You can upgrade to the Oracle VM Server for SPARC 3.1 software for either Oracle Solaris 10 or Oracle Solaris 11:
Oracle Solaris 10: See How to Upgrade to the Oracle VM Server for SPARC 3.1 Software (Oracle Solaris 10) in Oracle VM Server for SPARC 3.1 Administration Guide.
Oracle Solaris 11: Use the pkg update command to specify one of the Oracle Solaris 11 releases that includes the Oracle VM Server for SPARC 3.1 software (Oracle Solaris 11.1.10 through Oracle Solaris 11.1.16). When no release is specified, the pkg update command installs the latest SRU, which includes the Oracle VM Server for SPARC 3.1.1 software. See How to Upgrade to the Oracle VM Server for SPARC 3.1 Software (Oracle Solaris 11) in Oracle VM Server for SPARC 3.1 Administration Guide.
