Tak a propos mamy nowy update Solka 10 :)
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/server-storage/solar...
The Oracle Solaris 10 8/11 update includes support for new hardware, new features and fixes while preserving full compatibility with over 11,000 third-party products and customer applications.
Oracle Solaris 10 8/11 includes features designed to simplify the transition from UFS-based system disks to Oracle Solaris ZFS. By making sure that all relevant installation capabilities available with UFS are also available with ZFS, Oracle Solaris 8/11 makes an excellent ZFS transition point to take advantage of the ease of management, data integrity, and built-in data services provided by Oracle Solaris ZFS.
Although Oracle Solaris Live Upgrade is an invaluable tool for system maintenance, its implementation on UFS required extra complexity and extra execution time in creating a snapshot of the current environment. Oracle Solaris Live Upgrade on ZFS keeps the core attributes of the UFS based tool - reduce risk and downtime windows - but with the much faster built-in snapshot capability of ZFS, it becomes a tool that is lightweight enough to be used whenever any system software changes are planned, and can substantially reduce the total time required for patching compared to UFS.
For installation, Oracle Solaris 10 8/11 now allows ZFS root-based Flash Archives to be installed via either the text installer or via Oracle Solaris Live Upgrade. Flash Archives are often used for disaster recovery or even standard patch maintenance; they can now be either UFS or ZFS-based.
This release also offers a variety of other ZFS enhancements, including performance enhancements in sequential read and writes.
There are many other improvements in Oracle Solaris 10 8/11- fast reboot for SPARC systems, new and augmented reporting tools, new recovery feature for Solaris Volume Manager (SVM), a notable decrease in Oracle Database start-up times when using large amounts of Oracle Solaris Intimate Shared Memory (ISM), new storage and network device support, and much more.

Oracle Solaris is developed, tested and supported as an integrated component of Oracle's "applications-to-disk" technology stack, which includes continuous major platform testing, in addition to the Oracle Certification Environment, representing over 50,000 test use cases for every Oracle Solaris patch and platform released.
