Won't work - some of us have tested it.
Again, NO these drives are not hot pluggable and the release
note is
accurate. PLEASE get a system to test. Or take our word for it.
hmm I think I may have just figured out the problem here.
YES the x2100 is that bad. I too found it quite hard to believe that
Sun would sell this without hot plug drives. It seems like a step
backwards.
(and of course I don't mean that the x2100 is awful, it's a great
hardware and very well priced ... now if only hot plug worked!)
My main issue is that the x2100 is advertised as hot plug working.
Agree 100% with the above. In all other respects I like the X2100.
I've come to accept the lack of hotswap as an indirect consequence of
market segmentation, but it would be great if it worked (like Frank I
saw nothing to indicate the contrary until someone pointed me to fine
print in the release notes, long after we purchased).

You have to dig pretty deep -- deeper than would be expected of a
"typical" buyer -- to find that Solaris does not support it.
