Notes on using Oracle Solaris 10

[SPARC M10-4S]
■
When the control domain is running on Oracle Solaris 10 with Oracle VM Server
for SPARC version 3.1.0.1 or older, if the physical partition dynamic reconfiguration
(PPAR DR) feature is enabled, the ldoms/ldmd service fails to start and Oracle VM
for SPARC does not work.
The PPAR DR feature is enabled at the time of shipment. Therefore, either disable
the PPAR DR feature before setting up logical domains, or, update Oracle VM
Server for SPARC to version 3.1.0.1 or later.
Configuration of the PPAR DR feature is performed with the setpparmode(8)
command of XSCF firmware. For details on the setpparmode(8) command, refer to
Fujitsu M10/SPARC M10 Systems XSCF Reference Manual.
To update Oracle VM Server for SPARC version to 3.1.0.1, apply patch no.
150817-01 after installing Oracle VM Server for SPARC 3.1.
[SPARC M10-4S]
■
When Oracle Solaris 10 is running on the control domain, in order to perform
dynamic reconfiguration of physical partitions (PPAR DR) with the
deleteboard(8), addboard(8) commands, update to Oracle VM Server for SPARC
3.1.1 or newer. When updating to 3.1.1, apply patch 150817-02 after installing
Oracle VM Server for SPARC 3.1.
Notes when using a version older than Oracle VM
Server for SPARC 3.1.0.1
