Hi Folks, I have downloaded an ISO image of sun Solaris 5.10 sparc 64 bits form the oracle website but unable to burn it on dvd as a bootable disk. I tried it using 'power iso' and 'ultr-iso' but getting an error msg as 'non bootable image'. Mary King Riding Star Pc Download. However I still burned it as a bootable disk and tried to boot from the DVD but it’s not working. Can you please help me from where to download the ISO and how to boot from it on a standalone server? Hoping for a quick response.

Download Sun Solaris 10 Iso Select download x86 dvd. I want to burn Solaris 10 for x86 dvd.iso and Solaris 10 companion dvd.iso in a DVD. I use 'copy /b sol-10-GA.

No, it's not like installing Windows 2003 today. Oracle will support Solaris 10 through January, 2021, which means they plan to support it longer than Microsoft got stuck supporting XP. I agree if there is no requirement to install 10 then Farhan should go with 11, but please don't make a statement like this.

If you feel 11 is a better fit, you should say something other than '10 is very old'. The three things I can say about 11 that might make it a better choice are: 1- It looks and feels like Linux in many ways so it will be an easy transition for people who are already familiar. 2- For dedicated infrastructure servers, there are less required packages for the base OS than with previous versions of Solaris so it can run leaner.

3- Solaris 11 supports more x86 hardware than any other version of Solaris. Three things I can say about 10 that might make it a better choice are: 1- It has much better native backup tools. 2- It is a ridiculously stable platform.

3- It runs better on older hardware because it has less than half the memory requirements than 11, which is a RAM hog by comparison. If you have Dell or HP servers, you can download the ISO for Solaris x86. It runs very well on these machines and supports almost all available hardware. Oracle does not support 32-bit OS so they no longer make the distinction between x86 and x64. The x86 image is the 64-bit OS. Solaris 10 and 11 are very different. 11 is not just an updated version of 10 -- many things have changed in the kernel and supporting services.

The Solaris 10 image contains a graphical interactive installer that will fall to text mode if your hardware is not supported by drivers on the miniroot. For Solaris 11 there are several images you can download. One is a text installer. One is a 'Live-CD' image that includes a chance to explore the OS before installing and includes a graphical install program. There are also Automated Installer and Repository images. DO NOT download one of these - they are intended for provisioning machines on your network AFTER you have installed Solaris 11 on a designated install server.

When you download the ISO, DO NOT burn it with 'bootable' option - burn it as a DVD from ISO. The Solaris CD format contains several partitions with different filesystem types, and using this option will contaminate the image.

Also, do not use dual layer DVDs. Scott Alan Miller wrote: farhan.ziya wrote: There is no reason of using version 5.10 but one of our employee has mentioned in his email to install this version.
