Hmm, Mosix is a dead / discontinued product. Also not sure if the MOSIX
patches were ever available for SPARC Linux. They definitely never got
ported to Linux 2.6.x hence you'd be stuck with four-year-old kernels and
a correspondingly old userland.
All of that is off-topic for opensolaris-discuss, though; even the usage
of SparcStation-10 is somewhat off-topic because opensolaris does not
support the sun4m hardware, if you've got SPARC you need UltraSPARC. You
can read a bit about that here:
http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?messageID=10866
That said, wrt. to clustering and OpenSolaris, check out the HA Clustering
and HPC (High Performance Computing) communities, you'll find tons of
material there:
