anyone has experience with Gigabit Ethernet Cards ( PCI ) for Sun Ultra 60?
I do not want to just go and buy a bunch of adapters and see which one
works under Solaris 10, 9 , 8 , 7 ...
As per the reference manual - it only lists one and only gigabit adapter
( fibre channel one but its Ok i have a Fibre-SX to 1000-T converter for
it .. )
Sun Microsystems 501-4373 X1141A 1000B-SX Gigabit Fibre Ethernet PCI NIC
Card
The one part listed in the manual is most likely the one that would
work. I wouldn't look too far away from the spec'd out version. Its
not like PC-land where just about anything worked. Only specific
things worked for Sun machines, and going off the documentation was derigueur.
There's plenty of X1141A listed on flea-bag.
Converting from SX fiber into something else with some cheap switch
won't be too much of an issue.
So is the "GigaSwift Ethernet 1.0 UTP", options
1150 & 3150, part 501-5902 and that one is twisted pair. (It has a
fibre twin, giving yet another optical option.)
