Hello Bob, Thanks for the SIIG pointer, most of the stuff I had archived from this list pointed to LSI products.
I poked around on the site and reviewed SIIG's SATA and SAS HBA. I also hit up their search engine. I'm not implying I did an all inclusive search, but nothing I came across on their site indicated any type of Solaris or *Solaris distro support. Did I miss something on the site? Or maybe one of their sales people let you know this stuff worked with Solaris? Or should it "just work" as long as it meets SAS or SATA standards? Thanks again for your reply, Jerry Kemp On 10/25/12 09:09 AM, Bob Friesenhahn wrote: > On Thu, 25 Oct 2012, Sašo Kiselkov wrote: >> >> Look for Dell's "6Gbps SAS HBA" cards.
