Bits : Funny Demo of ZFS+USB Hubs+FlashMem Sticks, Parallels and Solaris, Tomcat and SMF
posted Tuesday, 2 October 2007
I have a MacBook Pro and recently picked up Parallels. Wednesday through Friday were crazy busy for me and I was unable to spend time putting Solaris 10 on my MacBook Pro like I want to. So here it is the weekend and I am looking at Solaris/Parallels. One of my points of interest is looking at SMF (Solaris Management Facility) and how it works with Tomcat - so I decided to put Solaris on my MacBook Pro (I have Solaris on my Toshiba but I have been wanting to see Parallels in action). I downloaded the iso image for Solaris 10 Update 4 and I was off to the races. I installed Parallels and pointed to the Solaris 10 iso image and bam(!) it brought up the familar Solaris installation process. I bumped into this from Sun Germany which is a fabulous demo of flash memory sticks filling three or four USB hubs and using them as mass storage for a video and using ZFS. Even though I don't understand German, I understood what they were doing with ZFS - very cool and very wild. If you haven't seen this demo it is worth viewing and you can see where they are going with the Thumper. In the next few weeks, if I get some spare time, I will be using the Solaris Management Facility (SFM) to perform lifecycle management on Tomcat and using an SMF templates sent to me by Alan Burlison (big thanks!) and then use Containers to build four or five Tomcat zones each running Tomcat.
