Do you have any other Sparc platforms??? You can virtualize Solaris 8 on a Solaris 10 platform. The requirement to move a Solaris 8 system off creaking hardware that might fail is quite common and this is well catered for. However, you need to know the Sun/Oracle terminology for all this stuff in order to find the necessary information on the web. I can detail all this in a following post if you have other more modern Sparc hardware that you want to move to. If you don't, then I'd be wasting me time in doing that.
Yes, QEMU as suggested by Neo is an option but, in my experience, using emulation (to translate the Sparc instruction set into x86 instructions) is very slow and a bit of a nightmare to configure. In many situations it's not practical.
So question is, what more modern Sparc hardware do you have?

Hello all,
For my internship assignment I have a Sunfire 880 at my disposal for comparing virtualization with the normal mostly Windows based servers in the company.
Are there any applications like VirtualBox or Vmware that can be used on a Sparc-system equipped with Solaris 10?

8. Solaris
Hi everyone,
I have ten servers with solaris (diffrent versions).
there is solaris 10, solaris 6 and solaris 8.
some are SPARC and some are x86
I would like to move them to one server so they all will be virtual.
Is it possible? how? (4 Replies)

ddi_intr_get_supported_types
ddi_intr_get_supported_types(9F) ddi_intr_get_supported_types(9F)
NAME
ddi_intr_get_supported_types - return information on supported hardware interrupt types
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/conf.h>
#include <sys/ddi.h>
#include <sys/sunddi.h>
int ddi_intr_get_supported_types(dev_info_t *dip, int *typesp);
INTERFACE LEVEL
Solaris DDI specific (Solaris DDI)
dip Pointer to dev_info structure
typesp Pointer to supported interrupt types
The ddi_intr_get_supported_types() function retrieves the interrupt types supported by a particular hardware device and by the system soft-
ware. Upon successful return, the supported types are returned as a bit mask in the integer pointed to by the typesp argument. See
<sys/ddi_intr.h> for a list of interrupts that can be returned by a hardware device.
For PCI devices that support MSI and/or MSI-X based hardware, this interface returns only the interrupt types that are supported by all the
hardware in the path to the hardware device.
An interrupt type is usable by the hardware device if it is returned by the ddi_intr_get_supported_types() function. The device driver can
be programmed to use one of the returned interrupt types to receive hardware interrupts.
The ddi_intr_get_supported_types() function returns:
DDI_SUCCESS On success.
DDI_EINVAL On encountering invalid input parameters.
DDI_INTR_NOTFOUND Returned when the hardware device is found not to support any hardware interrupts.
CONTEXT
The ddi_intr_get_supported_types() function can be called from user or kernel non-interrupt context.
See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:
+-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
| ATTRIBUTE TYPE | ATTRIBUTE VALUE |
+-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
|Interface Stability |Evolving |
+-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
pci(4), attributes(5), pcmcia(7D), sysbus(4), ddi_intr_add_handler(9F), ddi_intr_alloc(9F), ddi_intr_enable(9F)
The ddi_intr_get_supported_types() function can be called by the device driver even at any time if the driver has added an interrupt han-
dler for a given interrupt type.
Soft interrupts are always usable and are not returned by this interface.
Any consumer of this interface should verify that the return value is not equal to DDI_SUCCESS. Incomplete checking for failure codes could
result in inconsistent behavior among platforms.
