Hello,

  A big thank you goes to Luke A. Kanies who pointed out the info was
available on Sunsolve. I had overlooked the info in the notes while
looking for a matrix type of document.

>From the Sunsolve document: DocID: 14838

        (k) Since the A5000 is not supported on any non-Ultra systems, other
            than the SS1000E and the SS2000E, the only systems this patch is
            intended for are the SS1000E and the SS2000E. This patch on these
            systems supports the SSA subsystems and uses the luxadm commands.
