Software Requirements

ACSLS 8.5 has been developed and tested for the following operating system environments:

• ACSLS Release 8.5.1

  • Oracle's Sun SPARC and X86 platforms running Solaris 11, Update 3, or Solaris 11, Update 4:

    • For Solaris 11, Update 3, Support Repository Update (SRU) 35 or later is required.

    • For Solaris 11, Update 4, Support Repository Update (SRU) 8 or later is required.

    Oracle recommends using the latest SRU available. Visit the My Oracle Support page at http://support.oracle.com for more information.

  • Oracle Enterprise Linux releases 6.8, 6.10, 7.3, 7.6, 7.8 and 7.9

• ACSLS Release 8.5.0

  • Oracle's Sun SPARC and X86 platforms running Solaris 11, Update 3.

    Oracle recommends using the latest SRU available. Visit the My Oracle Support page at http://support.oracle.com for more information.

  • Oracle Enterprise Linux releases 6.8 and 7.3

Oracle Linux testing was performed in environments using Oracle's Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel. Other operating systems, including virtual environments, are not tested or supported.

Note:

Special device drivers are provided in ACSLS for use with logical libraries and with fibre-attached libraries, such as the SL500 and SL150. This is an issue for Solaris zoned environments. Because these device drivers are attached to the system kernel, they must reside in the global zone. In cases where these drivers are used, ACSLS cannot be installed in the local zoned environment. Logical libraries are not supported on the Linux operating system.
