2.1.1 Domain OS


2.1.1 Domain OS
The maximum number of each type of mounted PCI card and the available PCI slots vary depending on the version of Oracle Solaris installed on the domain.
  1. Oracle Solaris 11:
    This is considered the version if the OS versions on the control domain, root domain, and I/O domain are all Oracle Solaris 11.
  2. Oracle Solaris 10:
    This is considered the version if the OS versions on the control domain, root domain, and I/O domain are all Oracle Solaris 10 or a mixture of Oracle Solaris 11 and Oracle Solaris 10.
    That is, if Oracle Solaris versions are mixed in your environment, apply the rules for Oracle Solaris 10.
When an Oracle Solaris 10 environment is used in the following configurations, however, apply the rules for Oracle Solaris 11.
  1. A guest domain of an Oracle Solaris 10 environment is configured using the virtual I/O services of a control domain or the root domain of Oracle Solaris 11.
  2. An Oracle Solaris 10 zone is configured on an Oracle Solaris 11 domain.
If there is any plan to add a root domain or I/O domain running Oracle Solaris 10 after system operation begins, apply the rules for Oracle Solaris 10.
Note - For details on the design of control domain, root domain, and I/O domain configurations, see the Fujitsu SPARC M12 and Fujitsu M10/SPARC M10 Domain Configuration Guide.
