Introduction
------------
Solaris 2.1 is the second, and most important release in Sun's transition
to SVR4.  It is the first SVR4 release to support all SPARC platforms and
the first to be the default operating environment on Sun's high volume
desktop platforms.  The new SPARCclassic and SPARCstation LX systems and ALL
SuperSPARC multiprocessor configurations will, in fact,  ONLY run Solaris
2.1.  

Solaris 2.1 is now the hub of Sun's distributed computing strategy.
It contains important new functionality and significant quality and
performance enhancements over Solaris 2.0, making it the most robust
and complete SVR4 based operating environment in the industry.

	Sun-4(TM) architecture		Sun-4/100s, -4/200s, -4/300s
					 and -4/400s

	Sun4e architecture		SPARCengine(TM) board


What's New in Solaris
---------------------
Sun is "cutting over" to Solaris 2.1 as the default operating
environment.  Preinstalled systems will feature JumpStart software, a new
SunSoft value-added enhancement.  JumpStart software enables administrators to
define and automatically install a customized environment (both system
software and application software) perfectly suited to each user's
predetermined profile.  Future releases of Solaris can be installed
automatically with very little involvement from the system administrator.
The reduced time, expertise and effort required to install or upgrade
software environments benefits users and system administrators.

Also new in Solaris 2.1 are several Administration Tool components.
The Administration Tool is a GUI-based tool that automates many tasks
that previously took a great deal of time and effort of system
administrators.  The tool has four components:  Printer Manager helps
setup and administer printers on the network; User Account manager
helps create a logon and a home directory (complete with NIS+
credentials and statup files); Host Manager installs and net configures
diskless and dataless clients and net configures standalone clients,
allowing the administrator to bypass the installation screens; Database
Manager is an interface to the NIS+ databases, allowing the
administrator to manage all entries in the databases.

Solaris 2.1 adds the XGL(TM) 3.0 Graphics Library runtime environment as 
the foundation library for all graphics applications.  Solaris 2.1 also
supports the Open Graphics initiative, a set of open, standard graphics
interfaces, allowing third party graphics drivers to be easily
integrated into customers' environments.

Solaris 2.1 marks the first release from Sun that provides symmetric
multiprocessing (SMP) support (all current SPARCserver 600MP Series
and SPARCstation 10 multiprocessor configurations).  SMP increases
system throughput and allows customers to take full advantage of their
hardware.  ALL current and future SuperSPARC multiprocessor configurations
REQUIRE Solaris 2.1 or a later release.  Full support for the SPARCcenter(TM)
2000 Series is contained in a future release of Solaris 2.x.

Localized versions of Solaris 2.1 will also be available (see Availability
section below for dates), providing a user environment that is completely
internationalized and localized in eight different languages:  German,
French, Swedish, Italian, Taiwan Chinese, PRC Chinese, Japanese and Korean.
Internationalization facilities in Solaris 2.1 also facilitate the 
internationalization and localization of customers' existing and new 
applications.

NOTE: The features listed above are all new to Solaris, above and beyond
the features already in Solaris 2.0.  For a list of those features, 
please refer SunFlash 43.06, "Solaris 2.0"

Performance
-----------
Solaris 2.1 exhibits significant performance improvements over Solaris
2.0!  In uniprocessor configurations, Solaris 2.1 provides superior CPU
performance and equivalent interactive performance to Solaris 1.x,
positioning Solaris 2.1 as the ideal desktop environment for the vast
majority of applications.

In multiprocessor configurations, Solaris 2.1 provides outstanding
performance and scaling for CPU-intensive applications and approximately
equivalent performance in other areas (averaging performance over the suite
of benchmarks - CPU, I/O, database, timesharing, networking, interactive).  
Therefore, Solaris 2.1 is very well positioned for compute-intensive 
applications that can harness the power of Sun's multiprocessor hardware.

In subsequent releases of Solaris 2.x, Sun will incorporate performance
enhancements that will provide superior performance throughout the 
operating environment and not just at the CPU and interactive levels.

HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE CONSIDERATIONS
------------------------------------

Configuration requirements:
--------------------------
	Memory		16 MB minimum
	Disk		200 MB

	NOTE: The requirements are for the full end user cluster
	including the OpenWindows(TM) environment.

Platform Support:
----------------
	Sun-4c architecture		SPARCstations 1, 1+, 2, IPC, IPX,
					SLC and ELC

	Sun-4m architecture		SPARCclassic, SPARCstation 10* and
					SPARCserver 600MP Series*

	The following products REQUIRE Solaris 2.1:

		SPARCclassic systems
		SPARCstation LX systems
		SPARCstation 10 multiprocessor configurations
		SPARCstation 600MP SuperSPARC multiprocessor configurations

	* The following table lists specifically which configurations
	  of the SPARCstation 10 and SPARCserver 600MP Series are
	  supported:

	Model	SPARCserver 600MP 		SPARCstation 10
	-----	-----------------		--------------
	 30	N/A				1 SuperSPARC CPU

Hardware and Documentation Transition Issues:
--------------------------------------------
On December 7th, SPARCclassic and SPARCstation LX systems will begin
shipping with JumpStart software on the internal disk.  THE FULL
SOLARIS 2.1 IMAGE WILL NOT BE PREINSTALLED ON THESE SYSTEMS.  JumpStart
software allows the customer to automatically install a fully
customized Solaris 2.1 operating environment on the target system.  The
software is installed from either a local CD-ROM, CD-ROM on the
network, or from a software server on the network.  Therefore,
customers with SPARCclassic systems and/or SPARCstation LX systems must
order at least one Solaris 2.1 CD-ROM to install Solaris 2.1 on their
systems.  (However, you do not need a 1-to-1 CD-to-workstation ratio.
You just need access to one CD.)  PLEASE REFER TO THE JUMPSTART CARD IN
THE COUNTRY KIT FOR INSTRUCTIONS ON USING JUMPSTART.

The SPARCstation 10 (Models 30 and 41 single CPU) will have BOTH JumpStart
functionality AND Solaris 1.1 preinstalled on diskfull systems.
Therefore, customers who order a SPARCstation 10 prior to December 6 and
want to run Solaris 1.1 will be "Solaris 2.1 ready." They will have the
option of running Solaris 1.1 (aleady on the disk) or Solaris 2.1
(installed using JumpStart).  After December 7, if a customer wants to
run Solaris 1.1 on their SPARCstation 10, they MUST have access to the Solaris
1.1 CD-ROM separately.  If they want to run Solaris 2.1, they must also
have access to the Solaris 2.1 CD-ROM.  PLEASE REFER TO THE
"INSTALLATION FOR EVERYONE" MANUAL FOR INSTRUCTIONS.

Hardcopy format of the Owner's doc set will no longer be bundled with
the Country Kits.  However, hardcopy of the Owner's doc set can still
be ordered standalone for $100  -- it is now called the End User 
Documentation Set.  The software portion of the Install
manual is in Answerbook(TM).  The hardware portion of the install manual
and the hardware product notes are part of the System Accessory Kit.
The Country Kit will now consist of the System Accessory Kit only.  
Starting 12/7/92, when you order a SPARCstation 10, SPARCstation LC, 
SPARCstation LX, or SPARCserver 600MP series Country 
Kit or buy a standalone System Accessory Kit, you will get the following:

		* Type 5 keyboard
		* Mouse
		* SunMicrophone
		* Power Cords
		* Hardware Manual
		* Hardware Product Notes
		* Jumpstart Card
		* On-line Documentation Note
		* Type 5 Keyboard Product Notes
		* Type 5 Keyboard Layout Card
		* Mouse Labels
		* Customer Card
		* Ergonomics Card

SPARCstation ELC, SPARCstation IPC, SPARCstation IPX, and SPARCstation
2 Country Kits will remain the same.  They will still ship with
Hardcopy Owner's doc set.  They will also continue to ship with Solaris
1.1 preinstalled as long as they are on the price list.  To run Solaris
2.1 on these systems, the customer must order it separately.

Questions and Answers on Section 1 topics
-----------------------------------------
Q.	What are the differences between Solaris 2.0 and Solaris 2.1?

A.	Solaris 2.1 includes all the functionality in Solaris 2.0 PLUS
	additional platform support (outlined above), JumpStart software, the
	Administration Tool, the XGL 3.0 Graphics Library runtime environment,
	bugfixes and performance tuning.


Q.	Why doesn't Solaris 2.1 support the SPARCcenter 2000 Series?

A.	The SPARCcenter 2000 Series has a target availability of April
	1993; therefore, it will not FCS with Solaris 2.1.  All
	bugfixing and performance tuning for SPARCcenter 2000 Series
	support is centered on the Solaris release that will run on
	that platform.


Q.	What third party applications will be available on Solaris 2.1?

A.	Independent software vendors (ISVs) will announce the availability
	of approximately 100 applications at the Solaris 2.1 introduction.
	An additional 250 are expected to ship on Solaris 2.1 by the end
	of the third fiscal quarter.  These applications are listed in the
	Catalyst catalog "A Guide to More Than 350 Software Applications,
	Summer `92" (literature distribution part no. 801-2879-01).


Q.	What Sun unbundled applications will be available on Solaris 2.1?

A.	See list above.


Q.	Now that Solaris 2.1 is the default OS, how long will Sun
	continue to ship Solaris 1.1?

A.	Solaris 1.1 remains the default operating environment on all
	currently shipping Sun-4c platforms (SPARCstation ELC, 
	SPARCstation IPC, SPARCstation IPX, and SPARCstation 2) and we will 
	continue to preinstall these systems with Solaris 1.1 as long as
	they are on the SMCC price list.  Several of the Sun-4c
	platforms will continue to ship at least through the end of fiscal
	year 1993; hence, there are no plans to announce the end of Solaris
	1.1 prior to the end of the fiscal year and probably not before
	the end of calendar year 1993.  Once Solaris 1.1 is transitioned
	off the price list, Sun will support it for five years, with support
 	diminishing over the five year period.


Q.	How well does Solaris 2.1 perform compared to Solaris 1.x?

A.	In uniprocessor configurations, Solaris 2.1 performance is
	excellent compared to Solaris 1.x performance.  CPU performance
	is superior to that of Solaris 1.x and interactive and I/O 
	performance is equivalent.  Database and networking performance 
	exhibit degradation of approximately 10-15% and timesharing degrades
	by about 26%.

	In multiprocessor configurations, CPU and NFS performance and
	scaling are better than that of Solaris 1.x.  I/O, multiuser
	and database performance exhibit some degradation.  Therefore,
	Solaris 2.1 is best suited primarily for CPU-intensive
	applications.


Q.	What are Sun's plans for performance improvements in future
	releases?

A.	Performance has improved significantly over Solaris 2.0.
	The next Solaris release, scheduled for the first half of
	calendar year 1993, will incorporate significant improvements
	in performance beyond that of Solaris 2.1, particularly in
	multiprocessor configurations.  I/O, database and multiuser
	performance, in particular, will exhibit significant increases
	in performance and scalability.


Q.	When will the Solaris for x86 platforms be available?

A.	The Solaris for x86 Early Access Program for ISVs began
	in September, 1992.  The Solaris for x86 End User Release is
	expected to be released in the first half of calendar year 1993.


Q.	What about C2 security?

A.	Solaris 2.1 provides hooks for an UNBUNDLED C2 Security product.
	the C2 features will be bundled into a future release of
	Solaris 2.x.


Q.	Will contract customers receive Solaris 2.1 automatically?

A.	Yes.  Solaris 2.1 will by "pushed" to all contract customers.
