Just to expand a bit on Darren's response, there are several issues
that led us to use Veritas (a lot of these will apply in general
anyway):

- Yes, there is 1 TB max on Solaris 8 fileystem.  We briefly
entertained Solaris 9's larger filesystems but it's a recent backport
from Solaris 10, which is not even out yet.  We're not going to use a
feature from a beta OS on a production machine, esecially our NW
server.

- Number of filesystems that can be mounted on one system (32 I
think).

- We only had 22 open 'device' slots available after tape drive use,
so only 11 adv_file mounts max.

- We needed to map 81 TB from the BladeStore (yes you heard that one
right...).  STK's RDAC failover would only map 32 LUNS per host to
Solaris, Veritas DMP will map 256 per host.
