Hi,
I'm having trouble installing Solaris 10 using Server 2.0.2. I need Solaris 10 for dev/testing purposes. I don't have a spare 64-bit machine to run the latest vSphere Hypervisor 5.1 so I thought I would try Server 2.0.2 since it co-exists with Windows and supports Solaris 10.
I have a Intel Core i5, 8GB, running Win 7 Home Premium 64-bit. I'm able to create a Virtual Machine in Web Access. Event log says the VM is powered on and I see some DVD disk access but Solaris never gets installed. I've tried using ISO image and DVD-ROM disc. Same results. Also tried creating 32-bit and 64-bit Solaris 10 installation. Nothing. I was under the assumption, OS installation would start once the VM was powered on.
Since Web Access doesn't show any major failures alerts, I'm assuming there isn't a hardware issue???
I've included the VMware log file for reference. Hopefully I'm not missing something obvious.
Thanks kindly for your help,
