This chapter describes known issues that are related to documentation.
The following translated docs have not been updated in the Solaris 10 5/09 release. The contents of the docs might be different from the corresponding English docs. For the latest release information, please refer to the English version.
The differences between the English version and the current translated version are listed in the following table:
In the Solaris 10 5/09 release, the Solaris patch lists are not documented in the Solaris 10 5/09 Release Notes. The patch lists are documented in Solaris 10 5/09 Patch List.
The title of the procedure to ensure unique MAC addresses is SPARC: How to Ensure That the MAC Address of an Interface Is Unique, in Solaris 10 3/05 ONLY . This procedure applies to all Solaris 10 Update releases and so the title should read as SPARC: How to Ensure That the MAC Address of an Interface Is Unique.
Starting with the Solaris 10 8/07 release, the Solaris OS does not have two separate hosts files. The /etc/inet/hosts file is now a single hosts file that contains both IPv4 and IPv6 entries. You need not maintain IPv4 entries in two hosts files that always require synchronization. For backward compatibility, the /etc/inet/ipnodes file is replaced with a symbolic link of the same name to the /etc/inet/hosts file. For more information, see the hosts(4) man page. NIS clients and servers can communicate using either IPv4 or IPv6 RPC transports.
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://docs.sun.com/.
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.
