That's a creative thought, but I don't think that accomplishes what forextrafun wants to do.

He already has two Sparc boxes (EOS 2012) he wants to get rid of as part of his consolidation efforts, because he says, "2 remaining solaris 8 servers are on sparc architecture".

Replacing two obsolete Sparc boxes (EOS 2012) with two Sparc boxes may not help him if his goal (in the first post) to get rid of his "last two remaining Sparc boxes.".

I think he wants to get completely off Sparc architecture completely and consolidate on X86 (assumed in my first reply), based on this first post and follow up replies. That is why he wants to "virtualize", I think; but since he did not state that clearly, it's hard to tell his ultimate motivation.

However, if they continue to run and support other Sparc servers, then virtualizing Solaris 8 on Solaris 10 might be a great idea, for sure, since Solaris 10 is EOS 2024.

DESCRIPTION

       install-solaris(1M) is now the preferred command for starting and restarting the Solaris Installation program. It should be used instead of
