So I guess next version/update of Solaris will be released in August of 2011? Solaris 10 8/11 (update 10). Such a long wait, I was hoping to see it earlier. Wanted to play with zfs new features, especially dedupliication. Oh well, will have to wait since I cant move to either open solaris oe solaris express… 
So Sun, ups, I think I should say Oracle released Solaris 10 U7. Here are the few things what I did find whats new:
•System Resources Enhancement
- Support Added for Using ZFS Clones When Cloning a Zone
- zoneadm attach -b Option. You can back out certain patches from update on attach
•System Administration Enhancements
- SMF Services for IPsec. IPsec is now managed by SMF services
•Security Enhancement
- NAT-Traversal for IPsec Key Management Developers
- Stronger Algorithms for IPsec. Three larger Diffie-Hellman integer-modulus groups (2048-bit, 3072-bit, and 4096-bit) as well as SHA2 including sha256, sha384, and sha512? SHA-2 using HMAC.
- SunSSH With OpenSSL PKCS#11 Engine Support
•Device Management Enhancements
- x86: T-State Support for Intel Based Processors
•System Performance Enhancements
- Large Segment Offload Support for Intel PCI Express 10Gb NIC Driver
- Solaris Power Aware Dispatcher and Deep C-State Support
•Developer Tools Enhancements
- SunVTS 7.0 Patch Set 5
- x86: CPU Performance Counter Updates for Intel Processors
- SUNWpatchutils Tool
•Driver Enhancements
- hermon Driver
- iSCSI Target – upgraded and several performance, scalability, interoperability, and reliability improvements.It´s not the COMSTAR target.
- x86: NetXen 10-GigE Device Driver
- Intel ICH10 and Hartwell NIC Support in E1000g Driver
- xge Driver Can Enable Multiple Receive Rings and MSI-X
•Other Enhancements
- New Locale Support for Kazakhstan and Ukraine
- SPARC: Fp-scrubber Daemon
I have solaris 10 and I have test user, I have then direcotry created as events, when I do rm -r events I get the following error:
rm: cannot determine if this is an ancestor of the current working directory events
rm -rf does not even show me anything but directory is not being removed
One of the solutions that I’ve found in my case was to change user to root even though the owner of the diretories or files is test, of try the following comand:
find . -depth -exec rmdir {} \;
Some time ago there used to be UNIX magazine called Sys Admin, it was great and I did like it a lot, had lots of great articles and practical how-to’s, then it just did disapear. I did capture one of those articles which I found quite usefull in creating mysql cluster but also it has great exmple on solris 10 zones nd resource control. Hope its author will not mind, but if he does I can take it down.

Starting up opsware on solaris is not a problem and its done quite easily, now doing this on solaris 10 via smf is not that difficult either, I wish opsware did this out of the box, but still not a big deal. There used to be service called: es.opensolarisblog.org/easySMF where you could construct xml file quite easily for this. I cant find this URL to be working any longer so I wanted to make sure that I put all that stuff out what I have
First you need xml file. This is what I have that I was able to create back when that website was available:
$ cat smf_opsware.xml
<?xml version=”1.0″?>
<!DOCTYPE service_bundle SYSTEM “/usr/share/lib/xml/dtd/service_bundle.dtd.1″>

In the past you had real CPU’s and it was not a problem to determine what exactly you had in your SPARC system, now days with multi core and multi threaded CPU’s its more and more difficult to figure out if you have just one socket (real CPU) or multiple cores or even threads as it is on T2000 series.
Easiest way is to take a look at the following command with -pv options:
# psrinfo -pv
The physical processor has 2 virtual processors (0 16)
UltraSPARC-IV+ (portid 0 impl 0×19 ver 0×22 clock 1500 MHz)
The physical processor has 2 virtual processors (2 18)

# psrinfo -pv

To overide the ALOM password on the system you will need to:
1) Attach console to Serial Management Port
2) Power on the server via the front power button. Once POST has completed, you will need to wait 1 to 2 minutes for a timeout to occur and the system to drop to the “ok>” prompt.
If you do not get the “Please login:” prompt (you will likely see the SC prompt) then you must power the system off remove the battery from the LOM board, wait a minute, and re-install everything).
Below is an example of what you might see on the console:
1. List system services
% svcs
% svcs -av // all services; online & offline
2. List a particular service
% svcs -l nfs/nlockmgr // service info
% svcs -p system/sac // processes associated with the service
