我的x86系统可以安装Solaris或者OpenSolaris吗?

初看起来这个问题似乎要在安装完系统,尝试使用系统的每一个功能或查看系统的demsg信息,逐一做出记录,才能回答。但是今天我找到了一个很好的工具,可以在安装SolarisOpenSolaris之前就可以确定某个x86系统是否可以安装Solaris或者OpenSolaris,哪些设备是有驱动支持的,哪些设备是第三方驱动支持的,而哪些设备是没有驱动支持的。

这个工具就是Solaris Express Check Tool 1.1 (http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/hcl/hcts/install_check_sx.html)。下载该工具的ios image,将其刻录到一张CD光盘上,将光盘放入系统光驱中,启动系统并从光盘启动。这一连串的动作之后,Solaris Express Check Tool会在屏幕上打印出系统中的设备,以及设备的驱动支持情况,可以通过输入u,将结果打包到USB移动硬盘上。

下面是我使用工具在我的Software Development Platform上测试的情况:
