What features are new in Oracle Solaris 10 10/09?
New features include the following: • Support has been added for zones parallel patching to reduce patching time, a fast patching solution that utilizes the patchadd utility. For releases prior to Oracle Solaris 10 10/09, the patch is delivered in the patch utilities patch, 119254-66 or later revision (SPARC) and 119255-66 or later revision (x86). • For a zone that cannot be halted, as of the Oracle Solaris 10 10/09 release, you can migrate a zone that has not been detached by using the zoneadm attach -F option to force the attach without a validation. The target system must be properly configured to host the zone. An incorrect configuration could result in undefined behavior. Moreover, there is no way to know the state of the files within the zone.
