I have also compiled a list for Sun Cluster updates vs release date;
Sun Cluster 3.0 – initial release
u1 7/01
u2 5/02
u3 12/01
Sun Cluster 3.1 – initial release 5/03
u1 10/03
u2 4/04
u3 9/04
u4 8/05
Sun Cluster 3.2 – initial release
u1 2/08
u2 1/09
u3 11/09
On many occasions while planning for upgrades, or installations, I need to install a certain Solaris update, for example Solaris 10 update 3. When you download Solaris you can download Solaris by release date. It is sometimes difficult to find this mapping.
I have tried my best to compile an accurate mapping as follows;
Solaris 10 – initial release 1/05
u1 1/06
u2 6/06
u3 11/06
u4 8/07
u5 5/08
u6 10/08
u7 5/09
u8 10/09
u9 9/10
u10 8/11
Unix administrators use a lot of fancy prompts for their shells. The prompt for the shell is set by setting the PS1 environment variable. Here is an example prompt that I like to use;
PS1="\$LOGNAME@`uname -n`:\$PWD # "
using the “\” before the $PWD makes it update when you change the working directory. If you don’t use it, PWD will not update. The above will result in a prompt that looks like this;
wfayed@macSmokey.local:/Users/wfayed #
