Some answer are:
Not unless you have Sun's SRC/P hardware RAID controller. By default the
E450
does software RAID with Disksuite, etc but needs the SRC/P controller
for
hardware RAID
That is not true. Unless you get one of the CPI based hardware RAID
controllers. Without that, you could use Solstice Disk Suite or Volume
Manager.
Yes, hardware RAID 5 is an option but only if you have the correct SCSI
controller cards (DPT) installed and then only on the top two shelves
(16
disks total). The bottom four disks are always JBOD. The RAID
controllers
are an extra addition and may come separately. Their installation is a
little awkward also. Also be aware, some drives have seating issues on
the new drive plane and need to be pushed in a little harder then
regular.
Thanks!
