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)?

Thanks again!
