2022: Utility View
On May 2, 2022, it became known that Oracle published a sysdiff utility that simplifies the transfer of old applications from Solaris 10 to Solaris 11.4-based environments. Due to the transition of Solaris 11 to the Image Packaging System (IPS) and the termination of support for SVR4 packages, direct migration of applications with existing dependencies is difficult, despite maintaining binary compatibility, so until now one of the easiest migration options was to launch a separate Solaris 10 sandbox environment inside the system with Solaris 11.4.
The sysdiff utility allows you to allocate application-related files and move them to your Solaris 11.4 environment without wasting resources to maintain a separate sandbox with Solaris 10. Sysdiff analyzes the specified environment with Solaris 10 and generates IPS packages for executable files, libraries, data, configuration files, and other non-operating system components. Prepared IPS packs are originally adapted to run in an environment with Solaris 11.4 and access files used in a Solaris 10 environment. The utility only supports running from Solaris 11.4, so if you want to migrate individual installations from Solaris 10 running on top of the hardware, you must first convert them to solaris 10 sandbox running on Solaris 11.4[1].
