Hi guys,

i have Sun Netra T5220 with installed LDOM and i want to play with solaris 8 / solaris 9 installations in so called 'zones' :)
The thing is, i can't find anywhere 1 of 3 packages, needed for zones to run.
I was able to find these two on Solaris 10 dvd:
SUNWs9brandu
SUNWs9brandr

But i still need:
SUNWs9brandk

Same valid for solaris 8:
have:
SUNWs8brandu
SUNWs8brandr

need:
SUNWs8brandk

Can anyone help finding these packages (SUNWs8brandk, SUNWs9brandk) ?

Thanks a lot in advance!

P.S. apparently i cannot download from Oracle due to lack of license agreement.

Hello, you won’t find SUNWs8brandk or SUNWs9brandk on the standard Solaris 10 DVD. Those packages are part of the Solaris 8 Containers and Solaris 9 Containers products (typically version 1.0 / 1.0.1), which were distributed separately by Sun/Oracle.

To get them, you must download:

Solaris 8 Containers 1.0.x → provides SUNWs8brandk

Solaris 9 Containers 1.0.x → provides SUNWs9brandk

They were officially available via Oracle/Sun download sites (now usually restricted to support contracts). Without these container bundles, Solaris 8/9 branded zones cannot run.
