Will a V245 run solaris8?
Will a V245 run solaris8?
I know that the product information states it will run solaris 9 and 10.
Unfortunately I have application software that uses openwin on Solaris 8.
Before spending the time to change everything to motif or re-write for CDE or Gnome, I wanted to see if the product info was just geared to trying to make customers go to solaris10.
Any information would be appreciated.
Thanks
ps: I had run Solaris 8 on the V125 and it was fine and both systems have the same architecture.
I downloaded both data sheets from the sun website and didn't see anything in particular that I thought would stop Solaris 8 from running on a V245.

no, it won't....

the V125 is the last SunFire that runs solaris 8... actually the V125 is not really a new machine, just a new chassis...

internal SAS drives?
onboard PCIe (doesn't even work with solaris 9)

the v210 (1/2006) is over 10 months older than the v125 (10/2006)... so the v125 is the LAST mashine that runs solaris 8!
