Installing Solaris Express Community Edition, build 129

Описание: Solaris Express Community Edition, build 129

Solaris Express Community Edition is a bi-weekly build that has served as Sun's delivery mechanism for the latest and greatest Solaris code that will eventually make it into the next Solaris stable release.

The Solaris Express Community Edition (SXCE) installer is purely text-based and is similar to the Solaris 10 installer. Installing the entire SXCE operating system occupies over 10 GB on the hard drive and the lack of a package management system is part of the reason why there are so many programs installed by default. SXCE shipped by default with a few proprietary software components like RealPlayer, the Adobe Flash Player plug-in, and the NVIDIA Solaris graphics driver. Solaris Express Community Edition was produced for x86 and SPARC systems.

Solaris Express Community Edition, build 129: In this Solaris release, each ZFS storage pool has an associated process, zpool-poolname. The threads in this process are the pool's I/O processing threads to handle I/O tasks, such as compression and checksumming, that are associated with the pool. The purpose of this process is to provide visibility into each storage pool's CPU utilization. Information about these process can be reviewed by using the ps and prstat commands. These processes are only available in the global zone.
