This is part of ongoing work with Solaris platform integration (see my last blog post) and future ZFS/FMA work. We will eventually be leveraging IPMI and SES to manage physical indicators (i.e. LEDs) in response to Solaris events. It will take some time to reach this point, however. - Eric -- Eric Schrock, Solaris Kernel Development http://blogs.sun.com/eschrock _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
