    Hello, list,

    The new Sun Fire X2100's boast RAID 1 and 0 capabilities in the BIOS.

    Has someone used these capabilities of the chip?

    Is it real hardware block-by-block RAID, or does it use the OS's soft RAID?
    Can it send mail to remote location if one of the drives fail in a RAID
    1 configuration?
    Is it possible to monitor it from another machine on the Network, like
    for ewample with IBM's ServeRAID Manager?

    These servers seem to be a really good price/value, but I have trouble
    finding detailed specs cocerning this issue.

    Thanks in advance.

    Rami
