Hi, it's possible that r710 suffers mpt-driver issues so be sure to test it out 
properly before doing anything real on it (:
snv_122/123 seems to work ok on these though.

Yours

Subject: Re: [storage-discuss] OpenSolaris - Dell R710

This is a long shot, but I have a Dell SC440 system, and it won't boot the 
2008.11 install CD with >=4GB RAM installed.  Try removing RAM down to 2GB and 
see if that helps.  It won't run X11 with the extra RAM, and since Caiman is a 
graphics only installer, you're stuck.  Once the OS is installed, you can 
disable GDM and use the text console:

svcadm disable gdm

Then add your RAM back in.  Hope this gets you going.

Hi again,

I tested, and same error..
Maybe i need to configure something in the Bios of the system? Maybe disable 
DRAC module or something like that..
If you have any more tips, please let me know..

Hello,

I recently got a new hardware, a Dell R710 with 2 Intel Xeon E5506 (2.13GHZ), 
with 2 SAS internal disks with the Dell SAS 6/iR, and 16GB ram.
I tried to install opensolaris 2008.11 ,yes. i know, a old one, but that's we 
need this specific version for now, the boot process from the CD hangs. It 
hangs right after the Sun0S Release logo, and doesn't go any further.
If i take a look to the Solaris OS HCL , i see that this system is certified 
for  Solaris 10 05/09, 
http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/hcl/data/systems/details/30978.html .

Does this means that i really need to use the Opensolaris 2009.06 version and 
not the 2008.11 ?

2008.11 had issues with the Dell KVM hardware. You should be able to boot with 
a direct attached keyboard and mouse.
