Supported Oracle Solaris Operating Systems

Language:

The Oracle Server X5-2 supports the following Oracle Solaris operating system software.

Oracle Solaris OS	Edition
Oracle Solaris 11	Release 11.2 (with SRU5, or later, required)

Note - For all late-breaking requirements for the Oracle Solaris operating system, refer to the latest version of the Oracle Server X5-2 Product Notes at http://www.oracle.com/goto/X5-2/docs.

If you requested that the Oracle Solaris operating system (OS) be preinstalled on your server when you ordered the server, Oracle Solaris 11.2 (with SRU5, or later, required) was preinstalled at the factory. If the Oracle Solaris OS 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 Solaris Hardware Compatibility List (HCL) identifies the latest operating system version supported on Oracle hardware. To find the latest Oracle Solaris version supported for the Oracle Server X5-2, go to the following site and search using your server model number:

Note - If the Oracle Solaris 11.2 (with SRU5, or later) OS was preinstalled, it was installed with the server UEFI/BIOS Boot Mode set to Legacy. If you choose to boot the server with the UEFI/BIOS Boot Mode set to UEFI, the preinstalled image will not be accessible. Therefore, if you want to use the Oracle Solaris 11.2 OS with the UEFI/BIOS Boot Mode set to UEFI, you must perform a fresh installation of Oracle Solaris 11.2 (with SRU5, or later, required).
