The Debian port 'sparc64' is actively being worked on. I have it
installed on both a SB2500 and a T5120; I haven't updated it recently
(>1year), but then it was working fine on my Ultra 1E as well.

Beware; if memory serves, at some points there were issues between
Linux and the FC-AL controller for the SB2000 disks.

You may want to look at alternate solutions if that is still the case,
some were discussed recently (e.g.
<http://www.sunhelp.org/pipermail/rescue/2021-April/142574.html>).

Cordially,
