Welcome to Oracle Solaris 11.1

The Oracle Solaris 11.1 operating system (OS) is the first update of the latest major Oracle Solaris release, Oracle Solaris 11 11/11. An operating system for the enterprise environment, Oracle Solaris 11.1 is an integral part of Oracle's combined hardware and software portfolio. If you are moving from Oracle Solaris 10 to an Oracle Solaris 11 release, you might have some questions. The purpose of this guide is to provide answers to some of those questions.


Note - This book contains cumulative information for anyone who is transitioning from Oracle Solaris 10 to an Oracle Solaris 11 release. Important information about feature differences between Oracle Solaris 11 and Oracle Solaris 11.1 is also provided, when appropriate. For specific details about transitioning from Oracle Solaris 10 to the Oracle Solaris 11 11/11 release, see Transitioning From Oracle Solaris 10 to Oracle Solaris 11. For more information about a particular feature, refer to the product documentation.


Most Oracle Solaris 10 applications are known to work on Oracle Solaris 11. You can run supported applications as is. Or, you can run applications that rely on features that are excluded from Oracle Solaris 11 in an Oracle Solaris 10 virtual environment. See Chapter 10, Managing Oracle Solaris Releases in a Virtual Environment. To determine the readiness of Oracle Solaris 10 applications to run on an Oracle Solaris 11 release, use the Oracle Solaris 11 compatibility checking tool, which is available at:

Note that this guide does not provide information about every new feature in Oracle Solaris 11, nor does it mention every feature that is excluded from Oracle Solaris 11.
