Mandatory Oracle Solaris 10 OS Patches
If you choose to install the Oracle Solaris 10 OS in a guest domain, you must also
install additional patches and in some cases, a patch bundle.
Oracle Solaris 10 1/13 Mandatory Patches
A supported version of the OS is only supported in guest domains.

Oracle Solaris 10 1/13.

These mandatory patches:
To install Oracle Solaris 10 1/13, you must use an image with
the miniroot patched with KU150400-29, or higher.
The correct image is provided in MOS patch 26032848. This
image contains the original Oracle Solaris 10 1/13 software, and
a miniroot image which includes kernel patch 150400-48.
Downloading and using this image enables the installation of
Oracle Solaris 10 1/13 on guest domains via jumpstart without
the need to manually patch the packed miniroot.
(optional) If, for some reason, you do not want to use the
image provided in the MOS patch, you can use the prior method to
manually patch the packed miniroot. You must also use this
method to patch versions of Oracle Solaris older than Oracle
Solaris 10 1/13. Refer to MOS article 1501320.1 for instructions
on how to patch a packed miniroot at My Oracle
Support (https://myoraclesupport.com).
You can use the Oracle Solaris 10 JumpStart technology and
finish scripts to patch the installed image.
If you are unfamiliar with the Oracle Solaris 10 JumpStart
technology, contact your support representative or Oracle
Support for documentation that describes how to configure an
Oracle Solaris 11 zone as an Oracle Solaris 10 1/13 JumpStart
server.

installed, Oracle Solaris 10 8/11 supports only 512 CPUs and
3840 Gbytes of memory. For servers exceeding those
resources, reduce the resources until the Oracle Solaris 10
1/13 SPARC Bundle has been installed, or install a later
version of Oracle Solaris.
