Got a Solaris 9 version but I understand this wont work on Solaris 10?

If not, is the Sol10 version available for download?

Have you tried it? The product is old but still supported, to you could
try Oracle.

Was there one? I think this product pre-dates Solaris 10.

If all else fails, you can always P-to-V the Solaris 9 system in a
branded zone.

Yes, the original Solstice OSI 9.0 was not installable on Solaris 10.
This was documented in

Sun Alert ID: 57747
Synopsis: Solstice OSI 9.0, FTAM 9.0 and CMIP 9.0 do not
install on Solaris 10

There was a Solaris 10 installable RevB available for download at:

http://javashoplm.sun.com/ECom/docs/Welcome.jsp?StoreId=8&PartDetailId=Solstice-OSI-9.0-G-F&TransactionId=try

But unfortunately this URL is no longer working :-(
AFAIK Oracle does no longer support Solstice OSI 9.0 for Solaris.

If the Oracle support cannot help you here then you can contact me at
rtitze-dot-abos-at-gmail-dot-com for further help.

Oracle does have a version of OSI 9.0 that will install and run on
Solaris 10. If it's a new S10 installation, you will need to purchase
a license.
If it's an upgrade from a previous version of Solaris, the old license
key will/should work.

You will, of course, need a contract/MOS login to get any of this.

Hope that helps : )

Since found out there was a Rev A and now a Rev B version (for Solaris 10). I've got Rev A on CD but not Rev B.

In article <adjdip...@mid.individual.net>,
Several parts of it use kernel drivers, which won't work
in a branded zone, and it's not supported in a branded zone.

If you are on support, I would suggest you try asking them,
as I think support entitles you to the upgrades.
On Solaris 10, you are expected to apply the patch to
disable the FlexLM licencing, which you would need support
to obtain.
