Features That Depend on System Firmware, the Oracle Solaris OS, or Both

Some of the Oracle VM Server for SPARC 3.5 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, System Requirements in Oracle VM Server for SPARC 3.5 Installation Guide. For Fujitsu M12 servers, see the latest Fujitsu SPARC M12 Server Product Notes. For Fujitsu M10 servers, see the latest Fujitsu M10/SPARC M10 Server Product Notes.

 

Generally, some Oracle VM Server for SPARC 3.5, features are available even if the system does not run the fully qualified system firmware.

  • ADI migration
