The document provides an agenda and overview for a workshop on key OpenSolaris 2009.06 technologies including installing OpenSolaris, the IPS package manager, ZFS and Time Slider, and DTrace. It discusses options for installing OpenSolaris natively, in a partition, or in VirtualBox. It also provides demonstrations of the IPS package manager, managing repositories, ZFS features like snapshots and Time Slider, and using DTrace to monitor system calls.

22. Install OpenSolaris 2009.06 in Partition Notes if running Windows:

23. If you have Windows installed, and you set up sufficient space for installing the OpenSolaris 2009.06 operating system, the installation should be straightforward. All versions of the OpenSolaris software for the x86 platform use the GNU Grand Unified Bootloader (GRUB). The OpenSolaris software recognizes Windows and ensures that the Windows partitions remain unchanged during an installation. When the OpenSolaris installation completes, and the system reboots, the GRUB menu displays both the Windows and the OpenSolaris boot entries.

24. Install OpenSolaris 2009.06 in Partition Notes if running Linux:

25. If you have either the Linux or Windows operating systems installed on your system, before installing the OpenSolaris operating system, save a copy of the menu.lst file. You will need to manually update the menu.lst file to add the Linux information after the OpenSolaris installation completes. For instructions on that, please check: http://dlc.sun.com/osol/docs/content/2009.06/getstart/linuxgrub.html#linuxgrubtask

26. Install OpenSolaris 2009.06 in Partition Notes if running Solaris 10:

27. The installer cannot be used to multiboot the OpenSolaris operating system. However, the installer can be used to replace the Solaris 10 1/06 and later releases in an existing multiboot Solaris system.

28. Notes on Extended Partitions: If you have another operating system installed on an extended partition, the existing extended partition is neither changed nor lost during an OpenSolaris installation. Existing extended partitions are not visible during the installation, but the primary fdisk partition in which the extended partition resides is visible. No data in these partitions is lost as a result of the installation. The operating system on an extended partition is not displayed in the GRUB menu.

29. Install OpenSolaris 2009.06 in Partition For more information on how to install OpenSolaris 2009.06 in a multiboot environment, please check:
