Right, the two would be separate, either we'd be running Linux on Xeons or Opterons, or we'd be running Solaris on Sparc, not Solaris on Opteron or Intel.

I've got the Solaris 10 CDs down and will try to do an install on a SunBlade we have here, with any luck I can get a copy of the U2 Solaris binaries from IBM in relatively short order to test this out, at least in a proof of concept stage.

  It will as a 32-bit application. You can run a single Opteron on a
dual-board and you still get the benefit of 64-bit hardware. I
have Win2K Pro running on that setup right now serving huge files.

Yes (v490). Problem is that Universe is compiled against Solaris 7 so you get absolutely no benefit of later versions.

Also as far as I know Universe does not run on Opteron.

Hola all -

We've suddenly had some resources freed up from another project and

are

looking to rapidly replace the 12-14 year old SGI Challenge Ls (which,
truly, are still performing magnificently in most respects) we have

our

UniVerse 9.6 installation on.

We've so far primarily tested on U2 10.1.x running on redHat AS 3.2

and

we're starting to get quotes for hardware, and we've concentrated on

x86

 so far; the Sun guys came by today & pitched a very nice price for 4
way Opteron based 40Zs, but they also made a fairly strong case for

the

virtualization/compartmentalization features of Solaris 10. I know

it's

kind of early yet, but has anyone tried running U2 in these

containers?

I'm fascinated by the idea (as we could dual-purpose the box and not
have to worry so much about our high-availability needs), but it will
take a while before I can actually get to trying it out on the

SunBlade

100 here, so I'm interested if anyone's tried this, perhaps from the
Solaris 10 betas.

Thanks very much for any input.
