Sun (when they were still Sun) came here 6 months ago and claimed they were doing SPARC-Solaris IaaS cloud offerings, but I sure can't find it on their web site.

Org Subject: Re: [BBLISA] How to Virtualize Sparc Solaris 8 Ahhh... The tricky part is not how to install solaris 8 ... The tricky part is emulating the sparc processor on intel hardware. Maybe I have to buy a modern sparc system... Or more likely, I'm back to getting an old $150 box from craigslist instead of a new $10k server that'll be used for 20 minutes a year ... Does anybody offer Sparc cloud servers? Rent a box for 1 hour, pay Two Dollars. That would be nice... I'll have to poke around and see if I can find somewhere now ... I have seen some articles suggesting qemu for sparc emulation, and I've seen as many articles saying how horribly it doesn't work. I think I'll try it at least a little bit, so I can say I made the effort, didn't leave that stone unturned ...

Org Subject: Re: [BBLISA] How to Virtualize Sparc Solaris 8 Hi Ned, The "official" way is to install a Solaris 8 container within Solaris 10. Note that this is a commercial solution - you have to pay for S8 support and S10 support on the box on which you do this. --Peter On 2/25/10 7:37 PM, "Edward Ned Harvey" <[email protected]> wrote: Working at semiconductor companies, it seems to be a common request, that we need to obtain some sparc solaris 8 machine to run a memory compiler. In the past, I've solved this by begging local IT depts for their garbage, and build one of these machines. I'd very much like to improve this. Does anybody know of any way to create a sparc solaris 8 machine modern day? Whether virtual or otherwise ... Preferably virtual.
