Supported Oracle VM Server Software

If you requested that the Oracle VM Server software be preinstalled on the server when you placed your order, Oracle VM Server 3.3 was preinstalled at the factory. If the Oracle VM software is preinstalled on your server, but you do not want to use it, you can install any other supported operating system or virtual machine software on your server. For an updated list of operating systems supported by the server, refer to the latest version of the Oracle Server X5-2 Product Notes at http://www.oracle.com/goto/X5-2/docs.

The Oracle VM Server Hardware Compatibility List (HCL) identifies the latest operating system version supported on Oracle hardware. To find the latest Oracle VM Server version supported for the Oracle Server X5-2, go to the following site and search using your server model number:

Note - If Oracle VM Server was preinstalled, it was installed with the server set to Legacy BIOS boot mode. If you choose to boot the server in UEFI boot mode, the preinstalled image is not accessible and cannot be used. Oracle VM Server does not support UEFI boot mode.
