card that supports SAS would be *ideal*,
Except that SAS support on Solaris is not very good.
One major problem is they treat it like scsi when instead they should
treat it like FC (or native SATA).
uhmm... SAS is serial attached SCSI, why wouldn't we treat it like SCSI?
BTW, the sd driver and ssd (SCSI over fibre channel) drivers have the same
source. SATA will also use the sd driver, as Pawel describes in his blogs
on the SATA framework at http://blogs.sun.com/pawelblog
What I gather from this is that today, SATA drives will either look like IDE
drives or SCSI drives, to some extent. When they look like IDE drives, you
don't get all of the cfgadm or luxadm management options and you have to do
thinks like hot plug in a more-rather-than-less manual mode. When they look
like SCSI drives, then you'll also get the more-automatic hot plug features.
