Hello Alex,
Slightly off topic to your original question, but assuming that you are planning
to use your E6K and need storage space, I am the proud owner of a Sun/StorageTek
D1000 JBOD not currently in use. Attaches via Diff. SCSI.
I had ran an E4500 w/8 CPU's as my main computer for several years, and had used
the D1000 for storage.
If you need/want it, its yours for the asking. I am located in North Texas, and
assuming you are also, I'm sure that some type of local delivery could be worked
out. The D1000 is very heavy, and is probably not something you would want to
pay to ship.
Operating system wise, if I were in your shoes, I would consider running one of
the following three options:
* Solaris 10 update 11 - current version
* Solaris 11 Express - Last official Sun/Oracle version supported.
* OpenSXCE - Open source Solaris based distro.
Either way, congratulations on snagging an E6K, it should be an awesome system.
Jerry

I'll be picking up an E6K from a local university
next weekend. I'm not sure
exactly what hardware it has installed, but i know it has at least 10 cpu
boards. I was wondering if these machines had the same ability of the E10K to
segregate the CPU's into multiple systems in order to run multiple operating
system instances independently?
