First, Solaris 8 requires Raid Manager 6.22.  Special thanks to Jonathan
Katz <jon@jonworld.com> for pointing out the URL
< http://www.sun.com/service/online/raid.html >.  Unfortunately, Sun is
currently updating the download, so it is unavailable.

Patches requires for Solaris 8: 109189-02, 108528-05, 109524-04, 109571-02
Patches for RM6: 108553-07
Also, should have A1000 firmware: 03.01.03.00

Additional special thanks to Mr. Nguyen hmnguyen@verizongni.com for
pointing to the Solaris 8/A1000 information from the SSA mailing list:
http://www.eng.auburn.edu/pub/mail-lists/ssastuff/Solaris8-A1000.html

Some more information is available in infodoc 20029 (Thanks to Nicole
Skyrca for that info).
