What is OpenIndiana?
• A new operating system
• A continuation of OpenSolaris

Current Status

Current Status• Constructed from the components Sun/
Oracle have made available
• Most of this is open, but some bits closed (eg devpro/libm)
• Some bits old/out of date or do not build
• For these, we have have included the last binary release (snv_134)
• Will replace these over time

Is OpenIndiana a fork?
• More of a spork! (Thanks El Reg)
• Oracle still develop most of Solaris in the open - we use those bits
• We’re replacing the bits we don’t have
• And we’ll be extending and enhancing :-)

Relationship to Illumos
• Oracle has turned off the tap for the kernel + core userland (OS/Net aka ONNV)
• Illumos is a fork of this
• Illumos aims to keep it up to date, and replace all closed code in OS/Net
• Under heavy development - lots of work being done.

Relationship to Illumos
• Our first build does not yet use Illumos
• However we will provide the latest Illumos build via an optional IPS repo for people to test and use within the next few days
• Very soon we will switch to using Illumos completely

Relationship to Illumos
• OpenIndiana is part of the Illumos Foundation
• This will be a non-profit legal entity for projects related to OpenSolaris and Illumos
• As a community we are stronger together than standing alone

Why OpenIndiana?
• Solaris 10 for a long time was made available free for production use
• This included security updates (but not bug fixes or support)
• Lots of people started using it

Why OpenIndiana?
• OpenSolaris was also available free of charge
• No regular security updates, but you kind of got this from the latest /dev build
• Affordable support contracts were available

Why OpenIndiana?
• When times got tight, Sun discontinued free security patches for Solaris 10
• Then soon after Oracle bought Sun, /dev updates stopped to OpenSolaris
• Oh dear - what’s going on here?

Why OpenIndiana
• Oracle then changed Solaris 10 license - no longer free for use in production
• Then they cancelled OpenSolaris in favor of Solaris 11 Express
• The new Solaris support contracts are also rather expensive.

Why OpenIndiana
• So, what if you want to run Solaris in production?
• You have to either pay Oracle...
• ... or use OpenIndiana! Hurrah! :-)

Known Issues!
• Our first release is a bit messy
• We set a release date, and we’ve stuck to it
• There will be bugs. We don’t even know what they are yet!
• So keep an old boot environment around after upgrading :-)

Anything missing?
• xVM Xen Hypervisor (dom0 support)
• Linux branded zones
• When we switch to Illumos some crypto & locales may disappear

Can Oracle shut you down?
• Nope. The source is already out there.
• If Oracle close more source gates, we will continue the development separately.

Questions?
• After the questions we’ll provide details on how to download our latest release
• For now, we’ve got 10 minutes of questions from the audience
