Problem Finding Solaris 8 Update 7
Hi,
I am trying to install "Sun Java Availability Suite"
java_es_05Q4_cluster-ga-solaris-sparc.zip
On my Solaris 8 box. I've applied the latest Solaris 8 Patch clusters and the "Java ES Required OS Patch for Solaris 8". When i run the installer for Sun Cluster, the System Check runs and I get the following report
"Sun Cluster
Solaris 8 Update 7 is the minimum requirement for installing Sun Cluster Software"
My problem is that I cannot find "Solaris 8 Update 7", all i can find are dead links. Can anyone give me any advice, or a link to "Solaris 8 Update 7".
Many Thanks

"Solaris 8, Update 7" is the Operating Environment distribution from February 2002.
It is otherwise reffered to as "Solaris 8 HW 2/02"

You must <u>install</u> the distribution, you cannot patch your way to get there.
Your error message is telling you that you are not running a supported OS, for the Sun Java AS that you hope to run.
If you have access to a computer with a CD burner drive, you can download the two disk images and create your own set of media.

Again, you will need to install that OS.
Build your computer all over again.
