My opinion is that the best way how to try solaris operating system is to install some of virtualization software and try it there.
I took well known VMware 6. I was very surprised that there was implemented Solaris 10 support. Because I had SXDE 1/08 I selected it. I installed SXDE through CommandLine installer without any serious problems. My network connection inside VMware was selected to NAT.
This is very quick report about installation of BrandZ on SXDE 1/08.
After I decided to install BrandZ on to my SXDE 1/08 I needed to get over few issues. I tried to following the installations steps on the official site ( installation steps ).
After I had configured Branded Zone I downloaded CentOS tarball . Then I tried to install lx Zone but I wasn't successful. Every time I did it I got FAILED result after few minutes.
In the fullness of time I got solution
My Zone was installed but it wasn't configured. Like SUPERUSER I had to do run this script.
/usr/lib/brand/lx/lx_init_zone /space/myzone_root/root /tmp/x
/usr/lib/brand/lx/lx_init_zone <my zone place/root> <Log>
Then I had to setup that my zone was installed inside information file for all zones.
file: /etc/zones/index
I changed status of my zone to installed
After this everything started working properly
