Did you have a look here to check if your hardware is compatible?

Try running it under a virtual machine, such as VirtualBox.

While this is a safe workaround, I wouldn't suggest going that way so soon.

Running Solaris 11.2 on bare metal will provide, if the hardware is supported, a better performance and also allow kernel zones which is a major Solaris 11.2 new feature.
