7.3 SunOS 5.X
7.3.2 Hardware Requirements
Solaris 2 runs only on SPARC computers. It will not run on Sun3s. Solaris 2.5 is supported on Sun4c, Sun4m, and Sun4u hardware, but not Sun4 hardware. Solaris 2.4 will run on all SPARC hardware except the newer UltraSPARCs (Sun4u). To run Solaris 2 the machine should have
- At least 16 MB of memory
- A minimum of 200 MB of hard disk space, with 400 MB required to install everything.
The machines can be
- Networked Standalone
- Dataless Client (root and swap on same disk)
- Diskless Client
- Homogeneous Server at SunOS 5.X (clients at same or lower release level)
- Heterogeneous Server at SunOS 5.X (clients at differing architecture at same or lower release level, including SunOS 4.1.1 or later)
A CDROM drive is required, either locally or on the subnet, to install the software.
