    Hello,

    Thanks to Pascal Grostabussiat, Boe Franklin, and Joe Ritter who
    replied. Turns out what was in there was a SRC/P SCSI RAID Card
    (X6602A), and the #2 and #3 drives under format are actually mirrored
    to two other drives. And yes the drives were hot-swappable, and we
    got the additional ones added in.

    For more info:

    The card GUI is at: /opt/SUNWhwrdg/dptmgr
    and the cli: /opt/SUNWhwrdg/dptutil

    Thanks all,

    Andrew
