Solaris 9 9/05 HW Release Notes

Preface

The Solaris 9 9/05 HW Release Notes contain installation problem details and other information that are specific to the SolarisTM 9 9/05 HW Operating System. More hardware-related issues in this release are described in the Solaris 9 9/05 HW Release Notes Supplement for Sun Hardware. For all other information about the Solaris 9 9/05 OS, refer to the Solaris 9 documentation at http://docs.sun.com. Certain Solaris 9 9/04documents contain information that remains applicable to this latest release.

Note –

The Solaris software runs on two platforms, SPARC® and x86. The Solaris software also runs on 64-bit and 32-bit address spaces. The information in this document pertains to both platforms and address spaces unless otherwise specified in a special chapter, section, note, bulleted item, figure, table, or example.

The Solaris 9 9/05 HW release provides Solaris 9 OS support for specific SPARC hardware products. It is not available for x86 platforms, which can continue using the existing Solaris 9 9/05 release. This book retains information that applies to x86 platforms using the Solaris 9 9/05 software.

Who Should Use This Book

These notes are for users and system administrators who install and use the Solaris 9 9/05 HW software.

Note –

This version of the software is only available for SPARC platforms. If you are using Solaris 9 9/05 software on SPARC or x86 platforms, you should instead read the Solaris 9 9/05 Release Notes.
