Re: [Veritas-vx] my new old A5000
Jason, Your going to want the Sun SAN 4.4.X package, it is available here (you probably need a sunsolve account for this): https://sdlc4e.sun.com/ECom/EComActionServlet;jsessionid=DCDA32753D2F5FA92E342894D7B49B74 A5X00 disk trays are controlled by luxadm commands. The trays have no HW RAID SW, it's kind of a Fibre version of JBOD.
