Virtualization> Resource management controls

> IP instances> Linux application support

Enhanced networking and performance

Open source database enhancements Integrated fixes and support for new

hardware

What's Newin Solaris 10 8/07?


4/29

Solaris 10 8/07: Virtualization

Solaris Containers> Simplified controls for dynamically controlling physical

resources assigned to a container> Memory capping, dedicated CPU, shared memory assignment

> Same controls configure the system's global zone> Live Upgrade support (ZULU) simplifies upgrade

process, with less downtime

Consolidate both Solaris and Linux apps withSolaris Containers for Linux Applications

Separate IP stacks for each zone increasesobservability


5/29

Solaris Containers for Linux Applications

Run Red Hat &CentOSapplications and librariesunmodified on x86 systems

Combines the best of virtualization,resource management and OS flexibility

> DTrace: Linux PID and syscall provider

> Leverage Solaris security and administration advantages

Extension of Solaris 10 Container technology

Designed to support differentbrands


6/29

Solaris 10 8/07: Networking

IP instances MAC addresses for each container Large Send Offload

> Hardware-accelerated data transfer on supported NICs Support for latest DHCPv6 client standards Improved name services and Samba support for

Active Directory environments

iSCSI Target support Inter-zone firewalling


7/29

Example zonecfgoutput

globalzone# zonecfg -z demozonedemozone: No such zone configured

Use 'create' to begin configuring a new zone.

zonecfg:demozone> create

zonecfg:demozone> add dedicated-cpuzonecfg:demozone:dedicated-cpu> set ncpus=2zonecfg:demozone:dedicated-cpu> endzonecfg:demozone> set ip-type=exclusivezonecfg:demozone> end

zonecfg:demozone> commit


8/29

Solaris: Optimized for Databases

Deploy enterprise databases

> Partnerships with Oracle, IBM, etc.

Deploy open source databases> PostgreSQL: optimized, integrated in

Solaris, supported by Sun

> MySQL: optimized by Sun, MySQL;supported by MySQL

> Java DB: ideal for integration withJava applications

Agenda



10/29

Solaris 10 Migration Opportunities

Large Solaris 8 deployments> Many old systems going End of Service Life

> Support costs for Solaris 8 are increasing

Migration to new HW and OS means risk and cost> Important applications warrant cost> Many less important applications are left behind

Many applications are no longer under support> Older (unsupported) versions or homegrown/inhouse

Market expectation is changing> Virtualization technology is being adopted

> Tools are expected to help with the transitions


11/29

Solaris 8 Migration Assistant (S8MA)

Solaris 8 Migration Assistant (S8MA) provides aSolaris 8 to Solaris 10 migration solution for SPARCsystems> Run Solaris 8 applications in Solaris 10 containers

utilizing the latest systems> A solution for Solaris 8 application consolidation

> Integrate with Sun's existing Migration Services offerings

Delivers tool for Physical-to-Virtual (P2V)conversion of Solaris 8 systems into Solaris 8Containers

Built on proven technology: Solaris Containers

S8MA and Solaris

Key foundations for Solaris 8 Migration Assistant> The Solaris Binary Compatibility Guarantee

> Solaris Containers

> BrandZ Technology

Integrated with other Solaris features> DTrace

> ZFS> Predictive Self Healing (FMA)


14/29

Technology Components

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

target system

Updater> This tool prepares the Solaris 8 images so they can run

in the Solaris 8 Container

Solaris 8 Container

> The environment that runs the Solaris 8 environment asif it is still on the original system


15/29

How does S8MA work?

Migration> P2V tool archives Solaris 8 image

> Image is pulled across to Solaris 10 machine

> Updater adds patches to Solaris 8 image

> Updater makes changes for known incompatibilitiesi.e. some startup scripts

Runtime

> Solaris 8 user land environment booted on S8MA> Solaris 8 brand library translates Solaris 8 system calls

to Solaris 10


16/29

Requirements

SPARC only Client System

> Any SPARC hardware running Solaris 8 with latestrecommended patches applied

Target System> Any SPARC hardware that runs Solaris 10

> Solaris 10 8/07 including BrandZ technology

> Kernel patches delivering additional customisations toBrandZ (127111-01 or higher)


17/29

Sweet Spot

Legacy Applications> small:too much effort to port

> home grown:no longer have the code

> old:unsupported, lost the documentation Non-root User land applications

Hardware that is going end of life

> performance should improve as move onto later chipsets Compute farms

> To run everywhere OEMs compile to lowest commonfactor

Using zonecfg to define a solaris8zone

globalzone# zonecfg -z mys8mys8: No such zone configured

Use 'create' to begin configuring a new zone.

zonecfg:mys8> create -t SUNWsolaris8zonecfg:mys8> set zonepath=/aux/zones/mys8zonecfg:mys8> add netzonecfg:mys8:net> set physical=e1000g0zonecfg:mys8:net> set address=10.2.2.5/24zonecfg:mys8:net> end

zonecfg:mys8> commit

globalzone# zoneadm list -vcID NAME STATUS PATH BRAND IP

0 global running / native shared

- mys8 configured /aux/zones/mys8 solaris8 shared


21/29

Use zoneadm to install the zone

globalzone# zoneadm -z mys8 install -a -u/net/server/mys8.flar

Log File: /var/tmp/mys8.install.106203.logSource: /net/server/mys8.flar

Installing: This may take several minutes...

Postprocess: This may take a minute...

How to get S8MA

Software available via download for trial purposes Deployment through Sun Enterprise Migration

Implementation Service from Sun PS

Separate Subscription Part # from Solaris 10> Includes RTU, software, and service

> Licensed per socket

> Solaris Premium Subscription, Gold or Platinum status

required Separate Solaris 8 license to run a Solaris 8

Container is not required


23/29

Solaris 10 Evaluation Service

Minimum service consists of 3 activities> Assess application(s) to check possible use in Solaris 8

container

> Configuration of Solaris 8 container, subsequent installs

may be performed by the customer> Support while testing applications in Solaris 8 container.

Not all Solaris 8 applications are suitable S8MA,SunPS will:> help maximize the benefits of S8MA

> help insure technology is correctly leveraged

> minimize the risk and impact of migration


24/29

Conclusion

S8MA will help you rapidly migrate applicationsreducing risk and cost

No one knows Solaris better than Sun

Core engineers that brought you the quality ofSolaris 8 and Solaris 9 implemented S8MA

This is a fully supported service

There is no need for reverse engineering Elegant solution that is embedded in the kernel
