I'm currently looking for a quad gigabit adapter that will work with a Sun
V440 server. If I'm not mistaken, the bus type in those boxes are 64bit
66MHz PCI-buses, right?
When looking at suns webpage, the only quad gig PCI adapter available is
the Sun GigaSwift adapter, which seems to be based on the cassini/ce
chipset. However, I require a bge chipset, or any other good chipset which
has a GLDv3 drives that works well with link aggregation. ce has proven to
have a rather lousy driver, which takes up lots of CPU when there's
network I/O, and the drives is also non-GLDv3 in Solaris 10, if my memory
serves me right.
So what I want to do is to have 2-4 gig ports using a good chipset, which
has a GLDv3 drives, since I want to use dladm to create GLDv3-based link
aggregations. Any suggestions on which adapter(s) to use and/or how I
should do it otherwise?
