2.2.4. Sun Solaris 9

Directory Server on Solaris 9 requires an UltraSPARC (SPARC v9) processor, which 64-bit
applications as well as high-performance and multi-processor systems. Earlier SPARC processors are
not supported. Use the isainfo command to verify that the system has support for sparc9. Verify
the system's kernel configuration, install the appropriate modules and patches, and then fine-tune the
system to work with Sun Solaris 9.
