=46irst suggestion (for smaller systems):=20

(or perhaps =

couldn't read it completely)

Use your existing on-board scsi controller to connect to the RAID system.=
 The
RAID system is a 5.25" box that controls the hard disks. You will need no=
 driver
software at all since this box does everything else. The computer will =
only see
one or more logical drives managed by the controller.

Second suggestion (for big systems)

Buy a JNI FC-AL adapter and install it the your Sun.

Then have a look at:

This box has two FC-AL inputs from your machine and eight SCSI outputs, =
so you
can connect 8*15=3D120 hard disks, with each having 75 GB you have about =
9000 GB
of raw storage. Should be enough, right?


There are no PCI controllers for Sun as you know it from the PC world. =
Instead
you use such external boxes. There are certainly more products, but I've =
had
these in my fingers know that they are working.
