This training is aimed at technical IT managers, IT architects, and system administrators tasked with moving from IBM AIX to the Oracle Solaris operating environment. It assumes you are familiar with IBM AIX, and have limited or no familiarity with Oracle Solaris. Starting point in planning your overall migration plan.
Since both AIX and Oracle Solaris are based on UNIX System V, the transition to Oracle servers running Oracle Solaris 11 is not difficult.
For additional training and related information go the Migrating from IBM AIX to Oracle's SPARC Systems Learning Library.

Protecting the network traffic from security threats, such as packet sniffing, man-in-the-middle attack, packet forgery, is one of the prime concerns in today’s world. The network traffic is secured at IP layer by using IPSec protocol, which provides encryption and authentication. IPSec uses ESP protocol for strong integrity, data authentication, and confidentiality. These protocols use AES algorithm for encryption and SHA1 algorithm for authentication. In this demonstration, you learn how to secure the traffic between two hosts by configuring the ESP protocol with authentication and encryption protection. Then, you use SHA1 with a 160-bit key for authentication protection and AES with a 256-bit key for encryption.

In this practice you work with the CLI commands to perform common software update tasks such as adding, removing, and searching for packages. You also learn how to perform a “dry run” on package installations. This allows you to see the changes that will occur on the system when a package is installed, without actually installing the package.

Network Resource Management is a constant challenge for any IT-enabled industry. Oracle Solaris 11 helps in network provisioning, establishing service-level agreements, billing clients, and diagnoses security problems by setting datalink properties pertaining to network resources. By managing network resources, network administrators can achieve quality of service (QoS) more easily and dynamically. Network administrators can set network bandwidth priorities and regulate network resources to critical applications by setting datalink properties pertaining to these network resources.

This demonstration provides an example of the physical-to-virtual (P2V) method for migrating workloads from a physical machine to a virtual machine using Oracle Solaris Zones technology. During this demonstration, workloads running in the Oracle Solaris 10 physical environment are migrated to an Oracle Solaris 11 zone. The demonstration includes step-by-step walkthroughs of each task associated with the P2V migration.

Network virtualization in Oracle Solaris 11.1 is an OS provisioned mechanism that decouples the virtual network from the underlying physical network. A virtual network, also called an internal network, is therefore a pseudo network that only uses the physical network as an IP backplane. Although a pseudo network, the virtual network offers the same capabilities as that of a physical network and much more, such as hardware independence and scaling. Being an OS supported technique; virtual networks are programmatically created and configured. This scenario-based demonstration illustrates how to use the basic building blocks of network virtualization (such as VNICs, virtual switches, etherstubs, and routing functionality) to consolidate a distributed computing environment. This demonstration is the concluding part of Configuring a Virtual Network in Oracle Solaris 11.1 demonstration.

This interactive simulation presents a graphical representation of the latest generation SPARC Processor cores, with detailed explanations at key points.
Oracle’s SPARC M6-32 server is a highly reliable, easy-to-manage, vertically scalable system with many of the benefits of traditional mainframes—without the associated cost, complexity, or vendor lock-in. In fact, this server delivers a mainframe-class system architecture at open-systems prices. With symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) scalability from one to 32 processors, memory subsystems as large as 32 TB, and high-throughput I/O architectures, the SPARC M6-32 server easily performs the heavy lifting required by consolidated workloads. Furthermore, the server runs the powerful Oracle Solaris 10 and Oracle Solaris 11 operating systems that include leading virtualization technologies. By offering Dynamic Domains, Oracle VM Server for SPARC, dynamic reconfiguration, and Oracle Solaris Zones technology, the SPARC M6-32 server brings sophisticated mainframe-class resource control to an open-systems compute platform.
