What's New in This Release

• Starting with Oracle Solaris 11.3, Oracle Virtual Networking host drivers are integrated into the Oracle Solaris 11.3 package.

  ---

  Note -  Oracle Solaris 11.3 hosts running Oracle Virtual Networking can support only the local boot method. The other boot methods such as SAN boot, iSCSI boot, and PXE boot are not supported.

  ---

• The host drivers for Oracle Solaris 11.3 support private virtual interface (PVI) vNIC functionality of Oracle SDN. This support enables high-speed server-to-server connections for east-west traffic. Because the PVI functionality is embedded in the host driver package, there is no need for additional software.

• The host drivers also support HBA LUN commands. For more information, see HBA LUN Commands.
