SunCluster 3.0 questions

Hi all

Any questions for who is using Sun Cluster solutions:

Storage:
--------
Q1: D1000 array has 2 independent differential UltraSCSI channels, but how
many interface boards ? (if the 2 channels are handled by a single adapter,
the D1000 is not a real HA architecture)

Q2: Is the new D2 array supported in a Sun Cluster 3.0 environment ?

Q3: If I build a 2-node cluster with a D1000 array (the 2 channels
daisy-chained together in a single SCSI bus), can the D1000 be easely
substituted with a D2 in the future (changing of course the SCSI board on
the nodes) ?

Network:
----------
Q1: In Sun Cluster 3.0, a NAFO group enables resilience from network adapter
failure. Does it increase the network bandwidth too (spreading the traffic
across all the interfaces of the group, like multipathing does) ?

Cluster aware applications:
---------------------------
Q1: Does anyboby of u confirm that RSMAPIs are available only w/ a SCI
interconnect ?

Q2: Is Netra 20 h/w compatible with SCI (or PCI-SCI) interconnect in a Sun
Cluster 3.0 environment ?

Q3: Using RSMAPIs "An application on node A can export a segment of memory,
which makes it available to applications on node B"; is this segment of
memory available to node B applications after a node A failure (at power off
too) ?

I will summarize.
TIA
Roberto
