Per customer:
Thanks for the info.
With MPXIO and QLogic Fibre HBA, which driver should we use?
My undersatanding is that MPXIO only works with Sun HBA driver, not
QLogic driver. Is it true?
If so, is it still supported if we use HBA from OLogic directly, yet
using HBA driver from Sun?
If we choose to go for H/W RAID 1, with max # of disks, i.e. 8,
installed, how many LDoms can we create?
Also according to the URL, bug 6514091 has been fixed in S10U5.
Does that mean we will be able to use VxVM Volume as OS device for LDoms
with U5?
