How to configure an IP address in Solaris 11

Oracle made a huge changes in the networking stack with Solaris 11. The use of many network related files have been deprecated in Solaris 11. Below are some of the files which are not used in Solaris 11 for persistent network configuration : /etc/defaultdomain /etc/dhcp.* /etc/hostname.* /etc/hostname.ip*.tun* /etc/nodename /etc/nsswitch.conf Network Configuration Profile Solaris 11 uses profile-based network configuration.

Oracle 11gR2 11.2.0.3 2-node RAC on Windows 2008 on VMware Workstation 9

A while back I put together a very detailed ten step process to create a simple two-node RAC on VMware Workstation using Red Hat Linux 5.5. There were already many blog posts on creating RAC systems, including some using VMware, but partly because I felt that none of them were detailed for someone not already an expert in Linux, and partly because I wanted to learn for myself, I created my own. The Oracle 11gR2 2-node RAC on VMware Workstation has consistently been one of my most popular posts, and so I decided to see how it would work using Windows instead of Linux. Windows is a very popular operating system and the backbone of many IT departments. Although it is often criticized by those who prefer UNIX or Linux, Windows has many powerful features, and in departments where it is already needed to run Exchange or SharePoint, there can be many solid reasons for wanting to use Windows to support Oracle instead of another choice. This ten-part pos
