IPS Weaknesses IPS requires a mindset change.

The syntax of setting up publishers, mirrors, local

repositories, etc., is new for most people.

IPS is not OS-independent.

- Many middleware and application products are not

installable using IPS.

- This restriction impacts non solaris publishers and repositories as well.

Install scripting is hard with IPS.

Analysis is slow with IPS.

Automated Installer Overview

AI automates the installation of the OS on one or

more SPARC and x86 systems over a network.

AI uses an installation manifest to install systems.

The installations differ in architecture, software

packages, disk capacity, network configuration, and

other parameters.

30

Automated Installer Components

AI server: Provides the install service that contains the installation instructions for the client system

Client system to be installed: Accesses the IP address information from the DHCP server

DHCP server: Provides the initial IP addresses and boot information

IPS repository: Provides the software packages that are identified in the AI manifest file to the client system

31

Types of AI Manifests

Default AI manifest: Is an installation manifest that has

no criteria associated with it

Custom AI manifest: Provides installation criteria for a

specific client

Criteria file: Allows client-specific installation instructions

to be associated with AI services

32

Default AI Manifest (default.xml) pkg:/entire@latest pkg:/group/system/solaris-large-server

33

AI Installation Server Requirements

Hardware Requirement

Disk space Approximately 0.75 GB additional disk space for each

AI installation service after Oracle Solaris 11 OS has

been installed

Memory Recommended minimum: 1 GB

Software Requirement

Operating system Oracle Solaris 11 must be installed.

IP address A static IP address must be used.

Router

The default route must be set.

DHCP DHCP must be set up.

IPS repository The repository must be set up locally.

35

How the Automated Installer Works

36

System Configuration Profile Specifies client system configuration as a set of

configuration parameters in the form of an SMF profile

Applied during the first boot of the system after

installation

Allows configuration of anything configurable via smf(5)

properties

Allows multiple sets of system configuration instructions

for each install service

Allows for multiple SC profiles to be associated with

each client

Is added to the svcname install service using the installadm create-profile command

37

System Configuration Profile Example

(comments omitted)

38

How AI Installs Non-Global Zones Non-global zones are installed using the configuration

element in the AI manifest.

After global zone installation and reboot, the zones self-assembly SMF service (svc:/system/zones-

install:default) configures and installs each non-

global zone per the AI manifest.

If the zone is configured with autoboot=true, the

system/zones-install service boots the zone after the

zone is installed.

39

Automated Installer Strengths Integrated into the OS

Simplifies complexity of installation and reduces initial

and ongoing costs of deploying Oracle Solaris reliably

Can provision Oracle Solaris 11 zones as part of its base

functionality

Provides an intuitive installation service

management interface to manage different

installation services across different architectures

Offers derived manifest functionality to enable

dynamic parameter changes in AI Install manifest

Can convert Oracle Solaris 10 Jumpstart rules and

profiles to AI manifests

40

Automated Installer Weaknesses

AI is very different from Jumpstart.

AI requires XML knowledge.

Jumpstart rules, profiles, and configuration files

must be converted to AI criteria, AI manifests, and

SMF system configuration profiles.

AI requires a specific DHCP configuration.

ZFS: Data Protection with Migration Shadow migration enables file systems to be migrated

from:

A local or remote ZFS file system to a target ZFS file system

A local or remote UFS file system to a target ZFS file system

Shadow migration process is as follows:

Administrator creates an empty ZFS file system.

Administrator sets the shadow property on an empty ZFS file

system to point to the file system to be migrated.

Data from file system to be migrated is copied over to the

shadow file system in the background while normal operations

occur.

# zfs create -o shadow=file:///rpool/old users/home/shadow

47

ZFS: Data Security with Industry Standard Encryption

ZFS encryption is integrated with the ZFS command set.

An encryption policy can be set when a ZFS file system is

created, but the policy cannot be changed.

The encryption policy on a new file system is enabled by setting the encryption property to on: encryption=on

ZFS encryption is inheritable to descendent file systems.

ZFS encryption uses the Oracle Solaris Cryptographic

Framework, which gives it automatic access to:

Hardware assisted cryptographic acceleration

Optimized encryption algorithms # zfs create -o encryption=on hrpool/home/reports Enter passphrase for hrpool/home/reports': xxxxxxx Enter again: xxxxxxxx

48

ZFS: Space Savings with Deduplication

The ZFS deduplication property (dedup) removes redundant

data from ZFS file systems as the data is being written.

When the deduplication property is enabled, duplicate data

blocks are removed synchronously to data as the data is

written.

The property is enabled by setting the deduplication property to on: dedup=on

Deduplication is performed across the entire ZFS storage

pool but only on the datasets that have deduplication

enabled.

Deduplication can be used in combination with ZFS

compression and encryption.

# zfs set dedup=on rpool/home

49

ZFS: Space Savings with Compression

The ZFS compression property is used to enable and

disable compression for a file system.

The compression property is disabled by default.

The property is enabled by setting the compression property

to on: compression=on

The values are on, off, lzjb, gzip, and gzip-N.

Enabling compression on a file system with existing data

compresses only new data.

The compression ratio is inherited by child file systems.

# zfs set compression=on datapool/software/solaris # zfs get -r compression datapool NAME PROPERTY VALUE SOURCE datapool compression off default datapool/software compression off default datapool/software/solaris compression on local datapool/software/solaris/ar compression on inherited from datapool/software/solaris

ZFS Weaknesses Customers believe that ZFS is only designed for JBOD,

not for enterprise-class storage.

Tuning recommendations http://www.solarisinternals.com/wiki/index.php/ZFS_Evil_Tuning_Guide#

Cache_Flushes

Customers have the impression that ZFS uses a lot of

memory.

Memory recommendations: http://www.solarisinternals.com/wiki/index.php/ZFS_Best_Practices_Gui

Network Virtualization and Virtual Networks

Network virtualization

Is the process of combining hardware network

resources and software network resources

Provides efficient, controlled, and secure sharing of

network resources

Virtual networks

External networks: Several local networks administered

by software as a single entity

Internal networks: One system using virtual machines

or zones that are configured over at least one

pseudonetwork interface

Zone Configuration Using VNICs Example

# zonecfg -z hrzone hrzone: No such zone configured

Use 'create' to begin configuring a new zone.

zonecfg:hrzone> create zonecfg:hrzone> set zonepath=/zones/hrzone zonecfg:hrzone> set autoboot=true zonecfg:hrzone> set ip-type=exclusive zonecfg:hrzone> add net zonecfg:hrzone:net> set physical=vnic1 zonecfg:hrzone:net> end zonecfg:hrzone> verify zonecfg:hrzone> commit zonecfg:hrzone> exit #

59

System Resource Allocation to a Zone

To allocate system resources to a zone, perform the

following steps:

Specify a subset of the systems processors that should be dedicated to a zone while it is running.

Limit the amount of CPU resources that can be

consumed by a zone.

Control the allocation of available CPU resources

among zones, based on their importance.

Limit the amount of physical memory.

60

System Resource Allocation Management to a Zone System resource allocation to a zone can be controlled

by:

Resource pools: Used primarily to manage CPU

usage

Resource capping: Used to regulate physical

memory consumption

Process scheduling: Used to control the allocation of

available CPU resources to processes

61

Network Resource Control

Set bandwidth limit on a

VNIC (virtual link speed)

QoS integrated in the core

stack, no separate

component to configure

Constrain the CPUs used

by VNICs or data links by

CPU ids or pool names

Integrated with Solaris

resource management

and zones

# dladm create-vnic -l net0 \ -p maxbw=100M vnic0

62

Controlling and Observing Flows Bandwidth limits can be

applied to traffic flows

specified by the

administrator; this includes

datalinks in non-global zones

Flows are managed by flowadm(1M) and specified

by source and destination IP

addresses, protocol, port

number, etc.

Flows can be observed in

real time with flowstat(1M), or a history

can be obtained using

extended accounting.

63

Highly Available VNICs

Link Aggregation provides

transparent failover and

increased throughput to

VNICs and zones.

Compliant with IEEE 802.3ad

IP Multipathing (IPMP) can

also be used but needs to be

configured from within zones.

Virtual Networks and Oracle Solaris Zones Weaknesses A lot has changed on the network side (specifically the

networking commands), which requires customers to

change how they have done things for years.

Customers do not understand the advantages of virtual

networking. They see the technology as disruptive.

Customers can easily overload a server if the amount of

total traffic on all virtual networks exceeds the physical

capabilities of the NICs.

Customers are not clear as to the differences between

each of the virtualization technologies and which

technology is better suited to address their specific issues.

Oracle Solaris Security Overview

Security is managing risk

Security is a very high priority in Oracle Solaris 11.

Oracle Solaris security technologies protect data,

applications, users, and the OS from external and

internal threats.

Oracle Solaris is developed using the Oracle Software

Security Assurance process.

73

Oracle Solaris Security: Data Protection ZFS protects data with:

Data redundancy with mirrored and RAID-Z storage pool configurations

Self-healing data in redundant storage pool

configurations

Data encryption

Access control lists (ACLs)

Per-zone encryption key for each label of every user's home

directory

New command, tncfg(1M), to create, modify and display

configuration of networking properties related to Trusted

Extensions

Security labels on ZFS datasets

80

Oracle Solaris Security Strengths and Weaknesses Strengths

Provides an assured system because security is integrated, not bolted on

Protects data at rest and in motion with discretionary and mandatory

access control, data encryption, and integrity protection

Contains applications and users by using zones, privileges, and role-

based access control

Reduces risk of insider attacks using role-based access control and

process rights management

Reduces risk of outsider attacks with authentication services and

network service protection

Assists in compliance with auditing and logging

Provides mandatory access control with Trusted Extensions

Weakness: Security features must be configured locally (or via AI).
