There are tools around that can tell you if hardware is supported by Solaris. One such tool can be found at: http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/hcl/hcts/install_check.html
Beware of this tool. It reports "Y" for both 32-bit and 64-bit on the nVidia MCP55 SATA controller -- but in the real world, it's supported only in compatibility mode, and (fatal flaw for me) *it doesn't support hot-swap with this controller*. So apparently even a clean result from this utility isn't a safe indication that the device is fully supported. Also, it says that the nVidia MCP55 ethernet is NOT supported in either 32 or 64 bit, but actually nv_44 found the ethernet without any trouble. Maybe that's just that the support was extended recently; the install tool is based on S10 6/06. The more I learn about Solaris hardware support, the more I see it as a minefield. -- David Dyer-Bennet, <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, <http://www.dd-b.net/dd-b/> RKBA: <http://www.dd-b.net/carry/> Pics: <http://www.dd-b.net/dd-b/SnapshotAlbum/> Dragaera/Steven Brust: <http://dragaera.info/> _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
