Notes on Using Oracle Solaris 10


Notes on Using Oracle Solaris 10
  1. [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, see the Fujitsu SPARC M12 and Fujitsu M10/SPARC M10 XSCF Reference Manual.
    To update the Oracle VM Server for SPARC version to 3.1.0.1, apply patch 150817-01 after installing Oracle VM Server for SPARC 3.1.
  2. [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) and addboard(8) commands, update to Oracle VM Server for SPARC 3.1.1 or later. When updating to 3.1.1, apply patch 150817-02 after installing Oracle VM Server for SPARC 3.1.
