Is there a SPARC version? Even for FreeBSD? If I wanted to use these cards in one of my UltraSPARC machines, wouldn't I be kinda screwed? I presumably would not be able to use the built in BIOS management software since there's no x86 to execute it and I assume the bootable management CDROM will not be bootable on a SPARC?

The thought of rebooting a machine to check and deal with the health
of an array is bad enough, but if I had to move the card and disks to
another machine with an x86 in it would be beyond ridiculous.

I use and have mostly used in the past UltraSPARC and macppc in addition
to x86 with OpenBSD. Wouldn't management open source code or
documentation be my best option for expensive cards which I would be
willing to buy if I could actually know about and be proactive with the
arrays health?
