Sun Blade 2000 and SATA drives.
My Sun Blade 2000 just came in on Thursday. The firmware needed to be updated. Otherwise, it seems to be working just fine. It has dual US-III 900s, 4 GB RAM, and dual 36 GB FC-AL drives.
I installed a LSI 3442X-R SAS/SATA HBA in the 3.3v 66 mhz slot and a Intel Pro 1000 (e1000g) network adapter in one of the 33 mhz slots. The LSI itmpt driver was needed for the HBA. Both were recognized by Solaris 10 11/06.
I installed a SATA WDC 3200 KS in the 4-bay external enclosure and connected the infiniband cable to HBA.
Here is how it appears to prtdiag -v, prtconf -D, and format after it was configured:
pci66+s/system-board LSILogic,sas-pci13e9,54 (scs+ LSI,1068
okay/pci@8,600000/LSILogic,sas@1
LSILogic,sas, instance #0 (driver name: itmpt)
tape (driver name: st)
disk (driver name: sd)
sd, instance #9 (driver name: sd)

Unfortunately, LSI seems to have the only HBAs that will support SATA on Solaris sparc.
