System Administration Guide: Naming and Directory Services
(NIS+)
Starting with the Solaris 10 8/07 release, the Solaris OS does not have two separate hosts les.
The /etc/inet/hosts le is now a single hosts le that contains both IPv4 and IPv6 entries.
You need not maintain IPv4 entries in two hosts les that always require synchronization. For
backward compatibility, the /etc/inet/ipnodes le is replaced with a symbolic link of the
same name to the /etc/inet/hosts le. For more information, see the hosts(4) man page. NIS
clients and servers can communicate using either IPv4 or IPv6 RPC transports.
Discontinuation of Swedish Documentation
Starting with the Solaris 10 8/07 release, documents will not be translated into Swedish. For all
the latest information, see the English documents on
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/
indexes/documentation/index.html
.
Application Server Documentation Refers to Derby Database
Instead of Java DB
Application Server documentation refers to the Java DB database as “Derby.” Replace all
references to “Derby” with Java DB. The database is installed to /usr/appserver/javadb.
Documents on the Software Supplement CD
Beginning with Solaris 10 Operating System, the Supplement CD no longer exists. The
documents that were formerly supplied on the Supplement CD can now be found at
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/indexes/documentation/index.html. The rest of the
CD's contents reside elsewhere in the Solaris kit or on Sun Microsystems' web site.
