Then, before bricking your hardware trying experimental software, just drop
us a mail, maybe we can help you ;)

Btw, the T1000 is a wonderful machine: the very last pizza box with carrier
grade durability, drinks only 100W and features 4 Gb NICs. You need a
warrior axe to stop it from working.

The only two design flaws are the lack of optical/USB which compels to
netinstall (some say plugging a sata DVD in SAS slot works but it didn't
for me, booting was endless) and the mandatory requirement to use all dimms
of the same size (i.e. u can't mix 4gb modules with 2gb ones etc). Btw I
still have 4x1gb modules around for it.

It's nice to run OpenBSD and Solaris at the same time, supports latest
versions of both OSs. In case you would like to use Sol 11.2 as
virtualization host, you will have to downgrade ldom support to 1.2 but you
will benefit ZFS. OpenBSD, instead, thanks to Mark, has hypervisor working
out of the box, see man ldomctl. I tried both configs and Mark's one wins
hands down for simplicity. The only two reasons to run Solaris as host are
if you absolutely need zfs or if you need hardware drivers for some pcie
expansion card which openbsd does not recognise.
