[OpenIndiana-discuss] Good Solaris-friendly system vendor

[Rich]

You can.

The twofold caveat is that the built-in HBA is on a tiny proprietary
form factor PCIe riser, so you need to take up another PCIe slot
instead of that for it, and apparently [I haven't personally tested
this] Dell whitelists what cards can be in that riser?

Plus, support for an entire system versus everything except the one
component you swap out is attractive. :)
