What I said was that we were looking for the best storage controller possible for use with Solaris. I specified neither "brand-X" nor "cheap." If you equate "not Sun" to "cheap" or "brand-X" then your input is duly noted, but in my opinion other vendors of quality equipment do exist. I also did not say that Sun hardware locks up. But virtually every SAS/SATA adapter on the HCL has people who've said terrible things about it, such as the example I provided, which is what I was referring to. > Keep in mind that usually people only post > experiences if they have > encountered a problem and need help.

That's obvious. It also doesn't shed any light on *which* storage controller to use. > Make sure that you are > using a system > with ECC memory. That's an interesting point. I wasn't aware you could buy servers without it. Thanks anyway. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ storage-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/storage-discuss
