>
> The purpose of this project is to provide early

> will enable RAID on OpenSolaris systems with Promise
> SATA and SAS/SATA RAID
> PCI-express controller hardware.
>
> The sts driver ("SuperTrak Storage" HBA) belongs to
> the SATA/SAS line of Host
> Bus Adapters that provide hardware RAID storage. The
> sts driver was a jointly
> developed CDDL driver based on BSD source version by
> Promise. Sun paid for
> contract work to produce the driver under CDDL by
> Dexcel Corp in India. This
> line of cards features Intel I/O processors for
> SATA-only and SAS/SATA (aka
> Brockton and Sunrise Lake). An sts6 driver for next
> generation HBA that has 6
> Gbps interfaces could also be done in this project.
>
> Promise Technology, Inc. (http://www.promise.com/) is
> a storage HBA vendor that
> provides both small business to large enterprise
> storage HBAs and finished
> Storage Arrays. Often known as a price-performance
> leader in RAID storage. They
> currently provide Solaris-Ready certified VTrak
> storage subsystems.

> According to Article VIII of the OpenSolaris
> Constitution, we need three +1
> votes from Core Contributors in each of these two
> communities within 72 hours
> and no -1 votes. Since the U.S. has a holiday, the
> deadline for endorsing this
> proposed project is 5pm Pacific Time Wednesday, July
