A customer of mine is still using Solaris 8, now I have a product which requires testing against this OS, however looking at Oracle, they merely provide 10 and 11. Is it possible to find Solaris 8 for download (x86) still? Or is it a lost cause?

Solaris 8 was last shipped on February 16, 2007. You can only get patches for it until end of march 2012 after which it will reach its end of service life. Adobe photoshop cc mac.

You would need a valid developer account and/or maintenance agreement with Oracle. I do not believe those are free.

Solaris 8 was only released for the SPARC architecture. Your best bet is to contact Oracle and see if they will sell you any CDs. You should be able to pick up a SPARC machine capable of running Solaris 8 on the second user market. For software package etc there is always sunfreeware.com.

Have you tried running their existing binaries on Solaris 10? ideally it should run as Solaris provides 'Binary Gurantee' which means binaries compiled for old version of OS should run on new version os OS without a recompiling.

Branded zones are solaris 8 or solaris 9 containers created in a solaris 10 Global zone. By default any non-global zone shares the global zone kernel and has same characteristics as the global zone kernel. But in case of branded zone, BrandZ framework extends the Solaris Zones infrastructure to include the creation of brands, which in turn can be used to create different operating environments to accommodate solaris 8 or solaris 9 Operating systems as non-global zones. The post describes the creation of a Branded zone on Solaris 10 Global zone.

Software Requirements

1. Make sure the release of Solaris 10 Global zone is equal to or higher than Solaris 10_U6.

2. Solaris 8 and 9 container software
The required Solaris 8 and 9 container softwares to be downloaded and installed on Solaris 10 with their patch names are :

Solaris Container softwarePatch Name to download
Solaris 9 Containers 1.0.1 SPARC – 64 bit11842137
Solaris 9 Containers 1.0.1 SPARC – 32 bit11842136
Solaris 8 Containers 1.0.1 SPARC – 64 bit11702874
Solaris 8 Containers 1.0.1 SPARC – 32 bit11702873

3. Required packages
The required packages that needs to be installed on Solaris 10 are :

Solaris 8 PackagesSUNWs8brandr, SUNWs8brandu, SUNWs8brandk
Solaris 9 PackagesSUNWs9brandr, SUNWs9brandu, SUNWs9brandk

Now, most of the above mentioned software requirements may be already fulfilled. Make sure you have all the necessary packages and softwares.

I would be creating a Solaris 8 branded zone. The procedure for Solaris 9 branded is exactly similar to Solaris 8 branded zone.

Creating Flar image

The first thing is to create the flar image from the physical Solaris 8 machine.

Configuring the branded zone

Now we can start configuring the solaris 8 branded zone on the Solaris 10 Global zone.

Installing the Branded Zone

Once we are done with configuring the branded zone, we can start installing the zone. During the installation of the branded zone a physical-to-virtual conversion is automatically performed.

Booting the Branded zone

Now we can boot the installed branded zone.

Complete the setup

Finally, login into the console of the branded zone to do the final configuration settings as we do when we first time login into a newly created Solaris 10 zone.
