Most of the time it is required to attach additional files to Oracle Support Cases,
for example ILOM/XSCF snapshots or Logfiles.
If you use the ASR Manager on Solaris it is very easy to attach
additional files. It includes a transport tool. No need to copy files to
your local machine and to upload using a Browser.
Check if you use the ASR Manager
# svcs |grep asrm
online 2024-05-08T17:29:45 svc:/application/management/asrm:default
You can just copy your files into this directory
/var/opt/asrmanager/sftransport/transfer/
The files need to start with your SR-Number, for example
3-31234567890.mylogfile
The files are transported to Oracle Support and attached
to your SR every 10 minutes.
You can check the state using
/opt/asrmanager/bin/sftransport info

Oracle offers Extended Support for Solaris 11.4 now till at least 2037
In 2023 Oracle has changed the Extended Support for Solaris 10 and Solaris 11.3
from January 2025 to January 2027.
Now Oracle adds another 3 years to Solaris 11.4 to November 2037.
This is a long term commitment I'm not aware of any other OS vendor.
New features are delivered every quarter using SRUs.
You can find all the Support dates in
