I'm well aware that this is no Solaris 10 support list and am posing the
question via our regular support channels as well, but hope to get an
answer quicker this way:
I'm starting to test a J4400 with 24 300 GB SAS disks as an alternative to
our current HW-RAID based storage infrastructure (SE3510FC and ST6140) for
use on an X4200 M2 fileserver running Solaris 10 U5 with ZFS. When I read
through the release notes for the J4400, I was dismayed to notice that
currently neither the second SAS I/O Module nor SAS Multipathing are
supported.
The Just the Facts for the J4400 indicate that SAS multipathing support
will be available in Q3 CY2008, which is almost over. This seems to
indicate that mpxio support in mpt is the only hurdle for SAS multipathing
and there are no problems (firmware or otherwise) with supporting the
second SIM. I'm a bit astonished that Solaris 10 support is so late, since
mpt mpxio support seems to have integrated into Nevada in April 2007
already.
Can anyone shed some light on the situation here?
Thanks.
Rainer
