Page 176, Minimum System Requirements Updated to reflect Solaris 10 9/10
For UFS file systems, the memory requirements are as follows.
For SPARC systems:
384 MB is the minimum memory required.
512 MB is the recommended memory.
For x86 systems:
768 MB is the minimum memory required.
1 GB is the recommended memory.
In previous Solaris releases, you could not install and boot the Solaris OS from a disk that was greater than 1 terabyte in size. Starting with the Solaris 10 10/09 release, you can install and boot the Solaris OS from a disk that is up to 2 TB in size.
Starting with the Solaris 10 10/09 release, you can use the VTOC label on a disk of any size, but the addressable space by the VTOC is limited to 2 TB. This feature allows disks that are larger than 2 TB to be used as boot drives, but the usable space from the label is limited to 2 TB.
For ZFS root pools in SPARC and x86 systems:
768 MB is the minimum memory.
1 GB of memory is recommended for overall ZFS performance
SWAP area: For UFS file systems, 512 MB is the default size
Processor requirements
SPARC: 200–MHz or faster processor is required.
x86: 120–MHz or faster processor is recommended. Hardware floating-point support is required.
