PCA- Patch Check advanced
Analyze, download and install patches for Sun Solaris.
By chance, I find this patching tool PCA
Created by

Austria
It seems has many follower
Other say about pca
Patch Check Advanced (pca) generates lists of installed and missing patches for Sun Solaris systems and optionally downloads patches. It resolves dependencies between patches and installs them in correct order. It can be the only tool you ever need for patch management, be it on a single machine or a complete network. Just one perl script, it doesn't need compilation nor installation, and it doesn't need root permissions to run. It works on all versions of Solaris, both SPARC and x86.
Features
Usage of pca is free of charge for private, educational and commercial use. No responsiblity is taken for any damage caused by using pca. You may modify pca's source code to fit your local needs. If sharing modified versions of pca with others, keep a reference to the original author and distribution site.

Please try it out
Installation
pca doesn't need any complicated compilation, installation or registration procedure, nor root permission. It's just one perl script.
Alternatively, pca is available as an SVR4 compliant package from Blastwave (maintained by D. Clarke), from OpenCSW (CSWpca, maintained by D. Michelsen) and on Sunfreeware (maintained by S. Christensen).
If you are forced to use a proxy for web access, make sure that wget is configured to use it: Set http_proxy in /etc/wgetrc or $HOME/.wgetrc or use the wgetproxy option with pca.
If you do not have wget installed on your system, download the current patch cross-reference file patchdiag.xref and move it to /var/tmp/ before running pca.

ZFS
One of best feature in Solaris 10 is ZFS
ZFS was introduced in Solaris 10 update 2 , but ZFS is very young FS, there are many advancement in opensolaris and some are backported in Soalris 10.
Recently the intruducation of Openstorage and Unified Storage Appliance future introduce features that only presented in Unified Storage Appliance.
Key features:

coolstack, webstack and solaris zone
This is concern on AMP and solaris zone
coolstack 1.3.1 has version on sparc and x86, webstack also has version on sparc and x86
coolstack install pkg under /opt/coolstack
webstack install pkg under /opt/webstack
opensolaris 2008.05 only support x86, next release will support sparc.
the amp, amp-dev install apache(apache2) under /usr, MySQl under /usr/mysql and php under /usr/php etc
the blastware.org also provide amp and install pkg under /opt/CSW
As for AMP in solaris zone, the configuration file and some docs files are under /etc and /var so it is possible to use the spare zone and setup different zone with various different zone for various AMP.
Even under /opt , one can share /opt with various zone
Please see the following links:
please see this link for MySql in solaris containers
some example of apache in zone

sort in 7bit and 8bit
IHAC wrote to me that depend on which subnet he login to T5120
the timex sort file>file.out on /tmp give very different result;
one is about 8 sec
one is about 2. minute 50 sec
a factor of 21 difference.
Turnout that the locale is different in two way of login to the system
one set LANG=C
one setto LNAG=en_US.utf8
the result for LANG=en_US is similar to LANG=C

SMF and tcp tuning
Before Solaris 10 when one want to pre set some ndd setting, one setup some rc3 script e.g. S99ndd
that contain ndd /dev/tcp scripts.
In solaris 10 there is similar but different way of setting these paramaters using the new SMF.Directory server TCP tuning
I also copy these text in this page

Edit the following xml file according to your environment and save the file as /var/svc/manifest/site/ndd-nettune.xml.

Before you import the ndd-nettune.xml configuration, verify that the syntax is correct. You can do this by running the following command:
$ svccfg validate /var/svc/manifest/site/ndd-nettune.xml |
Import the configuration by running the following command:
$ svccfg import /var/svc/manifest/site/ndd-nettune.xml |
For more information see the svccfg(1M) man page.
Copy the following shell script into /lib/svc/method/ndd-nettune.
#!/sbin/sh # # ident "@(#)ndd-nettune.xml 1.0 01/08/06 SMI" . /lib/svc/share/smf_include.sh . /lib/svc/share/net_include.sh # Make sure that the libraries essential to this stage of booting can be found.

Run svcadm to enable nettune (for more information, see the svcadm(1M) man page).
Run svcs -x (for more information see the svcs(1) man page).

cachefs and diskless client
Solaris used to support autoclient that can support remote disk boot in case the server is not available
In Solaris 10 we still has cachefs support for NFS mounted file system
To save the network bandwidth one can use the cachefs as backend for the readonly file systems
Since there are only two commands in diskless boot environment
/apps auto_apps -fstype=cachefs,cachedir=/cacheapps,backfstype=nfs4
