Solaris 9 H/W 9/05 vs 9/06
When the Ultra 25 workstation was released, the documentation said it would be supported in Solaris 9 when H/W release 9/06 came out. But now, I have seen an announcement that the support for the Ultra 25 (along with the Ultra 45, Sun Fire 215, 245, and 445 servers) is in a new release of Solaris 9 H/W 9/05. What happened to the September 2006 release - 9/06?
And now are there 2 versions of the H/W 9/05 upgrade?
Thanks in advance for your help.
