According to the 6.5 compatibility sheet, it is the first version that is 
supposed to support Solaris x86_64.

However, I do not believe running all of that on 1 server is a wise choice.

For LTO-4, if only on gigabit and you want to maximize performance you should
only use one media server per LTO-4 drive unless you are going to use multiple
nics in the host.

Data Domain DDR's rule btw!
