It was always my understanding that you buy a 5K euro Netra for the
hotswap possibilities and the high availability of the server. I have
never ever have heard of having to shutdow a Netra to remove one of
internal disks from it's bays. Neither did any Sun engineer in the
datacenter ever shut down a Netra for disk removal, and they are over
the floor quite some times since we have platinum contracts for most
of our important servers and aren't supposed to replace disks ourselfs
on those servers. Even the PSUs at the back can be taken out while the
system is live.

About the cfgadm. I believe it only shows stuff for 'SCSI driven'
hardware. It was always my understanding that an Ultra 5 had IDE disks
but that they were addressed as SCSI, I am not sure on this one
though. On my AMD 4400+ I see the same output as you see on your i86pc
system. Which I find quite logical. All my drives are ATA/SATA and not
even hotplugable. I only see my USB and Firewire hosts, which are
hotplugable.
