Is there a 64-bit x86-64 Solaris that runs on AMD64 machines? AFAIR the Sun Fire is such a machine...

Are there any known features that aren't supported?
Has anyone done this?
Any feedback on a possible load like this?
Should work - but with SLES you get a longer lifetime (7 years instead of 2), maintenance, certifications etc. If you don't need those, you can try 10.0,

Yeah, certs and maintenance such aren't required. I was more interested in finding out if the box had any oddball hardware like an AIC7902 that only has closed source support for the host raid functionality.
