Hi, Does Oracle certifies the environments based on VMWare virtualization for Solaris 11? Does it support for Solaris 11 on VMware platform?
Appreciate your help. Thanks.
*** Moved to VirtualBox for better question alignment as "Documentation" is not the correct space to ask such a question - let me know if there's a more suitable Virtual product space and I can move it again if needed.
Can someone please answer above query? Thanks.
Hi.
Read this:

Some parts from this Doc.
Q: Can I install Oracle Solaris 11 into a virtual environment?
A: Yes. Oracle Solaris 11 is a supported guest operating system on Oracle VM Server for SPARC, Oracle VM Server for x86, and Oracle VM VirtualBox. Oracle Solaris 11 is known to work on a number of other third-party virtualization offerings from vendors including VMware, Microsoft, and Red Hat.
So Solaris 11 work on VmWare platform, but not supported.
Regards,
Nik.
Yes, it is supported.

Solaris 11 can run in VMware; however, only the x86_64 variant - as VMware does not have the ability to emulate SPARC architecture.
I suggest looking at VMware Sites for further information and support with installing Solaris 11 x86_64 as a guest virtual machine on VMware.
