Tech Article: How to Migrate Control of System Services from Scripts to the Service Management Facility
Oracle Solaris 11 continues to allow legacy /etc/rc* scripts to start and stop its services.

Suzanne Zorn describes how.

How to Set Up a High-Availability Cluster of x86 Servers with Oracle VM
Kris Bakee and Jeffrey Kiely describe how to create a high-availability cluster by combining a Sun Blade 6000 modular system with three Sun x86 server blades (Oracle VM guests), one Sun x86 rackmount server running Oracle VM Manager, two ZFS Storage Appliance controllers in a cluster configuration, and two top-of-rack network switches connected by an HA interconnect.

How to Migrate to Oracle Solaris 11 with Live Install
This is the quickest way to upgrade your Oracle Solaris 10 system to Oracle Solaris 11. Install a golden copy of Solaris 11 on a different system. Copy that image to an unused disk on your Solaris 10 system. Then reboot your Solaris 10 system as a Solaris 11 system. Solaris 11 uses the configuration from your original Solaris 10 system. Harold Shaw explains how.
