End of Features (EOF) Planned for Future Releases of Oracle Solaris

Back to all Notices

• Drivers 

  The following drivers and their associated man pages will be removed in a future release.

  hme	SUNW, hme Fast-Ethernet device driver
  eri	eri Fast-Ethernet device driver
  qfe	SUNW, qfe Quad Fast-Ethernet device driver
  dmfe	Davicom Fast Ethernet driver for Davicom DM9102A
  hxge	Sun Blade 10 Gigabit Ethernet network driver

  
   
• slocate 

  The slocate utility will be removed in a future release. The slocate utility provides a secure way to index and quickly search files on your system. Alternately, you can use the mlocate utility.

  
   
• -m Option in the zoneadm clone Command 

  The -m option will be removed from the zoneadm clone command in a future release. After the -m option is removed, when cloning a zone, the zoneadm clone displays the following default behavior:

  • If the cloned zone and the source zone are present in the same zpool, ZFS snapshot and clone operations are used.

  • If the cloned zone and the source zone are present in the different zpools, ZFS send and receive operations are used.

   

  
   
• /etc/format.dat File 

  The /etc/format.dat file, which is the default data file for the format command, will be removed in a future release. The format command will not support the following parameters:

  • -x, -p, and -t options

  • save subcommand

  • FORMAT_PATH environment variable

    Note: Starting with the Solaris 2.3 release, the format command configures disk drives automatically. Therefore, the /etc/format.dat file is not required. For information, see the format(1M) man page.

  
   
• /usr/bin/symorder Command 

  The symorder command will be removed in a future release. The symorder command is used in Oracle's SunOS 4.x to cut down the overhead of getting symbols from vmunix. Alternately, use the ksyms command to view the kernel symbols. For more information, see the ksyms(7D) man page.

  
   
• mailcompat Command 

  The mailcompat program will be removed in a future release. This program is used to provide SunOS 4.x compatability for the Solaris mailbox format.

  
   
• -s and -i Options in the dladm show-bridge Command 

  The -s and -i options that are used to view the statistics information of the bridges will be removed from the dladm show-bridge command. Alternately, you can use the dlstat show-bridge command.

  The dlstat show-bridge command will be available in a future Oracle Solaris release.

  
   
• Perl 5.8.4 

  Perl 5.8.4 version will not be available in a future release. Therefore, if you are referencing version 5.8.4 in any of your Perl scripts, you must use a more recent version of Perl.

  Note: By default, Oracle Solaris 11 is shipped with Perl 5.12.

  
   
• /usr/ucb 

  The /usr/ucb directory will be removed in a future release. Therefore, any of your scripts or programs that use the commands in the /usr/ucb directory, must be updated. To update your scripts or programs, consider the following tips:

  • Many of the commands in the /usr/ucb directory are links to the commands in the /usr/bin directory. Replace the /usr/ucb commands with the target binaries that the links currently point to.

  • Some of the commands in the /usr/ucb directory have alternate implementations in the /usr/bin, usr/gnu/bin, and /usr/sbin directories. Use the alternate implementations.

    Note: Usually, the alternate implementations and the commands in the /usr/ucb directory have the same basename. Read the man pages of the alternate implementations to ensure that the required functionality is present.

  • Some of the alternate implementations do not have the same basename. Consider the following alternatives:

    • For the /usr/ucb/fastboot and /usr/ucb/halt commands, use the init(1M), shutdown(1M), or reboot(1M) commands.

    • For the /usr/ucb/vipw command, use the useradd(1M) or the userdel(1M) command based on your requirement.

  • Use the /usr/bin/ps command instead of the /usr/ucb/ps command.

    Note: For the ps command, you can invoke the BSD behavior by not using a leading hyphen (-) with any of the options. For more information, see the ps(1) man page.

  • Some of the /usr/ucb commands, such as biff, from, mkstr, rusage, and whereis do not have an equivalent functionality in Oracle Solaris.

  • A new link for the Mail command will be available in the /usr/bin directory in a future release. The /usr/bin/Mail link will point to the /usr/bin/mailx command. The BSD behavior of the /usr/bin/Mail command is still available. For more information, see the mailx(1) man page.

  End of Features (EOF) for the Oracle Solaris 11.1 Release

  
  This section lists features that are no longer available in the Oracle Solaris 11.1 release.
  
  
  
  • tavor HCA Driver 

    The tavor driver that supports older InfiniBand HCAs (Host Channel Adapters) will be removed and not supported. No functionality for InfiniBand on these HCAs will be supported in the future, including firmware upgrade by using the fwflash utility.

    Note: The tavor driver supports older InfiniBand HCAs such as:

    • Mellanox InfiniHost-based for PCIx (Peripheral Component Interconnect Extended)

    • Mellanox InfiniHost III Ex with onboard memory for PCIe (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express)

     

    
     
  • Adobe Flash Player 

    Adobe Flash Player will be removed.

  This section lists features that are no longer available in the Oracle Solaris 11 release.
  
  
  
  

  Commands:

  
  
  • crypt(1) 
    The crypt(1) command is not supported. Instead, use the encrypt(1) command to protect your files. The encrypt(1) command provides access to newer and more secure algorithms. Starting from Oracle Solaris 10, the encrypt(1) command is available.
    
     
  • des(1) 
    The des(1) command is not supported. Instead, use the encrypt(1) command, which provides access to newer and more secure algorithms.
    
     
  • pmconfig(1M) 

    The pmconfig(1M) utility used for power management has been removed. Instead use the poweradm(1M) command.

    Note: The ability to configure power management settings through the /etc/power.conf file in addition to the pmconfig(1M) command, has been removed. Configuration has been moved into the SMF configuration repository.

    
     
  • sysidtool(1M) 
    The sysidtool(1M) suite of programs used for configuring the Oracle Solaris OS has been removed. Instead, use the Service Management Facility smf(5) for managing configurations.
    
     
  • bsmconv(1M) and bsmunconv(1M) 
    The bsmconv(1M) and bsmunconv(1M) commands used to enable/disable auditing and device allocation, have been removed. To configure auditing functionality on Oracle Solaris 11, use audit(1M). To configure device allocation on Oracle Solaris 11, enable/disable the svc:/system/device/allocate service with no reboot required. For more information, see device_allocate(1M).
    
     
  • passmgmt(1) 

    The passmgmt(1) command has been removed. Administrators may use the following commands, which provide the same functionality:

    • useradd(1M)

    • userdel(1M)

    • usermod(1M)

    • roleadd(1M)

    • roledel(1M)

    • rolemod(1M)

    
     
  • rstart(1) and rstartd(1) 
    The rstart(1) and rstartd(1) commands that allow remote execution have been removed. To start a X Window System program on another machine, use the X11 forwarding feature of the ssh(1) command.
    
     
  • smdiskless(1) and smoservice(1M) 
    The smdiskless(1) and smoservice(1M) commands to manage diskless client support for a server have been removed.
    
     
  • wificonfig(1M) 
    The wificonfig(1M) command to administer wireless networking configuration has been removed. Wireless networking configuration may be administered using the dladm(1M) and ipadm(1M) commands.
    
     
  • rdist(1) 
    The rdist(1) command for remote file distribution has been removed. Instead, use either rsync(1) or scp(1) for remote file transfer.
    
     
  • graph(1) and spline(1) 

    The graph(1) and spline(1) commands for data graphing have been removed. Developers or administrators wishing to consider other alternatives can look at gnuplot(1) by installing the image/gnuplot package.

    
     
  • -x and -C options in the vi(1), ex(1) and ed(1) commands 

    The -x and -C options have been removed from the vi(1), ex(1) and ed(1) commands. Use the encrypt(1) command to access newer and more secure algorithms.

    Note: The vim(1) command also has a -x option, though it is incompatible with the old cryptographic algorithm used in the vi(1), ex(1), and ed(1) commands. If you already have files encrypted by using this feature, decrypt them by using an Oracle Solaris 10 machine or an Oracle Solaris 10 Zone.

    
     
  • -s and -i options in the dladm show-{link|aggr} subcommands 

    The options -s and -i have been removed from the dladm show-link and the dladm show-aggr subcommands. Use the dlstat show-link and dlstat show-aggr subcommands to display the statistics information about links or aggregations.

    
     
  • -y and -z options in the sort command 

    The -y and -z options have been removed for the /usr/bin/sort command. These two options have been obsolete since Solaris 8 but are removed from Oracle Solaris 11 onwards.

    Note: The /usr/xpg4/bin/sort command still has the -y and -z options for standards compatibility. However, using these options will not have any effect.

    
    

    Functionality:

    
     
  • 32-bit Kernel 
    Support for the 32–bit only x86 hardware has been removed. Support for running 32-bit applications and libraries will continue.
    
     
  • End of Support for Legacy Hardware 

    Support for legacy systems that have included the UltraSPARC I, II, IIe, III, IIIi, III+, IV and IV+ processor architectures (as reported by the Solaris 'psrinfo -pv' command) has been removed. All Oracle SPARC Enterprise M-Series Servers and Oracle SPARC T-Series Servers will continue to be supported.

    Note: Oracle Solaris 10 will continue to be a supported operating system for these affected platforms as per the current Oracle lifetime support policy.

    
     
  • xVM Hypervisor 
    xVM hypervisor, the Oracle Solaris Xen-based hypervisor for x86 systems, has been removed.  Oracle offers two x86-based hypervisor solutions for Oracle Solaris users: Oracle VM Server for x86 and Oracle VM VirtualBox.  See http://www.oracle.com/virtualization
    
     
  • 32-bit x86: X Servers and Graphic Drivers 

    32–bit versions of the Xorg, Xephyr, Xvfb, Xdmx, and Xvnc X servers have been removed.

    ---

    Any Xorg loadable module (including video drivers, input device drivers, and extensions) that is not provided in a 64–bit version cannot be used in such a release. When a usable video driver is not found, Xorg will generally fall back to the vesa driver.

    The following 32-bit x86 video drivers are affected:

    apm	Alliance Promotion
    ark	Ark Logic

    Oracle Solaris Containers for Linux applications has been removed. Users who want to run Linux applications in a virtual environment should consider either Oracle VM Server for x86 or Oracle VM VirtualBox. See http://www.oracle.com/us/technologies/virtualization/oraclevm/index.html
    
     
  • TOR 

    TOR, software that helps users and groups to improve privacy and security in online networks, has been removed. TOR can be downloaded independently from https://www.torproject.org

    
     
  • Remote Share Memory API (RSM API) 

    The Remote Share Memory API (RSM API) has been removed. The reason for removal is that the hardware (SunFire Link and Dolphin SCI) that RSM API was designed to support are no longer supported.

    
     
  • SunOS 4 Binaries  

    Support for the SunOS 4 binaries has been removed. However, the SunOS 4 binaries can still be executed in an Oracle Solaris 10 Zone.

    
     
  • OpenWindows Libraries 

    The OpenWindows libraries have been removed. Applications that use OpenWindows toolkits such as XView and OpenLook Intrinsic Toolkit (OLIT) no longer run. However, if required, the applications that use OpenWindows Libraries can be run in Oracle Solaris 10 Zones.

    
     
  • libmle 

    libmle, the multi-lingual environment library used in several input method framework and language engines, has been removed.

    
     
  • ICU 2.1 and 3.2 
    The ICU (International Components for Unicode) v2 and v3 libraries have been removed. Developers are encouraged to migrate their software to ICU v4.
    
     
  • LP print service 
    The LP print service has been removed. CUPS is the replacement print service in Oracle Solaris 11.
    
     
  • IP forwarding SMF services 
    The following IP forwarding SMF services used for system-wide forwarding management are not supported:

    • svc:/network/ipv4-forwarding:default
    • svc:/network/ipv6-forwarding:default

    Use the ipadm(1m) command or the routeadm(1m) command to configure a system-wide forwarding.
    
     
  • /etc/hostname.<interface> files 

    The /etc/hostname.<interface> files are no longer supported interfaces for storing persistent network configurations. Use the ipadm(1m) and dladm(1m) commands to configure the IP interfaces persistently.

    
     
  • NISPlus 

    The NIS+ directory service has been removed.

    
     
  • Sun OpenGL software for the SPARC platform 

    The Sun OpenGL software for the SPARC platform has been removed. Similar functionality can be provided via the Mesa implementation of libGL, or the Nvidia OpenGL provided for the Nvidia graphics devices on the x64 platform.

    
     
  • Trusted Extensions - IPv6 CIPSO 

    The Commercial Internet Protocol Security Option (CIPSO), defined in FIPS PUB 188, is a standard for IPv4. Oracle Solaris Trusted Extensions has a proprietary IPv6 implementation of CIPSO because no CIPSO equivalent standards existed for IPv6 when Solaris Trusted Extensions was shipped. Now IETF has produced a CIPSO equivalent standard for IPv6, namely Common Architecture Label IPv6 Security Option (CALIPSO) or RFC 5570. Oracle may replace its IPv6 CIPSO implementation with support for the IETF CALIPSO standard in future.

    Note: Support for the current CIPSO IPv4 will not be affected. CIPSO and CALIPSO are used by Trusted Extensions only.

    
     
  • SYSV3 SCO Compatibility Environment Variable 

    Support for the SYSV3 SCO compatibility environment variable has been removed. The following commands might be affected:

    • df

    • echo

    • expr

    • sh

    • tar

    • uname

    
     
  • Boot Support in SVM 
    The functionality to boot from a Solaris Volume Manager (SVM) metadevice has been removed.
    
     
  • GNOME On-Screen Keyboard 
    The GNOME On-Screen Keyboard (GOK) has been removed as it is no longer maintained in the upstream GNOME community. Replacement functionality may be provided in a future release.
    
     
  • Power Management Interfaces 
    Support for the following power management interfaces has been removed.

    • ddi_power
    • ddi_dev_is_needed
    • pm_create_components
    • pm_destroy_components
    • pm_set_normal_power
    • DDI_PM_SUSPEND
    • DDI_PM_RESUME

    Drivers using these interfaces will fail to load with Oracle Solaris 11. For more information about the proper usage of power management device drivers, see Chapter 12, “Power Management,” in Writing Device Drivers. Drivers complying with the features described in this chapter will function properly if compiled for Oracle Solaris 10.

    
     
  • rstchown 

    The kernel tunable parameter rstchown has been removed. The rstchown tunable parameter was set in the /etc/system file and was used to restrict the operations of the chown command.

    However, starting with Oracle Solaris 11, you can use any of the following alternatives on the individual file systems to restrict the operations of the chown command.

    • Use the ZFS rstchown file system property.

    • Set the rstchown mount option when mounting a file system.

    
     
  • 3510 and 3511 Storage Arrays 
    The Sun 3510 and 3511 storage arrays are no longer supported.
    
     
  • Solaris Management Console 
    The Solaris Management Console (SMC) has been removed. Instead, you can use command-line utilities such as useradd(1M), roleadd(1M), profiles(1), tncfg(1M), zfs(1M), share(1M) and ipadm(1M).
    
     
  • Hamster 
    Hamster has been removed. Hamster is a time tracking applet.
    
     
  • ASET 
    The Automated Security Enhancement Tool (ASET) functionality provided by aset(5) in /usr/aset is removed. However, from Solaris 10 onwards, an advanced version of the checksum functionality of ASET is provided by bart(1).
    
     
  • Codeina 

    Codeina, a utility to assist users to install media codec plugins to play certain media formats, has been removed. Users can continue to get media codec plugins directly from the Fluendo website at http://www.fluendo.com.

    
     
  • Apache httpd 1.3 

    Apache httpd version 1.3 has been removed. You must migrate to Apache httpd version 2.2 which provides the same functionality.

    
     
  • MySQL 5.0 
    MySQL 5.0 database has been removed from the Oracle Solaris 11 software package repository in line with existing lifecycle policies for the database. Users must migrate to version 5.1 for equivalent functionality.
    
     
  • PostgreSQL 
    PostgreSQL 8.2, 8.3 and 8.4 has been removed from the Oracle Solaris 11 software package repository. Users can continue to get this object-relational database management system directly from the PostgreSQL website at http://www.postgresql.org/
    
    

    Localization:

    
     
  • SCIM 
    Support for the Smart Common Input Method (SCIM) has been removed. Instead, use the iBus input method.
    
     
  • Short Form Locales 

    The following table lists locales that have been removed in this Oracle Solaris release. The table also lists the corresponding locales that provide the same locale data and that must be used instead.
