Operating Systems Solaris Found a Sun Ultra 10 Elite3D workstation, and it boots to a login screen. How can I reset the OS? Post 302837749 by DukeNuke2 on Friday 26th of July 2013 03:39:14 PM

setup a boot server in a virtual environment and install solaris over the network. and yes, you can install solaris for sparc from a x86 solaris boot server.

after booting over network you have two options:

- reset the root password for the machine and run "sysunconfig" to make a reset of the installation (network, name, ...)
- install solris 10 and start from scratch

you can find the documentation for solaris (and on how to install it) on docs.oracle.com
