That's actually not a given IFIRK Sun says the RAID on the 2100's
is "Windows only".
Why Sun picks that kinda hardware for it's servers, is another
kinda
question.... But the controller manufacturers play evil here...
Might be beacuse these machines are about $750US each list.
What about v65x then ? :)
I don't know if I mentioned this already, but the Intel Gigabit
Ethernet
chip on Sun's AMD64 systems isn't even supported under Solaris.
Windows drivers only. I have heard rumors that a recent build
of OpenSolaris includes driver support though.

That is incorrect. The Intel chipset on the Sun AMD64 servers is
supported under Solaris with the Sun e1000g driver (and the older
ipge driver on SPARC systems that have that same chipset, anyway).
The e1000g adds jumbo frames and a few other features over the ipge
driver.
Also, the RAID controller configuration is available via the BIOS and
in Solaris as raidctl(1M)
