Important! All systems require a hardware audit before those systems can be upgraded to Release 06.01.00, which is a general availability release. The hardware audit ensures that these systems meet the hardware configuration requirements for the general release. This audit is performed by Oracle Customer Support. Any hardware changes that might be required must be performed before you upgrade the system software.
