Easier System Administration with Service Management Facility

This How to Guide instructs system administrators unfamiliar with the Solaris 10 OS on how to use the Service Management Facility (SMF) to monitor and manage a Solaris 10 system. The guide starts with a brief overview of the Service Management Facility and follows with several examples of using the facility to manage services. With SMF, system administration becomes easier, faster, and more reliable—enabling both novice and experienced Solaris administrators to quickly and efficiently manage systems and their associated services.

After reading this guide, the user will be able to use SMF to obtain information about system services and be able to apply this knowledge to perform similar tasks for other services on Solaris 10 systems.   [Moins]

How to Create an SMF Manifest

The SMF How to Guide explains what a basic SMF service manifest is and shows how to develop a service manifest for a given application. The service manifest for the PostgreSQL database included in Solaris 10 is the example in this guide.

After reading this guide, the user will be able to create a simple service manifest to manage an application on a Solaris 10 system.

Another Solaris how to guide, Easier System Administration with Service Management Facility, is available at sun.com/software/solaris/howtoguides/servicemgmthowto.jsp for system administrators who wish to learn more about using SMF to manage services on Solaris 10 systems.   [Moins]

Managing ZFS in Solaris 10 Containers

This guide is intended to show a new user the capabilities of ZFS when coupled with Solaris Containers. It describes the assignment of a ZFS file system to a zone, and some of the ZFS administrative tasks possible in such a configuration. Assigning a file system to a zone gives a zone administrator full delegated control of the ZFS file system, enabling them to take snapshots, create sub file systems and perform other tasks without requiring the global zone administrator's intervention.

After reading this guide, the user will have an understanding of how to delegate a ZFS file system to a container and to manage it from within the container.   [Moins]

DTrace
Using DTrace from a Solaris 10 System

The DTrace How to Guide is intended to help a new user learn how to use DTrace for gathering and using system and application information from a Solaris 10 system. It covers how to build a D script and identifies the providers that every System Administrator and developer should know when learning and using DTrace. A few examples to help the reader get started using DTrace are also included.

After reading this guide the user will be able to construct scripts to gather useful information about running applications that in turn can be used to improve the performance on Solaris.

See the Solaris Dynamic Tracing Guide at http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/817-6223 for more details on the D language and DTrace.   [Moins]

How to Quickly Install the Solaris 10 10/08 OS on x86 Systems

This How to Guide instructs users unfamiliar with Solaris 10 installation on how to install the Solaris 10 OS on a Sun supported x86 system. This step-by-step guide, complete with screen shots, takes users through the installation process, in 22 simple steps. Novice users should be able to complete a Solaris 10 10/08 Operating System installation on a standalone x86 system using the instructions in this guide.

Installation Assumptions
This guide makes several assumptions, including:

* The system is an x86 system
* The system is compatible with the Solaris 10 OS and is listed on the Solaris Hardware Compatibility List (HCL).
* The system has a graphical interface

While this guide is most appropriate for a stand-alone system that does not have a network connection, it can also be used as a step-by-step installation procedure for networked systems—systems with an IP address that are connected to a network infrastructure—assuming network configuration information is available.

If problems arise during the installation process that are not discussed in this guide, refer to the Solaris 10 OS Installation Guide: Basic Installations for more information. This guide is part of the Solaris 10 Release and Installation Collection located on the Sun Web site   [Moins]

How To Move a Solaris Container

This How To Guide instructs users, system administrators, and developers who have experience with Solaris 10 on proper use of new features which allow a Solaris 10 Container to be moved from one computer to another. The guide starts with a brief discussion of the need for such functionality and follows with three examples of the use of this functionality.

Note: Technology described in this guide is currently available in Solaris Express, and will be available soon in a Solaris 10 update.

Users are guided step-by-step through the process of moving a Container, with code examples and illustrations. After using this guide, a user should be able to move a Solaris Container by:

* Creating a Container
* Detaching the Container
* Moving the Container to a new computer
* Attaching the Container to the new computer

For thoroughness, code examples are provided for three different scenarios:

* Each system has only one filesystem
* Each system has Containers installed onto Solaris ZFS filesystems
* Each system has Containers installed onto Solaris UFS filesystems using Solaris Volume Manager

How to Configure and Run PostgreSQL on Solaris 10

The PostgreSQL How to Guide instructs Solaris system administrators and database professionals in the process of configuring and running PostgreSQL on a Solaris 10 system. This guide covers launching and setting up the PostgreSQL database using the Solaris Service Management Facility (SMF), and configuring PostgreSQL to run in a Solaris Container technology called Solaris Zones. The user will then be able to verify and test the PostgreSQL data base.

This guide assumes that the release of Solaris being used is the Solaris 10 6/06 operating system or later. Starting with Solaris 10 6/06, PostgreSQL has been integrated with the operating system and can be installed with Solaris. If an earlier version of Solaris 10 (e.g. Solaris 10 1/06 or Solaris 10 3/05 ) is used, PostgreSQL must be installed on the system. Instructions on finding the packages and how to perform the install are included at the end of this guide.

This guide is not exhaustive and does not cover all optional features of these technologies. However, the reference section provided at the end of the document provides pointers to where administrators can learn more.   [Moins]
