Alternatively, you can boot a 32bit kernel on your Sun box by setting the
PROM boot-file to kernel/unix

But even with that, there's no guarantee that even the 32bit driver will
be compatable with sol7.

RM6 (the latest version is 6.22) is included with all StorEdge RAID
products. I would try calling Sun or your VAR and asking for a CD.

RM6 /should/ work with the SSA, but I cant be certain. Sorry I cant give
you a exact solution, but it looks like you're going to be left with at
least some experimentation to see what combo works :)
