Yes.

I added CPQary3 driver to x86.microroot from the install CD, and
rebuild the install CD afterwards. Opensolaris is installed on
internal disk.

On a side note, I just acquired another similar HP system but WITHOUT
qlogic card. And guess what, xen kernel works perfectly!

Somehow qlogic driver is causing problems on my system. On non-xen
kernel using disable-qlc=true allows it to boot (I'm not using any
external drive on this server). On xen kernel this workaround is not
enough.

Here's lspci output from Linux of the problematic qlogic card.
10:00.0 Fibre Channel: QLogic Corp. ISP2432-based 4Gb Fibre Channel to
PCI Express HBA (rev 02)
10:00.1 Fibre Channel: QLogic Corp. ISP2432-based 4Gb Fibre Channel to
PCI Express HBA (rev 02)
