The GS8300 has Fujitsu sparc RISC processors (similar to UltraSparc) and
therefore run a modified version of Solaris. 

You should ask whomever gave you your other assessment guides to give you
one on Solaris...I'm guessing you are not expected to do a very
detailed/thorough assessment on a totally unfamiliar platform, so it seems
most of the Solaris tests and general pentest guides should point you in the
right direction. 

Review the Fujitsu site, if you want to review the current vuln of the
system you are on, and look at the recommended patches and advisories for
Solaris OE:

Subject: Host review on a Fujitsu OS?




Anyone familiar with Fujitsu's main frame operating systems? 
Is it some 

sort of backwards Sun OS system?



I have a client with a GS8300 model main frame type system. 
The systems 

web page is here:

http://globalserver.fujitsu.com/en/gs8300.html



(they also have a GP7000 series as well)



question is, I do not have a OS host assessment guide for this type of 

system. I can do host assessments on AS/400, SAP, Windows, RedHat etc but 

nothing on this beast.



Anyone familiar? Or have experience?
