Hi,
I have an E450 running Solaris 8 with an A3500 array. I'm concidering
upgrading the Raid Manager software from 6.22 to 6.22.1. I don't see any huge
benefits gained by going to 6.22.1, but I did see that it has support for
SMART/PFA (Self-Montoring Analysys and Reporting Technology/Predictive Failure
Analysis) which would be helpful. Does anyone have any experience with this?
Do you need to install extra software to utilize the SMART support?
ARe there any websites that have helpful information about SMART and Raid
Manager? I'm not familiar with it and I'de hate to go thru the trouble of
upgrading and then not be able to utilize the feature.

Thanks,
Nicole Skyrca
