Make sure that you check the Solaris HCL since a lot of SAS controllers do not function 100% under Solaris/OpenIndiana. This is also true for the 3Ware controllers. If you look at the LSI website you can see if the card you want has Solaris support/drivers. If it doesn't don't buy it. I have a server with a 3Ware 9550SX for example, that won't run/install any Solaris installer.

However, you might avoid their 3ware line as the last time I tried one with HP hardware it couldn't load the card's firmware even after disabling every thing else from the BIOS. That may have improved since then but I get the impression their 3ware line has lower priority for eng/dev time which is sad since 3ware gear prior to LSI acquisition was top notch. Again, YMMV. -Gary _______________________________________________ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss _______________________________________________ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
