What is Solaris Certification?
In order to get support from Dell or Sun for Solaris on Dell PowerEdge servers, you must be using a certified server. Dell systems certified for Solaris have gone through rigorous testing standards as determined by the Hardware Certification Test Suite (HCTS). Dell systems listed on Sun's HCL as "certified" have been tested and validated by Dell and Sun engineering teams and have met the certification test criteria. Systems listed on Sun's HCL as "reported to work" have not been certified by Dell and Sun and are therefore not supported.
Sun and Dell first entered into an agreement for Solaris marketing by Dell in November, 2007, and announced it in a joint presentation by Sun CEO Jonathan Schwartz and Dell CEO Michael Dell at Oracle World.
