Version Restrictions for Migration

This section describes version restrictions for performing live migrations.

  • Logical Domains Manager version. You can perform a live migration in either direction when one system runs the latest version of the Logical Domains Manager and the other system runs at least the immediately preceding version of the Logical Domains Manager.

  • Oracle Solaris OS version. You can perform a live migration of a guest domain that runs at least the Oracle Solaris 10 9/10 OS. You cannot perform a live migration of a guest domain that runs the Oracle Solaris 10 10/09 OS or earlier Oracle Solaris OS versions. You can still boot these older Oracle Solaris OS versions and perform cold migrations of such domains.

  • System firmware version. In general, you can perform a live migration between two systems when both the source and target machines support the appropriate minimum system firmware versions. See System Firmware Versions in Oracle VM Server for SPARC 3.6 Installation Guide.
