Okay, I hit a bit of a brick wall 10 minutes in to this project... The server I have (a brand new HP DL380G5) doesn't seem to work with Nevada (or Solaris 10, for that matter). It gets to disk selection, and the list is empty - so I assume it does not see my Smart Array P400 SAS RAID controller. Funnily enough, I also have a Smart Array 6400 Ultra320 RAID controller in there too, with logical drives defined, but it doesn't see that either - even though the HCL says that the 6400 is supported... However, even if it saw the 6400 I couldn't use it (my JBOD is attached to it) - the OS *must* reside on the P400 system drives... Anyone know of a driver update that might help here?
I also had another question around caching. Many "high performance" storage system use a relatively large amount of cache to speed up transfers. This can have a significant impact on performance, especially when we're talking about 16GB+ of cache. Can COMSTAR use inband cache (or is it planned)?
