How accurate is the HCL for Solaris 10?

I have a Sun Ultra 5 that is running Solaris 8. I believe I meet the minimum requirements for Solaris 10 but the Ultra 5 is not on the HCL.

This will be my first ever Solaris upgrade so do I follow the HCL guidelines?

The HCL implies that stuff on the list works. It is not that stuff not on the list fails. That said, the Ultra-5 is deep into the End-of-Life cycle. I doubt that Sun is going to support Solaris 10 on it.

Thanks so much for the reply. I'm not sure I could even get support on this current box. I purchased it from a friend so I could have something to practice on.

Note that Solaris 10 is supported on Ultra 5 (you may need to log into sunsolve to see this page)

Interesting. I might have been looking at the wrong HCL. Thanks for the link.
