Hi Guys, The original X2100 was a pile of doggie doo-doo. All of our problems with it go back to the atrocious quality of the nForce 4 Pro chipset. The NICs in particular are just crap. The M2s are better, but the MCP55 chipset has not resolved all of its flakiness issues. That being said Sun designed that case with hot-plug bays, if Solaris isn't going to support it, then those shouldn't be there in my opinion.

PLEASE get a system to test. Or take our word for it. hmm I think I may have just figured out the problem here. YES the x2100 is that bad. I too found it quite hard to believe that Sun would sell this without hot plug drives. It seems like a step backwards. (and of course I don't mean that the x2100 is awful, it's a great hardware and very well priced ... now if only hot plug worked!) My main issue is that the x2100 is advertised as hot plug working. You have to dig pretty deep -- deeper than would be expected of a "typical" buyer -- to find that Solaris does not support it. -frank _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
