Hello
I desperately need to have Solaris 7.0 sparc as a virtual machine I have a (proprietary software that only runs on Solaris 7.0 sparc and the upgrade costs a lot). Can vmware help me?
Suggestions are most welcome.
Many thanks
Ed
No, it's not supported.
To run Solaris Sparc you would need an emulator and not a virtualisation solution. QEMU should be able to do this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QEMU
Here's some information about Sparc: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SPARC
Maybe this help ?
Many thanks. It seems that qemu is the answer as one can see at http://brezular.wordpress.com/2012/02/12/installation-solaris-sparc-2-6-sunos-5-6-on-qemu-part-1-qem...
Cheers
