  The off-diagonal Bethe ansatz method is generalized to the high spin
integrable systems associated with the su(2) algebra by employing the spin-s
isotropic Heisenberg chain model with generic integrable boundaries as an
example. With the fusion techniques, certain closed operator identities for
constructing the functional T-Q relations and the Bethe ansatz equations are
derived. It is found that a variety of inhomogeneous T-Q relations obeying the
operator product identities can be constructed. Numerical results for two-site
s=1 case indicate that an arbitrary choice of the derived T-Q relations is
enough to give the complete spectrum of the transfer matrix.
