[OpenIndiana-discuss] Anyone running Illumos/OI on an HP Z820?

[Reginald Beardsley]

I'm contemplating buying a real beast as the off lease systems available via ebay, etc are quite staggering for the hardware you get.

They are Solaris 11 certified as well as Linux supported, but I don't care for Linux and Larry wants far too much for Solaris 11.  Which leaves the device driver problem.   I know people are running OI on Z800s, but I've not heard anyone mention a Z820.

Anyone have experience with one?

One other question.  memorystock.com offers 8 GB DIMMS for the Z400, but HP only supports 4 GB DIMMS.  Has anyone run 8 GB DIMMS in a Z400?

Thanks,
Reg
