They are a mixture of Adaptec and AMI chipsets. They all seem to work fine now. We have PERC2/QC, 2/SC, 3/SI and 2/DI (I think) all in production now. We run SMP on a 2300 and on 6300s with few problems. The only apparently SMP related problem we had was with Vinum. The plexes were not setup correctly and this seemed to trigger a fault with vinum that only appeared with SMP enabled. I disabled SMP on that box and it was stable for 12 months or so until we moved the disks to an IBM Shark. The 2300 is running SMP and vinum with correctly setup plexes with no problems. Carl.
