Oracle VM Server for SPARC 3.6 Release Notes

Language:

Chapter 1

These release notes include information about issues that you might encounter if you are running the versions of the Oracle Solaris OS, system firmware for a supported platform, and the Oracle VM Server for SPARC 3.6 software that are described in this book. If you are not running these Oracle Solaris OS and system firmware versions, you might encounter a larger set of issues.

Note - Ensure that you install and run the Oracle VM Server for SPARC 3.6 software with the latest system firmware versions on the supported hardware platforms. All domains on the system must run the latest Support Repository Update (SRU) of an Oracle Solaris 11 OS. Guest domains can also run the latest patch for the Oracle Solaris 10 1/13 OS.

These release notes might include some known issues that exist with older versions of the software.

For information about the supported hardware, software, and system firmware, see Chapter 1, System Requirements in Oracle VM Server for SPARC 3.6 Installation Guide.

Note - Oracle VM Server for SPARC features are added and maintained on the supported hardware platforms listed in Supported Platforms in Oracle VM Server for SPARC 3.6 Installation Guide. However, new features will not be added and existing features will not be maintained on hardware platforms that have been removed from the list.

As a rule, new Oracle VM Server for SPARC features and functionality are made available for all price-listed, supported SPARC T-series servers, SPARC M-series servers, and SPARC S-series servers from Oracle and Fujitsu SPARC M12 servers and Fujitsu M10 servers at the time that the Oracle VM Server for SPARC software is released and not for SPARC-based servers that have already passed their last-order date.

Note - The features that are described in this book can be used with all of the supported system software and hardware platforms that are listed in Oracle VM Server for SPARC 3.6 Installation Guide. However, some features are only available on a subset of the supported system software and hardware platforms.
