Testing x86 Hardware for Oracle Solaris Compatibility

See Solaris on x86 Platforms Device Support for the latest list of device support that comes built in to the Oracle Solaris OS.

On any x86 system, you can use the Installation Check Tool to determine quickly whether the system is likely to be able to install the Oracle Solaris OS.

The Hardware Certification Test Suite (HCTS) includes system certification tests, controller certification tests, a command-line interface , and a browser-based user interface. HCTS tests certify systems, motherboards, and various network, storage, and serial I/O controllers to work with the Oracle Solaris OS. HCTS collects log files, determines test pass or fail results, and generates a final test report. Hardware that passes HCTS certification testing is eligible to be included in the Hardware Compatibility List as Certified.
