Hardware RAID

Can anyone point me at a list of current Sun servers that support hardware based RAID?

Not sure if there is a list supporting hardware raid for boot drives, but these do, I am certain.

X2100

X4100

X4200

V440

V445

V40z

V20z

The G/A release of the OPL server line is said to support hardware raid for boot drives, however haven't heard if it is going to make G/A or not.

Very simple to instantiate RAID on these systems. Install OS to primary root drive. Boot system to multi-user after install and run "raidctl -c primary-root-drive alternate-root-drive" This sync takes a little while, however worked great for me.

raidctl -l can be used to obtain status on the current RAID volumes.

Keep in mind the onboard HW RAID on the X2100 is only support by Windows.

and the v215, maybe.

I say maybe because I've not been able to find anything, anywhere that explains how to get mirrored root disk using the LSI 1064 RAID controller.

raidctl -c c1t0d0 c1t1d0 provides the reply,

"Cannot create RAID volume, disk "c1t0d0" is mounted ."

Case is open with Sun.
