As promised, here is what I did to get Nevada installed in Parallels. It is neither fast, nor pretty, but it works.
I started out by creating a new VM, using defaults for everything but the CD, which I set to my DVD image of Solaris 10 update 2.
Once I booted the VM, I selected "Solaris" from the GRUB menu, and then option 4, "Solaris Interactive Text (Console session)".
After that I complete the Solaris installation as usual.
Note that I create a partition exactly as big as the / partition on slice 3.
This will later be uses to for live upgrade, to get from Solaris 10 update 2
to Nevada build 42a.
When the system reboots, I stop the VM and set the CD to the file
/Library/Parallels/Tools/vmtools.iso and boot the VM.
Then select Xorg instead of Xsun, and once the boot completes configure it as follows:
- PS/2 mouse
- Emulate 3 buttons: n
- Mouse device: default (/dev/kdmouse)
- Keyboard: generic 104-key PC
- U.S. English
- Keyboard layout: default
- Additional XBD options: no
- 31.5 - 82.0; Monitor that can do 1280x1024 @ 76 Hz
- vert sync: 3. 50 - 100
- Generic VESA compatible
- 4096K
- Default depth 16 bits
# cd /cdrom/prltools/drivers/network/rtl8029/solaris # ./network.sh Extracting driver... Compiling driver... Installing driver... Will you receive IP addresses from DHCP server (Y/N) y Configuring DHCP client... Network has been successfully configured. Please reboot your operating system.
Now I halt the system and stop the VM. I replace the Solaris 10 update 2 DVD image with my Nevada build 42a DVD image, and boot the VM again. Onc you have logged in, it is time to setup live upgrade. I start by removing the Solaris 10 LiveUpgrade packages, as they know nothing about Nevada and how it works:
# pkgrm SUNWluu SUNWlur

IMPORTANT NOTICE
Patches Needed to Run Solaris Live Upgrade
Correct operation of Solaris Live Upgrade requires that a limited set of
patch revisions be installed for SunOS 5.10 for the i386 platform.
Before installing or running Live Upgrade, you are required to install a
limited set of patch revisions. Make sure you have the most recently
updated patch list by consulting sunsolve.sun.com. Search for the info doc
72099 on the SunSolve(tm) web site.
Live Upgrade may fail to work properly if the latest limited set
of patch revisions are not installed on this system.

When you have the new LiveUpgrade packages installed, you can create the new boot environment:

Now you have Nevada installed in Parallels, but to run it you have to activate the boot environment and then reboot (you must use init):
# luactivate nv_b42a # init 6
I will try to get a Nevada image up on the Solaris on Parallels page some day.
