Hey Guys

I have available sf v480 and I would like use it as a Vitrual Server
and with other guest OS on it.

Anyone know such a product? I know ESX can do so.. what about vmware
server? So far I dont see you can do it.

Thanks
Joe

vmware stuff doesn't run on sparc hardware.

I don't think VMware supports SPARC. In fact I'm not aware of any
virtualisation for SPARC at that level, other than Sun's LDoms, which
requires Niagara/Rock family processors (sun4v?). You can use zones,
but they are not the same thing.

I would like to use a basic alchemy system to convert plain dirt into
solid gold. Anyone know how I can do this? Thanks in advance.


Sorry, I couldn't help it

The cost of converting lead into gold is greater than the worth of the
resulting gold so I would say converting dirt would be even more of a
losing proposition.

I imagine the cost of creating x86 emulation software for SPARC
hardware is greater than the cost of new x86 hardware, likewise a
losing proposition.

Actually, the cost is free (yeah open source!):

http://bochs.sourceforge.net/

and QEMU though it's support for sparc32 (I'm guessing they mean sparcv8) is not
complete.

http://fabrice.bellard.free.fr/qemu/

And the OP doesn't necessarily want x86 virtualization on SPARC, maybe they
would like to run Ubuntu/SPARC inside (on-top-of) Solaris/SPARC, which you can
do with QEMU.

You can try Innoteks virtualbox, which is now owned by SUN.
