x86: Support for Suspend-to-RAM “Sleep” Feature

This system resource enhancement is new in the Developer 1/08 release.

Starting with this release, the Solaris OS includes support for the Suspend to RAM (S3) “Sleep” feature. This feature is supported on Solaris x86 based platforms that include compliant drivers, for example the Sun Ultra^TM 20 M2 Workstation. For a driver to be considered compliant, the driver must support a specific feature set.

For more information, see Chapter 12, Power Management, in Writing Device Drivers.

As platforms become compliant, they will be added to the list of supported workstations.
