Is there a card for OpenSolaris 2009.06 SPARC that will do SATA correctly yet? Need it for a super cheapie, low expectations, SunBlade 100 filer, so I think it has to be notched for 5v PCI slot, iirc. I'm OK with slow -- main goals here are power saving (sleep all 4 disks) and 1TB+ space. Oh, and I hate to be an old head, but I don't want a peecee. They still scare me :) Thinking root pool on 16GB ssd, perhaps, so the thing can spin down the main pool and idle *really* cheaply..
The LSI SAS controllers with SATA ports work nicely with SPARC. I have one in my V880. On a Blade-100, however, you might have some issues due to the craptitude of the PCI slots.
To be honest, the Grover was a fun machine at the time, but I think that time may have passed.
Oh, and if you do grab the LSI card, don't let James catch you using the itmpt driver or lsiutils ;-)
