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.
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 an x86 Patch Server in Sun N1 System Manager 1.3 Troubleshooting Guide 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.
The following tables list hardware and operating system requirements for managed servers that the N1 System Manager can provision.
