It is the first SVR4 release to support all SPARC platforms and the first to be the default operating environment on Sun's high volume desktop platforms. The new SPARCclassic and SPARCstation LX systems and ALL SuperSPARC multiprocessor configurations will, in fact, ONLY run Solaris 2.1. Solaris 2.1 is now the hub of Sun's distributed computing strategy. It contains important new functionality and significant quality and performance enhancements over Solaris 2.0, making it the most robust and complete SVR4 based operating environment in the industry.

Solaris 2.1 is NOT preinstalled on the disk. * SPARCserver 600MP Series machines are NOT preinstalled with anything. * The SPARCstation 10 will have BOTH Solaris 1.1 and JumpStart on the disk THROUGH THE END OF DECEMBER to give customers maximum flexibility. Starting in January, these systems will ONLY have JumpStart. End User Documentation ---------------------- all SPARCstation 10, SPARCclassic, SPARCstation LX and SPARCserver 600MP Series hardcopy owners must order end user set included set separately SPARCstation ELC, docs included docs included SPARCstation IPX, SPARCstation IPC, SPARCstation 2 Hardware Support ---------------- Specifically, Solaris 2.1 supports: Sun-4c architecture SPARCstations 1, 1+, 2, IPC IPX, SLC and ELC Sun-4m architecture SPARCclassic, SPARCstation LX, SPARCstation 10, SPARCstation 600MP Series Sun-4(TM) architecture Sun-4/100s, -4/200s, -4/300s and -4/400s Sun4e architecture SPARCengine(TM) board What's New in Solaris --------------------- Sun is "cutting over" to Solaris 2.1 as the default operating environment. Preinstalled systems will feature JumpStart software, a new SunSoft value-added enhancement. JumpStart software enables administrators to define and automatically install a customized environment (both system software and application software) perfectly suited to each user's predetermined profile. Future releases of Solaris can be installed automatically with very little involvement from the system administrator. The reduced time, expertise and effort required to install or upgrade software environments benefits users and system administrators. Also new in Solaris 2.1 are several Administration Tool components. The Administration Tool is a GUI-based tool that automates many tasks that previously took a great deal of time and effort of system administrators. The tool has four components: Printer Manager helps setup and administer printers on the network; User Account manager helps create a logon and a home directory (complete with NIS+ credentials and statup files); Host Manager installs and net configures diskless and dataless clients and net configures standalone clients, allowing the administrator to bypass the installation screens; Database Manager is an interface to the NIS+ databases, allowing the administrator to manage all entries in the databases. Solaris 2.1 adds the XGL(TM) 3.0 Graphics Library runtime environment as the foundation library for all graphics applications. Solaris 2.1 also supports the Open Graphics initiative, a set of open, standard graphics interfaces, allowing third party graphics drivers to be easily integrated into customers' environments. Solaris 2.1 marks the first release from Sun that provides symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) support (all current SPARCserver 600MP Series and SPARCstation 10 multiprocessor configurations). SMP increases system throughput and allows customers to take full advantage of their hardware. ALL current and future SuperSPARC multiprocessor configurations REQUIRE Solaris 2.1 or a later release. Full support for the SPARCcenter(TM) 2000 Series is contained in a future release of Solaris 2.x. Localized versions of Solaris 2.1 will also be available (see Availability section below for dates), providing a user environment that is completely internationalized and localized in eight different languages: German, French, Swedish, Italian, Taiwan Chinese, PRC Chinese, Japanese and Korean. Internationalization facilities in Solaris 2.1 also facilitate the internationalization and localization of customers' existing and new applications. NOTE: The features listed above are all new to Solaris, above and beyond the features already in Solaris 2.0. For a list of those features, please refer SunFlash 43.06, "Solaris 2.0" Performance ----------- Solaris 2.1 exhibits significant performance improvements over Solaris 2.0! In uniprocessor configurations, Solaris 2.1 provides superior CPU performance and equivalent interactive performance to Solaris 1.x, positioning Solaris 2.1 as the ideal desktop environment for the vast majority of applications. In multiprocessor configurations, Solaris 2.1 provides outstanding performance and scaling for CPU-intensive applications and approximately equivalent performance in other areas (averaging performance over the suite of benchmarks - CPU, I/O, database, timesharing, networking, interactive). Therefore, Solaris 2.1 is very well positioned for compute-intensive applications that can harness the power of Sun's multiprocessor hardware. In subsequent releases of Solaris 2.x, Sun will incorporate performance enhancements that will provide superior performance throughout the operating environment and not just at the CPU and interactive levels. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- FEATURES BENEFITS -------------------------------------------------------------------------- SVR4 Application Binary Interface Provides source compatibility and portability across architectures and binary compatibility within an architecture DDI/DKI Device Driver Interface (DDI) provides binary and source compatibilty of drivers in successive Solaris releases; Device Kernel Interface (DKI) provides source compatibility among different SVR4 implementations JumpStart utility - NEW! Allows for fully automated, customized installation of system and application software Administration Tool - NEW tools! GUI-based tools for setup and easy administration of printers, user accounts, hosts and NIS+ databases Multithreaded Kernel and Symmetric Increases system throughput and Multiprocessing (SMP) builds foundation for future multi- threaded applications ToolTalk(TM) software Provides networked interapplication messaging Fixed Priority Scheduler Enables running realtime applications with guaranteed response time Internationalization Facilities Enables porting and development of existing and new applications that are fully internationalized and localized Localized Versions - NEW! End user environment is completely localized in German, French, Swedish, Italian, Chinese (Taiwan and PRC), Japanese and Korean HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE CONSIDERATIONS ------------------------------------ Configuration requirements: -------------------------- Memory 16 MB minimum Disk 200 MB NOTE: The requirements are for the full end user cluster including the OpenWindows(TM) environment. Platform Support: ---------------- Sun-4c architecture SPARCstations 1, 1+, 2, IPC, IPX, SLC and ELC Sun-4m architecture SPARCclassic, SPARCstation 10* and SPARCserver 600MP Series* Sun-4 architecture Sun-4/100s, -4/200s, -4/300s and -4/400s Sun-4e architecture SPARCengine 1e board NOTE: The SPARCcenter 2000 Series requires a future release of Solaris 2.x. It is not supported by Solaris 2.1. The following products REQUIRE Solaris 2.1: SPARCclassic systems SPARCstation LX systems SPARCstation 10 multiprocessor configurations SPARCstation 600MP SuperSPARC multiprocessor configurations * The following table lists specifically which configurations of the SPARCstation 10 and SPARCserver 600MP Series are supported: Model SPARCserver 600MP SPARCstation 10 ----- ----------------- -------------- 30 N/A 1 SuperSPARC CPU 41 1 SuperSPARC CPU (1 SM41) or 1 SuperSPARC CPU (1 SM41) or upgrade to upgrade to 2 SuperSPARC CPUs (2 SM41s) 2 SuperSPARC CPUs (2 SM41s) 120 2 SPARC CPUs (1 SM100) N/A 140 4 SPARC CPUs (2 SM100s) N/A Hardware and Documentation Transition Issues: -------------------------------------------- On December 7th, SPARCclassic and SPARCstation LX systems will begin shipping with JumpStart software on the internal disk. THE FULL SOLARIS 2.1 IMAGE WILL NOT BE PREINSTALLED ON THESE SYSTEMS. JumpStart software allows the customer to automatically install a fully customized Solaris 2.1 operating environment on the target system. The software is installed from either a local CD-ROM, CD-ROM on the network, or from a software server on the network. Therefore, customers with SPARCclassic systems and/or SPARCstation LX systems must order at least one Solaris 2.1 CD-ROM to install Solaris 2.1 on their systems. (However, you do not need a 1-to-1 CD-to-workstation ratio. You just need access to one CD.) PLEASE REFER TO THE JUMPSTART CARD IN THE COUNTRY KIT FOR INSTRUCTIONS ON USING JUMPSTART. The SPARCstation 10 (Models 30 and 41 single CPU) will have BOTH JumpStart functionality AND Solaris 1.1 preinstalled on diskfull systems. Therefore, customers who order a SPARCstation 10 prior to December 6 and want to run Solaris 1.1 will be "Solaris 2.1 ready." They will have the option of running Solaris 1.1 (aleady on the disk) or Solaris 2.1 (installed using JumpStart). After December 7, if a customer wants to run Solaris 1.1 on their SPARCstation 10, they MUST have access to the Solaris 1.1 CD-ROM separately. If they want to run Solaris 2.1, they must also have access to the Solaris 2.1 CD-ROM. PLEASE REFER TO THE "INSTALLATION FOR EVERYONE" MANUAL FOR INSTRUCTIONS. Hardcopy format of the Owner's doc set will no longer be bundled with the Country Kits. However, hardcopy of the Owner's doc set can still be ordered standalone for $100 -- it is now called the End User Documentation Set. The software portion of the Install manual is in Answerbook(TM). The hardware portion of the install manual and the hardware product notes are part of the System Accessory Kit. The Country Kit will now consist of the System Accessory Kit only. Starting 12/7/92, when you order a SPARCstation 10, SPARCstation LC, SPARCstation LX, or SPARCserver 600MP series Country Kit or buy a standalone System Accessory Kit, you will get the following: * Type 5 keyboard * Mouse * SunMicrophone * Power Cords * Hardware Manual * Hardware Product Notes * Jumpstart Card * On-line Documentation Note * Type 5 Keyboard Product Notes * Type 5 Keyboard Layout Card * Mouse Labels * Customer Card * Ergonomics Card SPARCstation ELC, SPARCstation IPC, SPARCstation IPX, and SPARCstation 2 Country Kits will remain the same. They will still ship with Hardcopy Owner's doc set. They will also continue to ship with Solaris 1.1 preinstalled as long as they are on the price list. To run Solaris 2.1 on these systems, the customer must order it separately.

What are the differences between Solaris 2.0 and Solaris 2.1? A. Solaris 2.1 includes all the functionality in Solaris 2.0 PLUS additional platform support (outlined above), JumpStart software, the Administration Tool, the XGL 3.0 Graphics Library runtime environment, bugfixes and performance tuning. Q. Why doesn't Solaris 2.1 support the SPARCcenter 2000 Series? A. The SPARCcenter 2000 Series has a target availability of April 1993; therefore, it will not FCS with Solaris 2.1. All bugfixing and performance tuning for SPARCcenter 2000 Series support is centered on the Solaris release that will run on that platform. Q. What third party applications will be available on Solaris 2.1? A. Independent software vendors (ISVs) will announce the availability of approximately 100 applications at the Solaris 2.1 introduction. An additional 250 are expected to ship on Solaris 2.1 by the end of the third fiscal quarter. These applications are listed in the Catalyst catalog "A Guide to More Than 350 Software Applications, Summer `92" (literature distribution part no. 801-2879-01). Q. What Sun unbundled applications will be available on Solaris 2.1? A. See list above. Q. Now that Solaris 2.1 is the default OS, how long will Sun continue to ship Solaris 1.1? A. Solaris 1.1 remains the default operating environment on all currently shipping Sun-4c platforms (SPARCstation ELC, SPARCstation IPC, SPARCstation IPX, and SPARCstation 2) and we will continue to preinstall these systems with Solaris 1.1 as long as they are on the SMCC price list. Several of the Sun-4c platforms will continue to ship at least through the end of fiscal year 1993; hence, there are no plans to announce the end of Solaris 1.1 prior to the end of the fiscal year and probably not before the end of calendar year 1993. Once Solaris 1.1 is transitioned off the price list, Sun will support it for five years, with support diminishing over the five year period. Q. How well does Solaris 2.1 perform compared to Solaris 1.x? A. In uniprocessor configurations, Solaris 2.1 performance is excellent compared to Solaris 1.x performance. CPU performance is superior to that of Solaris 1.x and interactive and I/O performance is equivalent. Database and networking performance exhibit degradation of approximately 10-15% and timesharing degrades by about 26%. In multiprocessor configurations, CPU and NFS performance and scaling are better than that of Solaris 1.x. I/O, multiuser and database performance exhibit some degradation. Therefore, Solaris 2.1 is best suited primarily for CPU-intensive applications. Q. What are Sun's plans for performance improvements in future releases? A. Performance has improved significantly over Solaris 2.0. The next Solaris release, scheduled for the first half of calendar year 1993, will incorporate significant improvements in performance beyond that of Solaris 2.1, particularly in multiprocessor configurations. I/O, database and multiuser performance, in particular, will exhibit significant increases in performance and scalability. Q. When will the Solaris for x86 platforms be available? A. The Solaris for x86 Early Access Program for ISVs began in September, 1992. The Solaris for x86 End User Release is expected to be released in the first half of calendar year 1993. Q. What about C2 security? A. Solaris 2.1 provides hooks for an UNBUNDLED C2 Security product. the C2 features will be bundled into a future release of Solaris 2.x. Q. Will contract customers receive Solaris 2.1 automatically? A. Yes. Solaris 2.1 will by "pushed" to all contract customers.
