Just check the firmware levels and manufacturing date of GBICs and
make(VIXEL or IBM).If it is IBM GBICS then OK.
B'cos there is a known bug on GBIC modules of VIXEL( cannot remember the
date code , may be 99 april.)

 Hi all,  I have a new 3500 with one 18.2GB internal fcal disk
as the boot device, Solaris 2.7 was installed and runs normally. however,
one of my apps requires 2.6.  I start the 2.6 install using the Operating
Environment Installation CD(Feb 2000), and then select that 2.6 be installed.
