To enable and disable the Device Allocation feature in this release, use the following service:

svc:/system/device/allocate

For more information, see the device_allocate(1M) man page.

x86: 32–Bit dom0 (6851808)

The Oracle Solaris 11 Express release no longer delivers the 32-bit version of the Sun xVM hypervisor for use as a dom0. Support for 32–bit and 64–bit guest domUs remains unaffected on the 64–bit version of the hypervisor delivered in this release.

Workaround: The options for users still interested in virtualization on 32–bit machines are as follows:

Oracle Solaris Zones and Oracle Solaris 10 Containers
Oracle VM VirtualBox for Oracle Solaris 10, Linux, Windows, and other guest operating systems

For more information about the supported guest operating systems, see http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch03.html#2956856.
