Visit the
Hardware Compatibility List (HCL) to determine
requirements for x86 systems.
For Sun SPARC systems, please see the
Solaris 9 Sun Hardware Platform Guide on
docs.sun.com.
In general, the Solaris 8 and 9 Operating Systems run on the same Sun
systems as the Solaris 2.5.1, 2.6 and 7 Operating Systems, with the exception of 600MP, SPARCstation Voyager, and SPARCstation 1/1+/2/IPC/IPX/ELC/SLC systems.
In addition, the Solaris 9 OS does not run on SPARCcenter 2000 or
SPARCserver 1000 systems.
Customers who need to run the Solaris 8 OS on Sun system models introduced after May 2002 may require a platform-specific release; please see the documentation associated with those systems for details.
