Thanks Having tried to install 10g Release 1 (10.1.0.3) for Solaris x86 it transpires that the install does not support Solaris 10. Guess I willl need to wait for 10R2 for Solaris x86, which I would hope would support Solaris 10 John -----Original Message----- From: Jesse, Rich [mailto:Rich.Jesse@xxxxxx] Sent: 02 August 2006 19:29 To: jdunn@xxxxxxxxx; oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: Anyone running Oracle10 on Solaris 10 under VMWare Workstation? First, if you're using "normal Intel Windows 2000 server", you'll need to check to see if the CPUs are really 64-bit or not. That will determine what version of Solaris to run, which will determine which version of Oracle to run, Solaris x86 or Solaris x86-64. HTH! GL!

I need some clarification on createing a Solaris 10 VM to host Oracle 10. The only non Sparc version of Oracle available seems to be 10g Release 1 (10.1.0.3) for Solaris Operating System x86-64. Is this correct? In order to host this do I need to create a Solaris 10-64 bit VM? Do I need any special hardware to host a Solaris 10-64 VM? Our host is a normal Intel Windows 2000 server?
