On that note, I've recently read it might be the case that the 1u sun
servers do not have hot-swappable disk drives... is this really true?
Yes.
Only for the x2100 (and x2100m2). It's not that the hardware isn't
hot-swappable, it's that Solaris doesn't support it. If you run
Windows you will get hot swap.
No.
To be clear, Sun defines "hot swap" as a device which can be inserted or
removed without system administration tasks required.
Sun defines "hot plug" as a device which can be inserted or removed without
causing damage or interruption to a running system, but which may require
system administration. The vast majority of the disks Sun sells are hot
pluggable.
That said, this definition is not always used consistently, as is the case
with the x2100. I filed a bug against the docs in this case, and unfortunately
it was closed as "will not fix." :-(
