A couple of weeks ago, I did a post about the supported versions for LDoms. As of Ops Center version 12.2.2, LDoms 3.2 is not supported, although the latest Oracle Solaris 11.2 SRU 8 comes with it. Well, this raised a couple of followup questions that I thought I should answer:
"If LDoms 3.2 isn't supported, are new versions of Oracle Solaris that contain it supported?"
The OS versions themselves are supported, yes. If you have a non-virtualized S11.2 OS, you can upgrade to SRU 8 without difficulty. It's only on LDoms systems where you should avoid SRUs that contain LDoms 3.2 until it's officially supported.
"The Certified Systems Matrix recommends using the latest firmware for managed servers. Does the latest firmware have a minimum OS level?"
No, the firmware and OS levels are independent. Even if you have an LDoms system that's using an earlier version of S11.2, updating the hardware underneath it to use the latest firmware shouldn't cause problems.
