Mandatory Oracle Solaris 10 OS Patches and Packages (SPARC M7)
If you 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
This version of the OS is supported only 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.
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.

Oracle Solaris 10 8/11.
Note -
Until the Oracle Solaris 10 1/13 SPARC Bundle has been
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.

Oracle Solaris 10 1/13 SPARC Bundle.
This bundle causes the OS to operate as the Oracle Solaris
10 1/13 OS, but the version number in the
/etc/release file remains as Oracle
Solaris 10 8/11.

These mandatory patches:
To install Oracle Solaris 10, you must patch the miniroot
of the installation media with KU150400-29, at minimum. You
can use the Oracle Solaris 10 JumpStart technology and
finish scripts to patch the installed image. Refer to MOS
article 1501320.1 for instructions on how to patch a packed
miniroot at My Oracle Support (https://myoraclesupport.com).

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

Note -
Until the Oracle Solaris 10 1/13 SPARC Bundle is installed, you might
encounter these bugs — 15712380, 15704520, 15665037. The first two
bugs are resolved when the Oracle Solaris 10 1/13 SPARC Bundle is installed.
