SunVTS software is delivered on the Solaris Software Supplement CD that is distributed with each Solaris release. The version of SunVTS software listed in the Base SunVTS Software column of TABLE 7-1is distributed on the Solaris Software Supplement CD included in the Solaris release identified on the same line.

Entries in TABLE 7-1that begin with “SunVTS” identify the version of a set of SunVTS packages. Within each SunVTS package set, the SUNWvts and SUNWvtsx packages must be installed.

The Required Replacement Packages column in TABLE 7-1lists the SunVTS package sets that must replace the previously installed SunVTS package set. You must remove the previously installed SunVTS packages before adding the SunVTS replacement packages. The previously installed SunVTS packages must be removed with the same method you installed them. For example, if you used the pkgadd command to install the packages, use the pkgrm command to remove the packages.

If an entry is shown in the Required Overlay Patch column in TABLE 7-1, you must use the patchadd command to install that patch over the SunVTS packages shown in the Base SunVTS Software column. Do not remove the previously installed SunVTS packages before adding the required patch.

4000 specifications

Sun Microsystems, a pivotal player in the computing industry during the late 20th and early 21st centuries, was renowned for its innovative hardware and software solutions. Among its notable offerings were the Sun-6000, Sun-5000, and Sun-4000 series, powerful workstations and servers designed for a range of enterprise-level applications.

The Sun-6000 series, introduced in the early 1990s, marked a significant advancement in computing performance. These systems were built on the SPARC architecture, which facilitated high levels of processing power and multitasking capabilities. One of the main features of the 6000 series was its scalability, allowing organizations to increase their processing power by adding more modules. It also offered robust graphics performance, making it ideal for scientific visualization and complex data analysis.

Next in line was the Sun-5000 series. Launched shortly after the 6000 series, the 5000 line was celebrated for its reliability and ease of management. This series emphasized a balanced architecture, which combined processing capabilities with ample memory and storage options. Key characteristics included support for multiple processors, leading to improved performance for demanding applications. Additionally, the 5000 systems featured advanced input/output capabilities, ensuring fast data transfers—crucial for database applications and web servers.

Finally, the Sun-4000 series targeted businesses seeking affordable yet potent computing solutions. These servers boasted a modular design, allowing for easy upgrades and maintenance. The 4000 series was particularly notable for its support for various operating systems, including SunOS and Solaris. These systems were engineered to handle a range of workloads, from enterprise resource planning to web hosting, while still fitting into a value-driven budget.

Across all three series, Sun Microsystems prioritized compatibility and integration, ensuring that each system offered seamless connectivity with Sun's software solutions and third-party applications. Their commitment to open standards and interoperability set them apart in the competitive landscape of enterprise computing. Additionally, the use of high-quality components lent the systems durability, making them a wise investment for organizations looking to future-proof their IT infrastructure.

In summary, the Sun-6000, 5000, and 4000 series exemplified Sun Microsystems' ethos of innovation and reliability. These powerful systems catered to diverse business needs, setting benchmarks in performance and functionality that continue to influence modern computing.
