Andre: Currently we only support sun4u systems that are capable of using wanboot with network-boot-arguments arguments. YOu can find out by running eeprom. This is supported on all sun4v. For sun4u, I know they are supported on ultra45, sb2500, sb100, sb150, v215, v245, v480, v240 ... etc. As long as the OBP is 4.17.1 or higher, they will work.
For other sun4u systems that is not capable of doing wanboot from network, there are bugs in wanboot itself. After the wanboot bugs are fixed, we will need to try to see whether it is possible to get those other sun4u machine to work with AI. This will not be ready for 2009.1H. 6797441 - wanboot fails to configure network device when booted from media 6805094 - wanboot install from snv and s10u6/s10u7_04 fails after loading miniroot. I will suggest that you add yourself to the bug interest lists. There will be bug fixes available later and then we can try to come up with some workaround to see whether they will work.
