Hi,

it definitely works. We have done it today and everything seems to be
fine. IBM had told us that it should work, but they won't garantee that
it works. We had to buy a new Solaris base server and were allowed to
use the other modules we had bought for AIX on Solaris. The only problem
that ocurred was that Sony SDT-9000 DDS-3 drives which worked
fine with AIX won't work with Solaris 2.6 on PCI machines unless you do a
firmware upgrade of the drives.

Regards,

Michael
