Note -  This version of the OS is supported only in guest domains.
Installation Order
OS and Patches
1
Oracle Solaris 10 1/13.

Install the mandatory patches found in the recommended patchset for Oracle Solaris 10 SPARC bundle as of June 2017, or newer, which includes KU150400-51.
To install Oracle Solaris 10 1/13, you must use an image with the miniroot patched with KU150400-29, or higher.
A supported 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 you to install Oracle Solaris 10 1/13 on guest domains using the Oracle Solaris 10 JumpStart technology without manually patching the packed miniroot.
(Optional) If you do not want to use the image provided in the MOS patch, use the prior method to patch the packed miniroot manually. 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.
