Solaris 8 Containers and Solaris 9 Containers

Customer Challenges• There is a desire and need to:

> Consolidate and Virtualize> Deploy latest hardware > Access the innovations in

Solaris 10

• Challenges:> Upgrade from Solaris 8

and/or Solaris 9 to Solaris 10 > Coordinate across multiple

organizations> Maintain uncertified legacy

applications> Reduce risk

Under utilized systems

Sprawling IT infrastructure &

licenses

Ability to deploy

new services

Power and

cooling

Space & footprint

Fewer, Large, Monolithic SystemsSystem importance justifies migration effort and risk

ISV Application: certification and support critical

Many, Small (often thousands) of systems

Home-grown application stacks common

Often one system per application instance

Per-system migration effort small, volume effort is large

Long Tail of the Data Center

ISV support not required or critical

Highly customized one-off stacks

Target applications fully supported on new infrastructure

Re-qualification of applications unnecessary

Addressing Customer Challenges• Run Solaris 8 and Solaris 9 applications in Containers on

Solaris 10 > Get benefits of Solaris 10: DTrace, Predictive Self Healing, ZFS

• Consolidation tool > Consolidate multiple Solaris 8 and Solaris 9 application

environments on a single SPARC system> Reduce power, space, cooling, and support costs > Reduce server sprawl

• Bridging technology> Smooths transition to Solaris 10 > Move to Solaris 10 at your own pace> Reduce upgrade risk with optional consulting services from Sun

Using Containers to help move to Solaris 10

Physical to Virtual (P2V)

Solaris 10 is the basis

• Key foundations for Solaris 8 Containers and Solaris 9 Containers> The Solaris Binary Compatibility Guarantee> Solaris Containers> BrandZ Technology

• Integrated with other Solaris features> DTrace> ZFS> Predictive Self Healing (FMA)

Technology Components

• Archiver or P2V tool> Archives the Solaris 8 or Solaris 9 system ready to be

moved to the target system

• Updater> This tool prepares the Solaris 8 or Solaris 9 images so

they can run in the Container on Solaris 10

• Solaris 8 Container or Solaris 9 Container> The environment that runs the Solaris 8 or Solaris 9

environment as if it is still on the original system

How does it work?

• Transfer> P2V tool archives Solaris 8 or Solaris 9 image> Image is pulled across to Solaris 10 machine> Updater adds patches to Solaris 8 or Solaris 9 image> Updater makes changes for known incompatibilities

i.e. some startup scripts

• Runtime> Solaris 8 or Solaris 9 user land environment booted > Solaris 8 brand library translates Solaris 8 system calls to

Solaris 10> Solaris 9 brand library translates Solaris 9 system calls to

Solaris 10

Requirements

• SPARC only• Source System

> Any SPARC hardware running Solaris 8 or Solaris 9 with latest recommended patches applied

• Target System> Any SPARC hardware that runs Solaris 10> Solaris 10 8/07 or later release

Suitable applications• Legacy Applications which are

> Small: too much effort to port> Home grown: no longer have the code> Old: unsupported, lost the documentation > Facing retirement in near future

• Non-root User land applications• Large Solaris 8 or Solaris 9 deployments

> Solaris 8 hardware reaching End of Service Life

• Compute farms> To run everywhere OEMs compile to lowest common

factor
