How close is Solaris Express build 90 to what will be released as the official Solaris 10 update 6?
We just bought five x4500 servers, but I don't really want to deploy in production with U5. There are a number of features in U6 I'd like to have (zfs allow for better integration with our local identity system, refquota support to minimize user confusion, ZFS boot, ...) On the other hand, I don't really want to let these five servers sit around as insanely expensive and heavy paperweights all summer waiting for U6 to hopefully be released by September. My understanding is that SXCE maintains the same packaging system and jumpstart installation procedure as Solaris 10 (as opposed to OpenSolaris, which is completely different). If SXCE is close enough to what will become Solaris 10U6, I could do my initial development and integration on top of that, and be ready to go into production almost as soon as U6 is released, rather than wait for it to be released and then have to spin my wheels working with it. Would it be feasible to develop a ZFS boot jumpstart configuration with SXCE that would be mostly compatible with U6? Does SXCE have any particular ZFS features above and beyond what will be included in U6 I should be sure to avoid? Any other caveats I would want to take into consideration? Thanks much... -- Paul B.
