Goal

With the introduction of UltraSPARC(R) IV+ 1.5/1.8/1.95Ghz processor based system boards:

Sun Fire[TM] 12K/15K/E20K/E25K platforms will require SMS 1.6 with patches. For details please see Sun Fire[TM] 12K/15K/E20K/E25K: Solaris[TM] and SMS requirements and recommendations (Doc ID 1009212.1)

Midrange Sun Fire V1280/4800/6800/E2900/E4900/E6900, Netra 1280/1290 platforms will require the ScApp firmware version 5.19 to facilitate support for the 1.5Ghz board, 5.20.1 for the 1.8Ghz and 5.20.4 for the 1.95GHz version. Please see for details.

All domain configurations resident on the above platforms employing UltraSPARC(R) IV+ processor based system boards will require Solaris[TM] 10 HW1 or Solaris[TM] 9 Update 8 operating system as their minimum Solaris releases.

For Solaris 10 please see "Sun Fire[TM] 12K/15K/E20K/E25K, Sun Fire V1280/4800/6800/E2900/E4900/E6900, Netra 1280/1290 servers: UltraSPARC IV+ DR restrictions on Solaris10 HW1" (Doc ID 1009465.1)
