You've seen this, right?

https://dcvan24.wordpress.com/2013/07/11/create-a-solaris-10-x86-image-for-openstack/

"*2. Install Solaris*

First of all, create a QCOW2 image. There are several installation options
for Solaris 10, but believe me you want a developer’s installation. You
want bash, you want SSH, say yes… A developer’s installation needs about
6GB space, so it’s safe to create a image larger than 6GB
1
qemu-img create -f qcow2 solaris.qcow2 7G

Then you need a libvirt.xml file to start the VM. libvirt.xml is a
configuration file for a VM. You can define everything about the VM in this
file, including the number of cores, memory size, disk, network, etc. The
following listing is a template of libvirt.xml used for Solaris
installation."

Yeah, I have tried it, thanks. With this approach also its getting stuck at
very first stage(i.e Configure devices) of install process.
Earlier I was trying on a virtualized KVM box. Now I am trying one bare
metal. Let's see.

Re: [Openstack] Solaris on openstack

2017-08-14 Thread John van Ommen 
Take a look at this:
 https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Solaris_Guests

And this:
https://www.linux-kvm.org/page/Guest_Support_Status#UNIX_Family:_Solaris.2FOpenSolaris

In a nutshell, it looks like all versions of Solaris 10 have various issues
running under kvm but there are workarounds.

Some releases require modification of the grub parameters to get Solaris to
boot under kvm.

Re: [Openstack] Solaris on openstack

2017-08-14 Thread Volodymyr Litovka 

Hi Shyam,

Openstack control infrastructure (hypervisors, networking, storage, 
etc), not guest VMs. So, it's rather question to hypervisor (e.g. KVM) 
whether it support Solaris as guest OS.

Check the supported guest OS on the  hypervisor that you are using.
