![]() ![]() ![]() There are pre-made VMs available from Oracle.I cannot get either 11/x86 or 11/sparc to boot on Qemu, and I cannot even get the 11/x86 installation to boot on VirtualBox I have not had much luck with using the Solaris 11 installation media.I have not been able to get Solaris 10/sparc to work on Qemu using the installation media available from Oracle and apparently this is related to the chipset that Qemu emulates.Solaris 10/x86 will boot on both Qemu and VirtualBox.# Boot Solaris 10 mounting the install ISO ![]() The script has tweaks in it for each OS - for example, Solaris 2.6 will not boot on a VM with 1GB of RAM and we workaround that. You can find the tool on Github along with some wrapper scripts for other virtual machine types. The second time, it will run the VM as normal and attempt to boot from the filesystem. The first time it will run it will attempt to mount the installation ISO and boot the VM from it. To make life easier, I have a script that will run a Qemu virtual machine. Over the past two weeks, I've been setting up images so that I have machines ready to go. Occasionally I need a Solaris machine to do some testing.
