Information in this document applies to any platform.

Goal

The following table lists supported hardware, firmware and operating system (OS) combinations, as well as required software patches. Column 3 lists the minimum XCP release for each server/processor combination.

To discuss this information further with Oracle experts and industry peers, we encourage you to review, join or start a discussion in the My Oracle Support Community - M Series Servers

 

Fix

  Always refer to a patch's README for information about patch requirements and special installation instructions. The two-digit suffix of each patch represents the minimum revision level of the patch. Check http://myoraclesupport.com for the latest patch revision. Apply patches in the order listed.

  Note - Oracle recommends you install the latest Patch Recommended OS Cluster for all releases that support it.

  Caution - Before installing any processor - such as the SPARC64 VII+ processor - verify that your server satisfies all requirements for that processor type. Such requirements include minimum required XCP firmware and Oracle Solaris OS versions, and all required patches.

The minimum required system controller XCP revision is listed in column three.  The remaining columns list the domain Solaris release supported and whether any patches are required.  See the notes below the table.
