Or you could just install Raid Manager on the NT box. Sun part number
ARRAYNT-6221-B - not sure if it's still available for either purchase or

The A1000 was "intended" to be run on both Solaris and NT. It passed
Windows certification, and even appeared on the Microsoft Windows HCL for
NT. The Windows Raid Manager software is functionally equivalent to the
Solaris version, although I'm not sure if it's still being maintained.
