3rd party FC disk systems with Solaris ?

Hi,
we're in the process of upgrading our disk infrastructure. We've used 3rd
party SCSI-LVD disk arrays in the past with no problem whatsoever. Now
we're thinking of doing a little SAN (one array shared by two machines),
but the Sun gear (T3 and such) is just too expensive.

Is there anyone here with experience with 3rd party low-end fibre channel
disk arrays with Suns ? We're thinking abou the NexSAN ATABoy
specifically.

Everything on Sun's site is about Sun's gear. The Traffic Manager etc all
talk about only supporting Sun hardware.

Can I expect to just plug my FC disk array and have it recognized at
bootup with the default Solaris drivers ?
