New Device Support

This section describes new devices that have been added in this release.

x86: Support for the Xen Virtual Block Device in the xdf Driver

The xdf driver supports the Xen virtual block device (XVD) on an x86-based Oracle VM Server. With XVD support, the maximum disk number in a single Oracle VM instance is increased up to the maximum number supported by Oracle VM Server. As a result, your Oracle VM instance can be configured with additional virtual disks.

The number of virtual disks that can be configured is dependent on your version of Oracle VM Server for x86. Refer to Oracle VM Server Release Notes for x86 for the maximum number of supported disks.

Support for New Device in the bnxe Driver

The bnxe driver supports the Broadcom BCM57712 NetXtreme II 10 Gigabit Ethernet adapter.
