Well, thanks!

I would think so; including what kind of framebuffers, disk hba's, etc
were used. And if you or Dennis need any more hardware, I've got some
stuff I could send (that E3000 centerplane still working for you,
Dennis?). In particular, I've got some JNI fibre-channel HBA's, both
SBUS and PCI, as well as some Raptor framebuffers.
E3000 is working great. though i
just use it for testing now since it was
costing me over $50 a month to run. The T1000 and T2000 provide better build
capacity at less running cost
Don't know if those are even useful. But seeing Blade 1000 out
there
reminds me of fibre channel; how's FC support these days for E3500 as
well as Blade 1000? For that matter, I've got an EMC Clariion CX700
here I really would like to use for storage for Sun hardware; what
about switched FC instead of FC-AL?
Sun Blade 1000 and 2000 work just fine as long
as you make sure to select the
hardware support group so you get the firmware. I don't have any fiber channel
switches to test with.
Part of why I kindof dropped out of doing much with Linux on SPARC was
the state of the QLogic ESP diffSCSI SBUS drivers, since our E6500
needs that to boot from the D1000 shelf.
I have a T3 shelf that last i used worked just fine last i used it. It was
really slow and smallish 256gb or so
0001:06:01.0 Fibre Channel: QLogic Corp. ISP2422-based 4Gb Fibre Channel to
PCI-X HBA (rev 02)
0001:06:01.1 Fibre Channel: QLogic Corp. ISP2422-based 4Gb Fibre Channel to
PCI-X HBA (rev 02)
is the card i have for it
I know, I have 'strange' hardware..... :-)
