Firewire (IEEE 1394) with Solaris 8 on a Sun Blade 1500
I have seen this already (forwarded earlier by Sam Schubnel) and have tried this. The some commands don't work (Example: rmformat -l returns with error "no such option" and also such option does not show on my man pages.) and there is no mention of Firewire.
I suspect that since this blog applies to *USB* on Solaris 10 X86 and I am using Firewire (IEEE 1394) with Solaris 8 on a Sun Blade 1500, that it is not appropriate to my situation. To quote from the blog "Keep in mind that this is for Solaris 10 X86".
Please help me use this neat little RAID.

Hello Mark,
these forums are user-to-user.
If you work for Caen Engineering, Inc. I would strongly recommend that you contact Sun directly as an OEM.
Unfortunately you didn't mention the particular blog you referring to.
A quick search ("Solaris firewire") on blogs.sun.com returned the following blog entry from January 2006
