I've been working on virtualizing some SPARC workstations running SunOS
& Solaris.
I've managed to get the SPARC-20 workstations done (basically, using
this http://kb.networksystemssolutions.info/index.php/Sparc_Virtualization).
However, the Ultra-2 workstations are not so easy and just crash o
to select this on the sparc64 just gives an error that it is not
supported on this emulation.
Any other thoughts ?

Like you, I was setting HostIDs for LM.
However, if your original machine is a SS-20, selecting this machine
type and then setting the MAC address to match the original machine,
will give you the original host ID. It is a combination of the host
type (SS-20) and the MAC address. If you use
Hi Max,
What options do you need ?
Using :
-net nic,macaddr=00:80: -M SS-20 (for a
SPARC-20)
Will get the host ID to match whatever your original SPARC box had and
that will satisfy lmgrd.
If you need SCSI IDs properly set (e.g. disk and CD to correct place),
normally disks are SCSI ID 3
Here's some notes I'd done about 2.6.

You need a legitimate copy of Solaris CD - I don't recommend using some
random Solaris download.
You can image your Sparc system disk by transferring it to another
machine (e.g. your
For my SunOS VMs, I redirect the serial console on the VM to an IPv4
Socket with :
-serial tcp::10023,server,nowait
I can then telnet to the serial console (telnet 10023) and
don't need to worry about the speed etc.
SunOS looks for a graphic device and if it is not found, it will then

Thanks this seems to be the solution. But A problem remains, what is the speed

the serial interface in the guest? I will probably try to install FreeBSD
