuntu Hardy Heron’s. Many new applets / configuration UI's It is the first OS to feature ZFS as its default file system ZFS, Zones, Dtrace, Sun XvM enabled The version of DTrace comes with a graphical user

interface called Dlight. Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud Availability

33


OpenSolaris structure Uses GRUB as the bootloader Uses ZFS as the filesystem of choice OpenSolaris requires a primary partition. Extended

support soon. The GNOME Desktop Enviornment Compiz for 3D Goodness :)

Preferences > Appearance > Visual effects Minimum requirements:

Intel x86 Platform 512 Mb Ram

34


Image Packaging System (IPS)

Simple commands to manage packages: pkg install <package> pkg uninstall <package> Etc.

Simple Gui available.

3rd-party IPS repositories such as Sunfreeware and BlastWave are sprouting up

A network-based, network-aware packaging system with full dependency-checking capabilities!
