Some resurgent interest in Solaris has made me check what I still have. Here as ever are my notes …

What I have found

I found an x86 version of the .iso, U6 GA1, see below for the URLs. Pre-Oracle takeover binaries for Solaris are hard to come by it seems, I have posted sol-10-u6-ga1-x86-dvd.iso (https) which I found on my hard disk and also as a torrent, sol-10-u6-ga1-x86.torrent, this should be Solaris 10, Update 6 for x86.

  1. sol-10-u6-ga1-x86-dvd.iso (https)
  2. sol-10-u6-ga1-x86.torrent (.torrent)

I also have an iso for OSolaris 09/06, which needs to be published.

Nexenta

I found something called Open Solaris starter pack which among other things had an early release of Nexenta. NB this is now 15 years old, but I had a look to see what had happened to Nexenta. NB They got bought. On their current site,

  1. nexentastor-community-edition-4-0-2
  2. https://nexenta.com/downloads free to trial, not sure if they have a time limit manager.

I have an iso for version 2 and it is also on the starterpack DVD.

Illumos

This is what Solaris engineering rescued from the enclosure of Solaris.
