What is the license status of this? Solaris 10 is available at no charge, but requires an entitlement obtained through registration; can this appliance be used without registration? (Does Sun know about this?)

I've seen that URL, and, especially with the answer to question 3 therein, I think there's still an issue on which we need some guidance from VMware.

I get

panic: cannot open kernel/amd64/unix

when I try to use this. Does it support the AMD dual core chip?

Hello,

When they system is booting select > Solaris Failsafe

When you get the prompt to auto update boot archives select y

when you get the prompt

cd /
ls

we are looking for a file called reconfigure if it is there then

/usr/sbin/init 6

if it is not there then

touch /reconfigure

/usr/sbin/init 6

This should reconfigure the system to see your AMD processor.

Sorry, I should have looked.

I've not seen .rar before. What are the install steps?

Host: WinXP64 on dual Opterons
VMware Server 1.0.0 build-28343

I do have Solaris 10 running, but your packaging looks interesting.

Hello,

RAR compression information can be found here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAR

I downloaded the trial here http://www.rarlab.com/rar/wrar351.exe

Ok lets see if we can force it to reconfigure /devives and /dev

This makes sure the file system is read/write

mount -f ufs -o remount,rw,nologging /devices/ramdisk:a /

Commands to reconfigure dev and devices

/usr/sbin/drvconfig
/usr/sbin/devlinks
/usr/sbin/disks
/usr/sbin/ports
/usr/sbin/tapes
/usr/sbin/audlinks

/usr/sbin/devfsadm -C

init 6

Hopefully this will force picking up the AMD processor.

Hi,

I am interested to test this applicance, but I cant use Bittorrents at work, some of the authors provide a direct link.
Is there a direct link for this one ?
