Oracle VM Release 3.x is not backwardly
compatible with previous Oracle VM releases. If you are using
Oracle VM Release 2.x you cannot upgrade to
Release 3.2. You must reinstall your Oracle VM Servers and Oracle VM Manager. You can
however upgrade between Oracle VM 3.x
releases, for example, upgrading from Oracle VM Release 3.0.3
to Release 3.2. See the
Oracle VM Installation and Upgrade Guide
for information on upgrading between Oracle VM
3.x
releases.
Upgrading versions of Oracle VM Manager that are using an Oracle XE database as a backend repository is not supported in this release, as the Oracle XE database is no longer supported under Oracle VM. If you are currently running an Oracle XE database for an existing installation of Oracle VM Manager, you must migrate the Oracle XE database to Oracle SE or Oracle EE before performing an upgrade to Release 3.2.
Oracle VM Server Release 3.1.1 installs the sudo
package by default. This package is no longer a dependency for
Oracle VM Server Release 3.2. If you do not require this package, you can
remove it. If you would like to continue to use it, you may also
want to install the ovs-support-tools
package.
Instructions are provided in
Oracle VM Installation and Upgrade Guide.
