A resilient I/O domain must meet the following requirements:
Runs at least the Oracle Solaris 11.2.8.0.0 (SRU 8) OS and its primary domain runs at least the Oracle VM Server for SPARC 3.2 software.
Uses multipathing to create failover configurations for virtual functions and virtual devices. For network multipathing, the IPMP group can have virtual functions and vnet devices.
Has the master property value set to the name of a root domain whose failure-policy property is set to ignore. Any other failure policy setting, such as stop, reset, or panic, supersedes I/O resiliency and the I/O domain is interrupted.
Uses only SR-IOV virtual functions that support I/O domain resiliency. See https://support.oracle.com/CSP/main/article?cmd=show&type=NOT&doctype=REFERENCE&id=1325454.1.
