Solaris 8 and SunFire v445
[244 byte] By [javu] at [2007-11-26 11:19:14] 
Hello,I need information about compatibility and limitations for Solaris 8running in a SunFire v445.Looking into v445 specifications I found only suppports Solaris 9 & 10.Is it that correct ? Thanks
# 1
To be specific the 445 only supports solaris 9 9/05 HW aka solaris 9 9/06.
Or solaris 10 6/06 aka solaris 10u2.
Both of those OS versions were only just released just as the 445 hardware was just released.
Why would you expect an OS released about 5 years ago to support just released hardware?

Solaris 8 on the V445 platform ?
... not going to happen.
Here's a recent discussion from the Hardware Forum.

In particular, see the 11-Oct-06 response in that thread, from contributor Maalatft.
