From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Malcolm Beattie Date: Tue, 26 May 1998 15:37:53 +0000 Subject: Sun StorEdge A1000 disk arrays Message-Id: List-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: ultralinux@vger.kernel.org The mail server I'm setting up is using Ultra5 boxes with Sun StorEdge A1000 disk arrays. Does anyone know what sort of RAID controller it contains (we're getting the RAID-in-hardware version rather than the just-a-box-of-disks D1000 version) and, if so, whether there's ever likely to be a Linux driver for them. I'd have preferred running Linux with PCs and DPT arrays but for finger-pointing reasons we're getting everything from Sun. The powers that be are happy with using Linux as an O/S in general so once Ultralinux stabilises it might be worth considering moving to Linux instead of Solaris. Driver support is the only problem. --Malcolm -- Malcolm Beattie Unix Systems Programmer Oxford University Computing Services
