The Power of DTrace | 2007-03-01 | Sun Microsystems |
| Dynamic Tracing (DTrace) is a debugging tool introduced in the Solaris 10 Operating System to help debug systemic problems that are difficult to diagnose using traditional debugging tools and mechanisms. This tool takes advantage of points of instrumentation in the Solaris OS to present information useful for debugging errors and investigating performance issues in applications running on the Solaris platform.

Porting to the Solaris OS: A Guide for Linux Developers | 2007-01-01 | Sun Microsystems |
| The purpose of this paper is to provide a set of guidelines to help the reader to resolve issues faced during the migration of a Linux-based application to the Solaris10 Operating System. By way of supporting information, the paper also discusses similarities and differences between the two environments in terms of operating system features, architecture, system calls, and application development environments. The paper also provides information on some very useful tools supplied by Sun that can aid the migration effort.

Implementing Solaris Zones With Veritas Cluster Server by Symantec | 2006-07-01 | Symantec |
| With the release of Solaris 10, Sun introduced the concept of local zones. Zones are an isolation mechanism for applications in which an application is started within the confines of a zone. From an application view, the zone appears to be an independent system, where the application gets exclusive use of system resources, including processor and memory, as well as access to specific file systems without risk of stepping on other applications. From an implementation view, a local zone does not instantiate a separate operating system kernel as is done with virtual machines; instead zones operate as resource "Containers." Zones allow the system administrator to isolate an application and manage system resource allocation between applications running in other zones.
