Answer 1

Solaris 2.6 will run on that platform,
though it won't take advantage of the hardware's full capabilities.
Solaris 2.6 is a 32bit environment. The hardware is 64bit-capable.
There are some additional "gotchas":
Which release of Solaris 2.6? The early ones have issues with the L2 cache sizes on some of the cpu modules.
How big is the L2 cache on those modules, 4MB or 8MB ?
If it is 8MB each cpu, then you will need to set temporary conditions in OBP for the OS,
then reset them for every boot and reboot until you apply patches after Solaris is installed.
You will also need to check that you're at a more recent version of the OBP firmware.
Begin by reviewing the contents of SRDB document 20149.
It is available from Sun directly, to Service Contract customers.
There are plenty of references to it out via Google.
Solaris 7, 8, 9, and 10 do not have those issues on your E6500, and they're all natively 64bit on that platform.
