Here is an update:
Trying EON Storage 64 on a dl380 G5, I see that on the dl380 G4 it stops right
before configuring devices. So, should I use the dl380 G5? Well, when I run
echo | format on the G5 it detects no drives. Do I need to load drivers for an
HP Smart array P400?

tions share the same partition ID - this is why
the OpenSolaris installer thought that your Linux swap partition was actually

determine what the contents of the partition actually are, i.e. Linux swap or

You can delete all the lines with "e1000g" in them from the "/etc/path_to_inst"

Be sure to back up /etc/path_to_inst in case modifying it messes up your
well, the -V actually tells zfs to make a "volume"... which is

They can. If I can generalize, the LSI cards seem to present drives not in a
RAID array as bare drives with no configuration necessary, while the Adaptec
I've had great success with Adaptec and LSI SAS controllers with SATA drives
attached.
Two I'm using now are, off the top of my head, an LSI 3442e and and an Adaptec
3405. In the case of the LSI 3442e, I'm using it to drive 4 SATA drives on a
Dell SC440 because I found the Dell server's onboar
store the configuration for the access to the disk. Note that the VirtualBox
manual says that this feature is experimental so it would be best to back up
your data before using it. See the manual on the download page here:

Cheers
Andrew.
