There is no operating system called "Solaris 10g". There's an OS
called Solaris 10 and a database called Oracle 10g. I know Oracle Corp
has taken over Sun Microsystems, but they have not come up with an
integrated product called "Solaris 10g".

No. Solaris is way different from AIX. The way solaris sees its
devices (c0t1d4, lan0) is different from AIX (hdisk0, ent0). On
Solaris, LVM is not compulsory. On AIX, you cannot have a running
system without rootvg. To start services on AIX, you use startsrc. On
Solaris, you use svcs. To install software (filesets) on AIX, you use
installp. On Solaris, you install software (packages) using pkgadd.

These are just a few differences. Even their boot processes and
runlevels differ. That means you can't troubleshoot AIX even if you
have an excellent understanding of Solaris.

If you still want to install Solaris 10, google is your friend for the docs.
