Additional Software Enhancements

This section describes additional software enhancements in this release.

SPARC: 64-bit: Memory DR Support on Migrated Domains

Starting with the Oracle Solaris 10 1/13 release, you can perform memory dynamic reconfiguration (DR) on migrated domains. This enhancement enables you to add new memory to the migrated guests without rebooting the guest domain.

For more information, see Oracle VM Server for SPARC 2.2 Administration Guide.

x86: Fault Proxy Between the Service Processor and Host

All faults identified by the Fault Management Architecture (FMA) on an Oracle Solaris host can be remotely viewed and managed from the service processor in the same way as with the local service processor faults. This feature enables users to view and manage proxy faults along with the local faults.


Note - This feature is available only on x86 platforms from Oracle such as Sun Fire X4170 M3 Server, Sun Fire X4270 M3 Server, and Sun Blade X6270 M3 Server.


Fibre Channel Adapter Header Files

The /usr/include/sys/fibre-channel/ directory now contains fibre channel header files. These are included to support development and deployment of third party fibre channel HBA interface drivers with Oracle Solaris 10.
