Hello all, I'm about out of space on a Sun Netra T1 that has been happily running OpenBSD for some time. I'd rather keep this server in action and add space to it, but both internal drive slots are occupied, so that means the only choice (short of reloading on bigger disks, which for a variety of reasons I'd rather avoid) is adding external storage.
It seems like the logical choice would be a Direct Attached Storage box like a D1000 plugged into the external SCSI port or a PCI RAID card. So: 1.) Is the D1000 supported in 4.1 when attached to a Netra T1 either via the external SCSI or via a RAID card? (http://www.openbsd.org/sparc64.html#hardware doesn't mention it either way) 2.) Given the various supported RAID cards, is a more generic RAID enclosure attached to a 3rd party RAID card a better way to go? 3.) Are there better alternatives that I'm just overlooking? As always, many thanks. Kevin -- http://www.ebiinc.com : Background Screening from EBI Corporate background checks, worldwide.
