Solaris 11.3 SRU 35 - The Last SRU; Solaris 11.4 Lives!

Solaris 11.3 SRU 35 - The Last SRU; Solaris 11.4 Lives!

The Solaris 11.3 SRU 35 is the final SRU for Solaris 11.3. This SRU seems to have an issue with breaking OpsCenter agents and proxies. There does not seem to be very good reason to upgrade to this SRU, since it does more damage than benefit.

Solaris 11 is officially moved GA [2018-08-25] to 11.4! Oracle released SRU 1 [2018-09-24] and SRU 2 [2018-10-16] in rapid succession. have been released, but OpsCenter is sill broken.

Solaris 11 is now on a monthly SRU train and a yearly minor release train. Each month will be a new SRU. Summer of 2019 will be Solaris 11.5

Conclusions:

The defect appears to be a problem with an OS bundled release of Java. No official release of Ops Center is planned to be released, to correct this problem. OS mitigations and interim patches for OpsCenter leave a bad taste in this author's mouth. Oracle needs to make an official release of OpsCenter or fix Java.
