I was hoping to be able to toss four more drives into empty internal slots in each of the E3000s and then go from there.  I realize that this solution will mean that the disks are still on the same bus, but I've been told that there is no money for this effort.  It's one of those, "Make it happen but don't cost us a cent." type of deals.

Ann:

1)	I know that Solaris Disk Suite is free with Solaris 8, so if
	you're running that release you're golden.  I've *heard* from
	little birds flitting about on USENET that you can get Disk Suite
	free for previous releases of Solaris now as well.  Dunno if that's
	true though.
2)	Fix the run-on lines. :)

Regards,

Nick Dronen
