Note –

The Logical Domains 1.3 software is supported on the OpenSolaris OS starting with the OpenSolaris 2009.06 release. The Logical Domains 1.3 documentation focuses on the use of Logical Domains on the Solaris 10 OS. The same Logical Domains features are available for both the Solaris 10 OS and the OpenSolaris OS. However, you might encounter slight differences when using Logical Domains with the OpenSolaris OS. For more information about the OpenSolaris OS, see the OpenSolaris Information Center.

The following table shows the patches that are required for older releases of the Solaris 10 OS to have the Logical Domains 1.3 functionality. These patches are included in the Solaris 10 10/09 OS.
