Unfortunately none of the P2V tools (Platespin Powerconvert, Vizioncore vConverter, Vmware Converter) support P2V conversions of Solaris systems, only Windows and Linux. Additionally Solaris 8 is not supported on ESX, only 9 & 10. You might be able to still install it on ESX even though it is not supported though. Check out the VMware Guest OS guide for more information including general installation notes.
