Installing Multiple Solaris OS Versions on the Same Hard Disk for x86 and SPARC Platforms
Posted by: jaye on Jan 01, 2008 - 01:00 AM
Sun Microsystems Need to run different Solaris versions on one machine? This tech tip (from sun.com) shows how to partition disk slices and install multiple Solaris versions.

William Xue, October 2007

Most of the time, Solaris developers and testers need to install and work on different versions of the Solaris OS, but not everyone has enough machines to install each version of the Solaris OS on a separate machine. However, you can install multiple Solaris versions on the same hard disk to save resources.

Here, I show you how to install multiple versions of the Solaris OS on the same disk. In my example, I install three Solaris versions: Solaris 9, Solaris 10, and Solaris Nevada (or Solaris Developer Express Edition/SXDE).

Actually, using the same method I present in this article, you can install the same Solaris version but different builds, for example, Nevada Builds 55, 66, and 73, or you can even install the same version of Solaris tree copies on the same disk.
