The following previously deprecated Oracle VM Server for SPARC features have been removed from this release of the software:
Setting the threading property to manage single-thread workloads on SPARC T4 servers. By default, domains are created for maximum throughput, and the Oracle Solaris OS automatically uses the critical thread API to optimize for single-thread workloads. This feature has been removed from the Oracle VM Server for SPARC 3.3 release.
Before you install or upgrade to the Oracle VM Server for SPARC 3.4 software, ensure that all domains have the threading property set to max-throughput. See How to Remove the threading Property in Oracle VM Server for SPARC 3.4 Installation Guide and Upgrading the Oracle Solaris OS in Oracle VM Server for SPARC 3.4 Installation Guide.
The Netra Data Plane software suite, which includes the vdpcc and vdpcs virtual devices, is no longer supported by Oracle VM Server for SPARC.
Using the Hybrid I/O feature is deprecated in favor of using the single-root I/O virtualization (SR-IOV) feature.
The Logical Domains Manager auditing implementation has been removed pending replacement.
