Disksuite is not a "watered down" version of VxVM, the code paths are
totally different and have been since inception.  Perhaps you are thinking
of SEVM (Solstice Enterprise Volume Manager) which was a stripped down
VxVM bundled with some of the SSAs?  Disksuite is and always has been a
Sun product, not Veritas.

Sun did sell the SRC/P hwraid kits, with 3 U2W channels per card (2 of
which went out to an 8-bay backplane when used in an E450).  I have one in
mine.

To/CC list trimmed.
