Flag Day: blktap support

Subject: Flag Day: blktap support



You can safely ignore this heads-up message if you do
not use a xVM dom0.

The putback for:
   PSARC/2008/596 Block Tap Support for Solaris
   PSARC/2008/597 vdiskadm
   6539533 Solaris dom0 needs blktap support
   6670055 xVM Server needs to support VMDK file format

introduced blktap support for disk backends. If you use
virt-install and update your xVM packages, you must also
BFU to the matching onnv pieces.

However, you can safely BFU to current onnv bits
without having to update the xVM packages.  You
just won't be able to use blktap.

If you have any questions or problems, please contact me.


Thanks,

Mark
