Take a look at this:
 https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Solaris_Guests

And this:
https://www.linux-kvm.org/page/Guest_Support_Status#UNIX_Family:_Solaris.2FOpenSolaris

In a nutshell, it looks like all versions of Solaris 10 have various issues
running under kvm but there are workarounds.

Some releases require modification of the grub parameters to get Solaris to
boot under kvm.

Hello John,

I am using KVM hypervisor with that I want to launch solaris 10 OS as guest
vm using its ISO image.
I am able to start installation process but at the final step its failing
to find installation media through cd/dvd device.

Error after selecting cd/dvd option: No disks found


I tried some other ways like launching solaris on esx and converting its
vmdk to qcow2, with this approach qcow2 boot process is getting stuck at
very initial stage(at boot options step).
