Installation Order

OS and Patches

Oracle Solaris 10 1/13.

These mandatory patches:

All patches up to the most recently posted version.
KU150400-29.

To install Oracle Solaris 10 1/13, you must use an image with the miniroot patched with KU150400-29, or higher.

A supported image is provided in MOS patch 26032848. This image contains the original Oracle Solaris 10 1/13 software, and a miniroot image which includes kernel patch 150400-48. Downloading and using this image enables you to install Oracle Solaris 10 1/13 on guest domains using the Oracle Solaris 10 JumpStart technology without manually patching the packed miniroot.

(Optional) If you do not want to use the image provided in the MOS patch, use the prior method to patch the packed miniroot manually. You must also use this method to patch versions of Oracle Solaris older than Oracle Solaris 10 1/13. Refer to MOS article 1501320.1 for instructions on how to patch a packed miniroot at My Oracle Support (https://myoraclesupport.com).

You can use the Oracle Solaris 10 JumpStart technology and finish scripts to patch the installed image.

1	Oracle Solaris 10 8/11. Note - Until the Oracle Solaris 10 1/13 SPARC Bundle has been installed, Oracle Solaris 10 8/11 supports only 512 CPUs and 3840 Gbytes of memory. For servers exceeding those resources, reduce the resources until the Oracle Solaris 10 1/13 SPARC Bundle has been installed, or install a later version of Oracle Solaris.
2	Oracle Solaris 10 1/13 SPARC Bundle. This bundle causes the OS to operate as the Oracle Solaris 10 1/13 OS, but the version number in the `/etc/release` file remains as Oracle Solaris 10 8/11.

If you are unfamiliar with the Oracle Solaris 10 JumpStart technology, contact your support representative or Oracle Support for documentation that describes how to configure an Oracle Solaris 11 zone as an Oracle Solaris 10 1/13 JumpStart server.

Note - Until the Oracle Solaris 10 1/13 SPARC Bundle is installed, you might encounter these bugs — 15712380, 15704520, 15665037. The first two bugs are resolved when the Oracle Solaris 10 1/13 SPARC Bundle is installed. These bugs do not impact the patch installations.
