Solaris 10 UNIX-based Operating System

Related to the Solaris 10 UNIX-based Operating System. Also known as "SunOS 5.10". Initially released by Sun Microsystems in 2005 and now maintained by Oracle as of 2010. The operating system supports both "SPARC" and "x86"-based CPU architecture, however those tags should only be used when a question depends on functionality specifically related to those CPU architectures.

Example of "Solaris-10" topics that would benefit from "SPARC" or "x86" tags

  • OpenBoot PROM (OBP) settings (SPARC)
  • Boot-device configuration (SPARC or x86)
  • Hardware diagnostics (SPARC or x86)
