Re: [Qemu-discuss] Sparc64 / Solaris 11 on Linux / X86-64 Host

[Roy Laurie]

I found the -M flag in the documentation and changed the command to:

sparc64-softmmu/qemu-system-sparc64 -m 1G -nographic -cdrom /home/rlaurie/download/sol-11_1-text-sparc.iso -hda /tmp/sol.img -boot d -M sun4v

I get this result:

OpenBIOS for Sparc64

-M Niagara doesn't get to the OpenBIOS screen, I get an immediate dump.

I'm trying to emulate a Solaris 11 Sparc64 guest on a 64bit Ubuntu host (or any Linux OS). It seems that a lot of the documentation that I've found on the web is for earlier versions of Solaris on QEMU, so I'm not sure if I'm doing everything right.

I've already cloned and compiled qemu from master, using: ./configure --target-list="sparc64-softmmu"

I run this command:

sparc64-softmmu/qemu-system-sparc64 -m 1G -nographic -cdrom /home/rlaurie/download/sol-11_1-text-sparc.iso -hda /tmp/sol.img -boot d

Is there a way to emulate one of the later CPU models from the Sparc M or T series?
