Note - For an up-to-date list of the preinstalled operating systems available on the Sun Server X2-4, go to the Sun x86 Servers web site and navigate to the Sun Server X2-4 page: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/server-storage/sun-x86/overview/index.html.
However, the server supports several different operating systems. Therefore, you do not have to use the preinstalled version of the Oracle Solaris Operating System or Oracle VM software on your server. If you want to install a fresh or newer version of the Oracle Solaris Operating System or Oracle VM software or a different operating system such as Linux, Microsoft Windows, or VMware ESXi, you can do so, provided it is a supported version. For a list of operating systems supported, see the Sun Server X2-4 Product Notes.
For installation instructions for supported operating systems, see the following documents:
For Oracle Solaris, see the Sun Server X2-4 Installation Guide for Oracle Solaris Operating System
For Oracle VM, see the Sun Server X2-4 Installation Guide for Oracle VM
For Oracle Linux, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, see the Sun Server X2-4 Installation Guide for Linux Operating Systems
