Confirm Relation between Solaris 9 and SunOS 5.9

[Former Member]

Hello,

I want to install ECC 6.0 on Oracle/Solaris.

For ECC 6.0 installation ,service.sap.com/pam mentions solaris version should be SOLARIS/SPARC 9 or SOLARIS/SPARC 10 .

On my Solaris Server, when I execute "uname -a" i get,

" SunOS 5.9 Sun4u Spac .. ".

I found following information about relation between Solaris and SunOs release,

Solaris 10 --> SunOS 5.10

Solaris 9 --> SunOS 5.9

Solaris 8 --> SunOS 5.8

Solaris 7 --> SunOS 5.7

Conclusion : So, as per above data, My OS version SunOS 5.9 corresponds to Solaris 9 which can support ECC 6.0 as per PAM.So installation is supported.

I would like to confirm above conclusion.

Please share your views.

Yes.

SunOS is the "old term" for the operating system.

On September 4, 1991, Sun announced that it would replace its existing BSD-derived Unix, SunOS 4, with one based on SVR4. This was identified internally as SunOS 5, but a new marketing name was introduced at the same time: Solaris 2.[4] While SunOS 4.1.x micro releases were retroactively named Solaris 1 by Sun, the Solaris name is almost exclusively used to refer to the SVR4-derived SunOS 5.0 and later
