Not realy my 280R has 2x1.2Ghz CPU's with 8MB cache, 2gb RAM, its pretty goot 
Sparc system, I have HBA connected to SAN switches, only 2GB link though, but 
still performance that my previous admin here was getting much better on that 
HP 
DL360 comparing to that box. So now I am left with two systems and on the task 
list is to consolidate those two systems into one... He was also saying that 
instead of using HBA to connect to my tape library to use scsi to directly 
connect it together.. My tape library is also HP MSL6030 that has both scsi and 
fc to connect to... I dont have a time to play with performance tuning and 
getting that out of my way but certainly at some point I will need to focus on 
it... Ehh, to much work and no much time to do all the tasks...

Thanks for help.

Chris
