Anyone here from Sun have Solaris Express working on the new Mx000 series systems yet?
Yes. Putbacks go into Solaris Nevada first; support for these machines
started being added around build 38, about this time last year.
I'd be curious to hear about experiences with it. Mainly because I've heard that Fujitsu
systems had some compatibility issues with Solaris Express and you needed to use
Fujitsu's version of Solaris.
This may have been true (I don't know) with previous Fujitsu gear; it's
certainly not the case for these machines.
The new Mx000 series appear to be using the Fujitsu M64 processors.
The M series I'm logged into right now reports
"Sun Microsystems sun4u Sun SPARC Enterprise M8000 Server"
and is running nightly as of a few days ago... it looks like
every other big fast box, although chip speeds are a little
higher than I've seen on SPARC before:

Now to scam some disk space; I think I've found my private
SPARC build machine :-).
