The XML v2 interface was deprecated in the Oracle VM Server for SPARC 1.2 release and is no longer supported in this Oracle VM Server for SPARC release.
The following Oracle VM Server for SPARC features are deprecated in this release of the software and might be removed from the product at any time:
The network interface functionality of an Oracle VM Server for SPARC vsw driver was deprecated in Oracle Solaris 11.1. The Oracle VM Server for SPARC vsw driver continues to provide virtual network switching functionality for guest domains. See Oracle Solaris 11 Networking Overview in Oracle VM Server for SPARC 3.0 Administration Guide.
Note - The network interface functionality continues to be supported for Oracle Solaris 10 service domains.
Setting the threading property to max-ipc to manage single-thread workloads on SPARC T4 platforms is deprecated. By default, domains are created for maximum throughput, and the Oracle Solaris OS automatically uses the critical thread API to optimize for single-thread workloads.
Using the -c option of the add-vcpu, set-vcpu, and rm-vcpu subcommands to manage hard partitioning is deprecated. Instead, use the add-core, set-core, or rm-core subcommand to assign whole cores. Also, use the add-domain or set-domain subcommand to specify the CPU cap (max-cores).
Using the Hybrid I/O feature is deprecated in favor of using the single-root I/O virtualization (SR-IOV) feature.
Using the non-cooperative migration feature is deprecated in favor of using the live migration feature.
