⁽¹⁾ Charon-SSP/4U+ has same virtual hardware specification as Charon-SSP/4U, Charon-SSP/4V+ the same als Charon-SSP/4V.
⁽²⁾ SPARC V9 is backward compatible. Hence, Charon-SSP/4U can also support V8 32-bit systems.
⁽³⁾ Each SCSI target ID can have up to 8 LUNs. Therefore, the overall number of SCSI devices can be larger than the number of target IDs. The exact number depends on the emulated hardware, the guest operating system version, and the SCSI devices used.
⁽⁴⁾ Charon-SSP/4V supports one LDom per instance. An LDom virtual disk image can be booted by Charon-SSP without modifications.
⁽⁵⁾ Actual maximum values are different depending on guest OS: Solaris 10: 1TB, Solaris 11: 512GB.

• Solaris 2.3 to Solaris 9

The Charon-SSP/4U(+) virtual machines support the following guest operating system releases:

• Solaris 2.5.1 to Solaris 10 

The Charon-SSP/4V(+) virtual machines support the following guest operating system releases:
