Solstice Open System Interconnect (OSI) 9.0 Part of Migration of TMN Product Suite
Solstice OSI, version 9.0 is part of the migration of the TMN product
suite (OSI/CMIP/FTAM) to the Solaris 8 64-bit operating environment.
This port is being done to support new Sun hardware like the new
UltraSPARC-III-based workstations and servers which only support
Solaris 8 in 64-bit kernel mode. Products like Solstice OSI which are
implemented as kernel modules must be ported to this 64-bit kernel mode
to run on these new machines.
In this release OSI 9.0 will run in 32 and 64-bit kernel on Solaris 8
(SPARC Platform Edition). In other words, Solstice OSI will fully
support 32 and 64-bit applications if the kernel is in 64-bit mode, and
only 32-bit applications if the kernel is in 32-bit mode.
Solstice OSI 9.0 provides a complete communication platform, connecting
Solaris systems to all other OSI systems as well as providing access to
OSI networks worldwide.
Solstice OSI provides STREAMS-based OSI software which runs on the
Solaris Operating Environment.
