Jan,

Actually its a little known fact the the controller on a V440 is actually 
a hardware raid controller.  Booting off of it is probably not support nor
do I know anyone that uses it this way..most SUN systems use Veritas or 
Sun Volume Manager (aka Disksuire) to mirror the boot disk etc.

See my other reply in this thread.  I found the V440 quite capable but
apparrently as one tries to drive the gigabit NICs faster more CPU
is needed.   

I'd love to know if any of SUN's new dual core CPUs help in this regard.
