I have a $500 Apple PCI-X HBA (with a SFP connector) in a V20z (Solaris 10 GA 3/05) using the LSI Logic 64-bit drivers for Solaris 10/x86 (the Apple card is a OEM-ed LSI7202XP). It has been running for about a month now. My home directory is on it, so I would know if there was a problem :-)
We have the same HBAs running on Sun E420Rs in production for over a year with XServe RAID as storage units, they works quite well. Famous last words... We have been prepping a new Sun V440R with two of those cards for an upgrade, and during burn-in, it now won't even boot in single-user mode, with the following message: Rebooting with command: boot Boot device: disk File and args: SunOS Release 5.10 Version Generic 64-bit Copyright 1983-2005 Sun Microsystems, Inc.

Hardware watchdog enabled WARNING: itmpt0: doorbell = 40003216 WARNING: itmpt0: IssueIocReset, adapter failed to come ready (40003216) WARNING: itmpt0: doorbell = 40003216 WARNING: itmpt0: IssueIocReset, adapter failed to come ready (40003216) (keeps on doing this) probably a hardware failure on one of the cards, but it is worrisome that a card can take the system down - FC multipathing wouldn't help here.
