Open Solaris is a open source product that people can contribute code to. Sun Solaris 10 is completely controlled by sun and is closed source. That is the basic difference.

I am new to Sun.
I brought Sun Fire 280R to practice UNIX. What are the requirements for the monitor/CRT? Will it burn out old non-Sun CRTs? Does it need LCD monitor?
Thanks. (3 Replies)

clprivnet(7) Sun Cluster Device and Network Interfaces clprivnet(7)
NAME
clprivnet - SUNW,clprivnet Sun Cluster private network driver
SYNOPSIS
/dev/clprivnet
DESCRIPTION
Note -
Beginning with the Sun Cluster 3.2 release, Sun Cluster software includes an object-oriented command set. Although Sun Cluster software
still supports the original command set, Sun Cluster procedural documentation uses only the object-oriented command set. For more infor-
mation about the object-oriented command set, see the Intro(1CL) man page.
The SUNW,clprivnet Sun Cluster private network driver is a STREAMS pseudo driver supporting Sun Cluster resident applications that use
standard Solaris interfaces to communicate over the Sun Cluster private network. By striping data traffic over all links, this driver opti-
mally utilizes the bandwidth of the private network while supporting highly available, software fault-tolerant communication.
APPLICATION PROGRAMMING INTERFACE
The driver is supported by the character-special device /dev/clprivnet, but is reserved for Sun Cluster internal operation and the standard
Solaris network utilities. This interface must not be directly used for general application communication.
ADMINISTRATION
The administration and configuration of the driver as a network interface is done completely by the Sun Cluster infrastructure internals.
