Sparc Storage Array 200: HOWTO?

Hi, I have a sun enterprise 5000 machine up and running with Solaris 10. I also have a Sparc Storage Array 200 which connects via a fibre channel to the machine. I have tried to search for documentation online, but can磘 seem to find any on Sun磗 website. What I was able to find out is that that there is a program called ssaadm which might help me talk to the array. However that program is not installed and when I do pkgadd it tells me that no packages were found in /var/spool/pkg. I磎 very use to the some GNU/linux package management systems (such as apt (debian) or emerge (gentoo)), and they just get the packages online from the repository and download, (compile), and install them. I also cant find any info as what the dev nodes will be for the fibre card (I dont even know if solaris has drivers for it). If anyone could either tell me what needs to be done or point me in the direction of documentation I would greatly like that. Thanks.

The SSA is no longer supported and the drivers have been removed from Solaris.

Is there any way at all to get the drivers for either solaris or Linux?

drop down to Solaris 9... if you really want to use the SSA, then Solaris 9 was the last OS that supported it...

I doubt there is any support in Linux...
