That can suck-- the next rev fixes that from what I hear. If
you get a setup w/ a Brocade switch, it can carve up those
LUNs. The "bricks" become a random appliance on the SAN
whose addressing is managed by the switch.

No, you don't need to do "partner pairs" -- "partner pairs" is
a neat setup, though.

Rumor has it the next rev will be.

Yes and no-- not officially, but Sun will install them in a
cluster config.

Yeah, that's icky. You can do it over the serial port, too, tho.
The converse is that it's SNMP managable, plugs into Sun Management Center, etc.

Debatable-- what's the benchmark?
