Supported Operating Systems on Provisionable Servers
The following tables provide the complete list of operating systems that can be installed and are supported on the provisionable servers with the N1 System Manager.
Note –
Solaris 9 OS on x86 platform distributions require the application of two updates from a separate patch server if your management server is running Linux. See To Patch a Solaris 9 OS Distribution by Using a Solaris 9 OS on x86 Patch Server for detailed instructions on how to create a valid Solaris 9 OS on x86 platform distribution. These patches are necessary for the N1 System Manager to be able to provision Solaris OS 9 update 7 and below. This procedure is not required for Solaris OS 9 update 8 and above.
Provisionable server hardware and operating software requirements for the N1 System Manager are listed in the following tables.
