Thanks to: "Michael Horton" <Michael.Horton@acntv.com> Scott Mickey <mickey@denver.net> <Steve.Starer@opco.com> (Who sent an unrelated reply, apparently responding to some other message) No one had a definitive answer here. Scott sent a lengthy message commenting on the inadequate state of the Solaris 10 HCL, especially when compared to that for Solaris 8. I also posted this question to comp.unix.solaris, and had a couple of responses suggesting that the 'aac' driver might support this controller, but, again, nothing definitive. Dell themselves, however, told me they do not certify this controller with any Solaris, only with RedHat. So, the boss gets his way. -- Tim Evans, TKEvans.com, Inc. | 5 Chestnut Court tkevans@tkevans.com | Owings Mills, MD 21117 http://www.tkevans.com/ | 443-394-3864 http://www.come-here.com/News/ | _______________________________________________ sunmanagers mailing list sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org http://www.sunmanagers.org/mailman/listinfo/sunmanagersReceived on Sun Sep 25 19:00:51 2005
