Packaging systems for Open Source software

There are a couple of alternatives there:

• http://www.sunfreeware.com, which is the oldest one but some sometimes old versions and seems not to be very good when it comes to timely fixes for security updates
• http://www.blastwave.org, which is newer site for the OpenSolaris community, looks quite up to date
• http://www.netbsd.org/docs/software/packages.html, which is the NetBSD packaging system that is also available on Solaris, here everything is compiled from the source; this may require a long time and during this certain packages that use the same libraries are not operationsl
• http://www.openpkg.org, uses RPM as its package format (i.e. uses binary packages); less packages that pkgsrc, but they claim that they have all the relevant stuff for servers; the claim to take security upgrades serious

Performing a Live Upgrade

Sun release a new version of Sun Developer Express edition every 3 months or so. To upgrade without having to take the machine down, you can use Live Update.
You need another partition the same size as the existing root partition. Here, I've used the swap partition.

1. Download the latest "Solaris Express Developer Edition (sxde)" DVD
2. Use a swapfile temporarily, by creating a swap file with:

    # mkfile 1g /var/swapfile
    # swap -a /var/swapfile
    # swap -l
    #dev/dsk/c5t0d0s1
   

   Format the old swap partition with 'format' and change the flag to wm from wu

1. Remove the swap entry from /etc/vfstab
2. You'll need to reboot or find another way to remount /tmp and /var/run
3. I gave the new partitions the name sxde907 as in the first link

Multi path administration

A Solaris box with 2 FC HBAs will require failover. In the following we configure LUN 68 for failover with mpathadm.
