What processors are running in the Dell Poweredge? Are they Dual-Core Intel Xeon 5100 processors by any chance? We are having difficulty installing Solaris 10 11/06 on our platform running with these processors.

That procedure at:www.bobx.com/solaris_x86/solaris-9-x86-on-dell-1850.htmlWill not work on the 2900 or 2950 on either the RAID or HBA/non-RAID mode.This thread is more active on this issue: http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9587593

1950's and 2950's work well in Solairs 10.

You'll need Solairs U3 at least as it has an updated mpt driver for the newer LSI 1680. The networking however is not included. There are two ways to install then:

1. Install without network, download driver and add from cd after system is up and running.

2. Install using a ITU cd image.

Alternately if you have a Jumpstart server, use Solaris U3 and rebuild the x86.miniroot with the Broadcom driver built in ;)

In raid mode - I dont think so. The problem isnt with the PERC in non-RAID mode, the problem is when the PERC 5/i is in raid mode.
