Thanks for your persistence Ben, I reduced the size of the array to a 2Gb RAID 1 and experienced the same problem.
I've worked out that I can load more recent firmware using a more recent version of Sun Common Array Manager. The firmware load failed in RHEL so I'll have to wait until Sun has sorted that out. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
