Original Question:

I've seen a few references that suggest that the Sun 670MP servers will
not be supported in Solaris 2.6.

Can anyone confirm or deny this?

Answer:

Here is the news from End-of-life Statements given in SMCC Open Issues
Supplement for Solaris 2.5.1

SPARC Server 600 series.
========================

SMCC announces end-of-life for the SPARCserver 630MP,670MP and 690MP
systems. The SPARCserver 600 series systems will no longer be suppported in
releases of Solaris shipped after March 1997.
Note-All hardware options and supported configurations dependent upon the
SPARCserver 600 series architecture will no longer be suppported in
releases of Solaris shipped after March 1997.


Thanks to all who replied.
