It is an old array.. Sparc Storage Array. If you do not have one don't bother looking for one.
I had bought an A5000 with 125GB of storage from ebay for $125.00 last year. I use it at home for testing purposes. I was able to pick it up so I did not have shipping charges. It is a heavy beast, especially with the drives in.
Sorry can't help you on that. If you are good friends with someone maybe they can let you borrow it(not that I ever do this, he he) in order to install it.I checked the link provided in this post earlier and did not see it for Solaris.
CA, so where do I get the gbic and cable ? Will these be expensive ?
Where do I get VxVM once I have the array ? Also am I correct in understanging that once VxVM sees this array it does not need a license for the modules you listed ?
Yes I am positive that you can run veritas without a license as I am currently running 3.5 at this time no license.
As far as the cable part# 537-1004 I found for 50.00 on the web today.
The fibre card will run you a bit more, fortunately I did alot of extra work for a company who went out of business and had given me a few things for free so I saved there.
The card I have is a pci fibre part#375-0040 (which goes in an ultra60) quick check today showed people selling it for 300 or so. I would watch ebay for deals, amazing what I have found there. You need to make sure whatever system you have supports the fibre and check what cards you can use. Some are sbus and some are pci.
