NOTE 2: This patch supports both the Sun Fire T2000 and the APL SPARC
        Enterprise T2000 product lines, which share the same firmware.  We
        include two separate Sun System Firmware binary files, with different
        names corresponding to the respective products. The different names are
        provided for convenience - the two files are otherwise identical. 
 
	The system may experience boot or other problems with earlier version of
        Solaris (S10_HW2).
 
	SPARC Enterprise T2000 (APL) configurations require Solaris 10 11/06 (Update 3)
        (or later) to be installed.
 
NOTE 3: Please refer to the online documentation for feature and version
        compatibility between releases of Sun System Firmware and
        Oracle VM Server for SPARC releases.  Documentation relevant to
        this platform can be found at:
        - OVM SPARC:   http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/documentation/vm-sparc-194287.html
        - T2000: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E19076-01/sparc.t2k/index.html
 
NOTE 4: If you are currently using LDoms 1.0 software, you must perform a full upgrade procedure
        to upgrade to LDoms 1.2 (or later) software.  Refer to the Logical Domains (LDoms)
        Administration Guide at http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/documentation/vm-sparc-194287.html.
        You do not need to destroy configurations created with LDoms 1.0.1 or later software;
        you only need to upgrade the software.
