This is more a statement of the current state of the project, rather than the ultimate goal. As Russ pointed out, this is orthogonal to the use of the term "chassis" in the topology. We plan to move beyond single system chassis once this phase is complete, assuming we can find such systems that support IPMI. - Eric -- Eric Schrock, FishWorks http://blogs.sun.com/eschrock _______________________________________________ fm-discuss mailing list fm-discuss@opensolaris.org
