Platform Support

In Directory Server Enterprise Edition, support for Windows 2000, Red Hat Advanced Server 3.0, and J2SE platform 1.4 has been removed. Support for the native install package releases for platforms other than the Solaris operating system has been removed. Support for 32–bit versions of the software might be discontinued for some platforms. To be prepared, plan the transition to 64–bit versions of the software and to newer versions of the supported operating systems. See Operating System Requirements for details of the newer versions of supported operating systems.

JDK versions 1.5 and 1.6 are supported in this release.

Identity Synchronization for Windows 6.0 Service Pack 1 can synchronize with Windows Active Directory 2008.

Directory Server Enterprise Edition Bundle Patch 6.3.1.1.2 supports Logical Domains, (LDoms), on the SPARC platform for Solaris 10 Update 3 and later versions. For more information about LDoms, see the Logical Domains (LDoms) 1.0.1 Administration Guide.

System Virtualization Support

System virtualization is a technology that enables multiple operating system (OS) instances to execute independently on shared hardware. Functionally, software deployed to an OS hosted in a virtualized environment is generally unaware that the underlying platform has been virtualized. Some testing has been performed on selected system virtualization and OS combinations to help validate that the products continue to function on properly sized and configured virtualized environments as they do on non-virtualized systems.

For this release, support is provided for any OS running on the Oracle VM technology provided that the OS is already supported natively for the Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.3 software. Certification is not provided for every combination of OS and hardware, and support relies on the underlying Oracle VM technology implementation. Production deployment of the Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.3 software on the Oracle VM technology has not been extensively tested. Directory Server Enterprise Edition also supports Solaris Zones and Logical Domains (LDoms), which are part of Oracle VM technology.
