  2. “Open source isabout community,not economy,not hype, not ...”

  3. What is OpenSolaris ?OpenSoaris was founded as an Open Source project by Sun Microsystems in June of 2005, and originally created as a clearing house for releasing CDDL licensed Solaris code for others (such as Nexenta and Sine Nomine) to produce Solaris-compatible operating systemsFact: OpenSolaris is the first and only System V-based UNIX to have been released into Open Source.

  4. History Solaris is a proprietary UNIX system by Sun Microsystems. Widely regarded for it's stability Bulk of kernel open-sourced in June 2005 under the CDDL license as OpenSolaris Opensolaris :: Linux+GNU Code available at opensolaris.org Extreme innovation.

  5. The History of Solaris Two decades of Innovation • VFS and Vnode framework. • NFS implemented First version of Sun Unix based on 4 BSD. • OpenWindow graphics Environment • Assymetric Multiprocessing • New VMS • Dynamic linking • First Sparc • Support i386 Sun Unix 0.7 Sun OS 1.0 Sun OS 2.0 Sun OS 4.0 Sun OS 4.1 1990 1985 1988 1982 1983 SunOS+BSD+SVR3 + Xenix = SVR4 SVR4 + Multiprocessor scalability = Solaris • 20-way SMP • Slab allocator • Cachefs • CDE environment • 64-way SMP • Large page support • Doors • NFSv3 • Dynamic processor sets • Dynamic reconfiguration • Large file support • Ported to x86 • 8-way SMP • Device power management Solaris was born. 4 way SMP Solaris 2.1 Solaris 2.3 Solaris 2.4 Solaris 2.5 Solaris 2.6 Solaris 2.0 Solaris 2.2 1992 1992 1993 1993 1994 1995 1996

  6. What is OpenSolaris ? Its the Solaris codebase. Its a Community. It is our project website ! Celebrated its First Birthday on June 14th 2006 24 years of UNIX development is now free and open. An attempt to allow non-Sun developers to participate in the Solaris community Expand the Solaris Ecosystem All future versions of Solaris are based on this codebase.

  7. OpenSolaris at the center Sun's Supported Solaris Products and Updates Sun's Solaris Express CR Solaris Express marTux Distribution ZFS port: FUSE/Linux ZFS port: DragonFly BSD DTrace port: FreeBSD BeleniX Trusted Solaris Nevada Source Gate

  8. Open Solaris and GNU/Linux Mozilla Firefox, Mozilla Thunderbird, OpenOffice.org, ... GNOME X Window System UNIX utilities GNU utilities POSIX POSIX+ extensions System libraries Linux kernel Solaris kernel Hardware

  9. Why Open Solaris? It's technologies! ZFS Dtrace Zones Binary compatibility guarantee .. and a lot more coming

  10. Why OpenSolaris: ZFS Moore's law need 65th bit in 10-15 years (1PB = 50 bits)‏ 128 bit – the last word in file systems file size: up to 16 × 10³ PetaByte pool size: up to 3 × 10²³ PetaByte ZFS takes care of endianess & encryption compression data corruption Web : http://opensolaris.org/os/community/zfs/ Online Demo : http://opensolaris.org/os/community/zfs/demos/

  11. Why OpenSolaris: DTrace DTrace is a dynamic troubleshooting and analysis tool first introduced in the Solaris 10 and OpenSolaris operating systems. DTrace is many things, in particular: A tool A programming language interpreter An instrumentation framework DTrace provides observability across the entire software stack from one tool. This allows you to examine software execution like never before. Available on OpenSolaris, Solaris 10, Mac OSX, FreeBSD Web : http://opensolaris.org/os/community/dtrace/ Examples, Documentation and Technical Articles at the above URL

  12. Trace your software on a live production system Thousands of probes Monitor file system access Monitor system calls Monitor memory usage Monitor everything Place blame where it belongs Ported to FreeBSD, OS X

  13. Why OpenSolaris: Zones Virtualize OS service that emulate an OS instance Isolates applications from each other Improve security by intrusion-isolation Boot and bring down zones independent of the OS instance Compatible with existing applications Almost arbitrary granularity in isolating and sharing resources Web: http://opensolaris.org/os/community/zones/ Examples, Documentation and Technical Articles at the above URL

  14. Built-in virtualization Consolidate your servers Sandboxed application environments Dynamic resource reallocation

  16. What can I do on Open Solaris?

  17. And..

  18. The Distributions Sun sponsored Solaris 10 Solaris Express Community Edition (every fortnight)‏ Solairs Express Developer Edition (every 3 months)‏ Community BeleniX (LiveCD x86)‏ Nexenta (GNU/Opensolaris)‏ Martux (Sparc LiveCD)‏ Schillix, Milax ! Project Indiana!

  19. Project Indiana

  20. What are the community issues ? opensolaris.org grew up around the source, and engaging developers Not necessarily a good showcase for OpenSolaris technology Poor download experience Little user community growth

  21. What are the technology issues ? High adoption barriers Install, Packaging, Hardware Media size has grown too large to reach important markets No clear binary technology base to work from No formal roadmap or public process for SXCE/SXDE

  22. Project Indiana .. is what everyone is talking about in OpenSolaris land. Is the promising new OpenSolaris binary distribution Lead by Ian Murdock: The 'Ian' in Debian. What's a Linux guy doing in OpenSolaris? Pre release in Oct 2007, first release on May 5th 2008. Great new features you always wanted in Solaris.

  23. Project Indiana OpenSolaris reference binary distribution SUN and Community jointly built Single CD install and network package repository 100% re-distributable LiveCD/DVD functionality ZFS as default file-system More intuitive update experience with ZFS rollback functionality

  24. Major Indiana Technologies LiveCD/DVD/USB Infrastructure derived mostly from BeleniX – Slim Install OpenSolaris uses GRUB and is multiboot aware OpenSolaris also uses an Initial Ramdisk New Packaging Distribution Constructor Simply select packages from repository Customize look and feel and spread your own distribution! Modern Simple Installer Live Upgrade Mechanism

  25. Why should I Care ? <showoff> Be Proud of being an OpenSolaris hacker ! </showoff> Observability Understand what your OS does. Better than a Text Book The guy who wrote your OS text book is a hardcore Solaris fan! Direct Access to the Experts ! Talk to the guy designed and wrote the best FS in the world !

  26. OpenSolaris 2008.05 !

  27. What is OpenSolaris 2008.05? OpenSolaris 2008.05 is the first official release in a new binary distribution based on the OpenSolaris operating system. It’s the first Opensolaris operating system that’s fully supported by Sun It is Sun’s equivalent to Red Hat’s Fedora or Novell’s OpenSUSE.. or Ubuntu's Ubuntu!

  28. An all new beginning for the Solaris operating system!

  29. "OpenSolaris is a massive advancement for OS development and deployment. It combines the strong foundation of Solaris technologies and tools with modern desktop features and applications developed by open source communities such as GNOME, Mozilla and the Free Software Foundation," said Stephen Lau, OpenSolaris Governing Board member.

  30. Features of OpenSolaris 2008.05 • “SlimInstall” LiveCD ! • Brand new Image Packaging System (IPS)‏ • Improved Caiman installer • GNOME 2.22 interface, the very same that powers Ubuntu Hardy Heron’s. • Many new applets / configuration UI's • It is the first OS to feature ZFS as its default file system • ZFS, Zones, Dtrace, Sun XvM enabled • The version of DTrace comes with a graphical user interface called Dlight. • Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud Availability

  31. OpenSolaris structure Uses GRUB as the bootloader Uses ZFS as the filesystem of choice OpenSolaris requires a primary partition. Extended support soon. The GNOME Desktop Enviornment Compiz for 3D Goodness :)‏ Preferences > Appearance > Visual effects Minimum requirements: Intel x86 Platform 512 Mb Ram

  32. Image Packaging System (IPS)‏ Simple commands to manage packages: pkg install <package> pkg uninstall <package> Etc. Simple Gui available. A network-based, network-aware packaging system with full dependency-checking capabilities! 3rd-party IPS repositories such as Sunfreeware and BlastWave are sprouting up

  33. Installing Opensolaris Get it from http://www.opensolaris.com Easy to Install

  34. Installation Demo

  35. Get OpenSolaris 2008.05 !

  36. Request a Free 2008.05 CD !

  37. Participate http://www.opensolaris.org Mailing lists (Chat with Operating Systems experts)‏ Ongoing projects Bugs reports/ RFEs User groups Blogs Ask that question irc.freenode.net channel: #opensolaris

  38. Where to go for help? Stuck on the build? (you read the README, right?)‏ Ask on opensolaris-help@opensolaris.org Questions about the code or found a bug? Ask on opensolaris-code@opensolaris.org Got a fix for a bug? Request a sponsor on request-sponsor@opensolaris.org Solaris is the sux0r! Linux rulez!
