Running Oracle Solaris 10 in an SR-IOV root or I/O domain is an unsupported configuration. To adjust the configuration so that it is supported, do the following:

  • If running Oracle Solaris 10 in an SR-IOV root domain, update the root domain to the latest Oracle Solaris 11 release. Otherwise, move the SR-IOV physical function to an Oracle Solaris 11 domain to bring the root domain into compliance for support.

  • If running Oracle Solaris 10 in an SR-IOV I/O domain, update the I/O domain to the latest Oracle Solaris 11 release. If this is not possible, switch the SR-IOV I/O devices to virtual I/O devices. Making either of these changes brings the configuration into compliance for support.

Direct any questions about Solaris SR-IOV/FC-IOR functionality to your Oracle Solaris Support Representative.
