Hi all, I have a Sun x2200 named Adra running OpenSolaris 2008.11 set up as a Dom0 per Levon''s instructions on this site. It hosts some production services and has been running nice and stable for a number of months now (with NetWare DomUs running GroupWise, believe it or not). The machine is pretty nicely speced out and there''s room for more virtualisation, so I was

Is there a card for OpenSolaris 2009.06 SPARC that will do SATA correctly yet? Need it for a super cheapie, low expectations, SunBlade 100 filer, so I think it has to be notched for 5v PCI slot, iirc. I''m OK with slow -- main goals here are power saving (sleep all 4 disks) and 1TB+ space. Oh, and I hate to be an old head, but I don''t want a peecee. They still scare me :)

According to various posts the LSI SAS3081E-R seems to work well with OpenSolaris. But I''ve got pretty chilled-out from my recent problems with Areca-1680''s. Could anyone please confirm that the LSI SAS3081E-R works well ? Is hotplug supported ? Anything else I should know before buying one of these cards ? Thanks, Arnaud

Hi, Can anyone identify whether this is a known issue (perhaps 6667208) and if the fix is going to be pushed out to Solaris 10 anytime soon? I''m getting badly beaten up over this weekly, essentially anytime we drop a packet between our twenty-odd iscsi-backed zones and the filer. Chris was kind enough to provide his synopsis here (thanks Chris):

Hi, I''m trying to do a simple data retention hack wherein I keep hourly, daily, weekly and monthly zfs auto snapshots. To save space, I want the dailies to go away when the weekly is taken. I want the weeklies to go away when the monthly is taken. From what I''ve gathered, it seems time slider just deletes the eldest snapshot when there''s space contention.
