How to Restrict Your Application Traffic Using Network Virtualization and Resource Management
Does one of your applications hog your network bandwidth at the end of each quarter? Or all year? With the virtual network capabilities in Oracle Solaris 11, you can assign bandwidth limits to specific applications. This article describes how to do that at two levels: the Virtual Network Interface card, and something called the "flow."

Basics of the Image Packaging System (IPS) on Oracle Solaris 11
Oracle Solaris 11 supplies software packages from this repository: http://pkg.oracle.com/solaris/release. You can install new software packages from this repository, search for package content, or mirror the contents of this repository locally if you are in a network-restricted environment. How to do that, plus other basic tasks to get you familiar with IPS.

How to Get Started Creating Oracle Solaris Zones in Oracle Solaris 11
Zones are more tightly integrated with other OS features in Oracle Solaris 11 than they were in Oracle Solaris 10. As a result, you can do more with zones than you could before. Plus, it's easier. But you still need to learn the new commands and procedures. This article by Duncan Hardie is a great start: it shows you how to create a zone using the command line, how to add an application to a zone, and how to clone a zone. All in Solaris 11.

sysconfig Command: Four Examples for Oracle Solaris 11
The sysconfig command in Solaris 11 replaces the sys-unconfig command used in Solaris 10. Art Beckman describes this and other differences between configuration commands, and provides four examples of its use: how to un-configure a system in preparation for a move, how to configure a system for use, how to reconfigure a system interactively (without a reboot), and how to create a configuration profile to use later or with other installation tools.

How To: Taking Your First Steps with Oracle Solaris 11
How to install Solaris 11 using the Automated Graphical Installer, one of three installation tools provided in Solaris 11. Glynn Foster and Brian Leonard show you how to install it either on VirtualBox, on bare metal as a standalone OS, or alongside another OS in a multi-boot environment on bare metal.

How to Create a Robust Platform for SAS Grid Computing with ...
You can combine the Sun Blade 6000 modular system with the ZFS Storage Appliance through a variety of networking configurations and wind up with a flexible, cost-effective platform for grid computing. The ZFS Storage Appliance eliminates the usual shared filesystem bottleneck in grid systems, and the Sun Blade system lends itself to horizontal scaling while being easy to manage. Covers the platform architecture, testing, optimization, and expected performance.

Recommendations for Creating Reduced or Minimal Oracle Solaris Configurations
Some sites use OS minimization to reduce the security footprint of their Oracle Solaris 10 (and prior versions) installation. Others do it to reduce the administrative burden of patching and updating software. But minimization has both risks and benefits. Glenn Brunette provides his recommendations for mitigating the risks and reaping the benefits.
