It hasn't been tested on SPARC Solaris 10, but it was tested on SPARC
Solaris 8 and x86 Solaris 10 and 11 (latter a.k.a. OpenSolaris). In
other words there is no reason to believe that it wouldn't work on SPARC
Solaris 10. Naturally provided that your unit generally works with Solaris.

If you're into incremental BD-R recordings, then there is one thing to
remember. Media originally recorded by cdrecord won't work for
incremental recordings on Solaris. It won't work in the sense that data
recorded on later occasions won't be available on Solaris (it should be
available on Linux though). In order to make it work on Solaris media
has to be formatted for POW (see
http://fy.chalmers.se/~appro/linux/DVD+RW/Blu-ray/) and recording has to
be treated in special manner (growisofs and xorriso do this, but latter
is not available on Solaris). Rule of thumb is if you stick to
growisofs, then incremental recordings should work everywhere. A.
