Operating Systems Support for NEMs
Note: Operating Systems Support for all NEMs except listed below is based on the blade servers
Sun Blade 6000 Virtualized 40 GbE Network ExpressModule (P/N: 7100090, aka SOL NEM)
- Oracle Solaris 10 Operating System (OS) 09/10 (64-bit) with patches or newer releases and Oracle Solaris 11 OS (included in S11 release train)
- Included in Oracle Linux Kernel and OVM Kernel releases
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES): same as those supported by the host server
- Windows 2008: R2 (64-bit), 2008 SP2 (64-bit)
- Windows 2012: No plans to support
- VMware (driver download from VMware web page): ESX 5.x, ESXi 5.x
- VMware newer versions TBD
Sun Blade 6000 Ethernet Switched 24p 10GE Network ExpressModule (P/N: X2073A-N, aka OPUS1 NEM)
- The NEM is a switch and agnostic to the server OS. The FEM (X4871A-Z-N) supports the OS of the host blade server
