Sun has issued an update for its Solaris 10 operating system. The Solaris 10 5/09 update includes several new components designed to improve the energy efficiency for servers.

A component known as the 'power aware dispatcher' has been added to the update. The tool monitors a systems energy consumption and automatically adjusts power to the CPU.

Starting with this release, the SolarisTM Trusted Extensions packages are installed when the Solaris OS is installed. The ExtraValue directory is no longer present. This directory previously included the Solaris Trusted Extensions packages. The Solaris Trusted Extensions functionality is managed by the service management facility (SMF).

The Solaris 10 5/09 release also includes the following features:

The domain of interpretation (DOI) is configurable.

The NFSv3 protocol supports multilevel mounts.

The name service cache daemon, nscd, can be separately configured per labeled zone. This configuration supports environments where each zone is connected to a subnetwork that runs at the label of the zone, and the subnetwork has its own name server for that label.
