Some of the Oracle VM Server for SPARC 3.3 features are available only when the fully qualified system firmware and Oracle Solaris OS are installed. Note that the control domain must already be running the fully qualified Oracle Solaris OS.
For information about the supported hardware, system firmware, and Oracle Solaris OS, see Chapter 1, Oracle VM Server for SPARC 3.3 System Requirements, in Oracle VM Server for SPARC 3.3 Installation Guide . For Fujitsu M10 servers, see the latest Fujitsu M10/SPARC M10 Systems Product Notes.
For Oracle VM Server for SPARC 3.3, all new features are available even if the system does not run the fully qualified system firmware.
If a guest domain, an I/O domain, or a root domain does not run the fully qualified Oracle Solaris OS version, the following Oracle VM Server for SPARC 3.3 features are not available:
Virtual SCSI HBA, which requires the Oracle Solaris 11.3 OS
Memory block splitting, which requires the Oracle Solaris 11.3 OS on the guest domain to be migrated
