More than likely OpenSolaris will not get FC drivers simply because it is targeted at desktop as opposed to Enterprise users. Solaris 11 will most definitely have them, along with SCSI and iSCSI support. But this is all speculation at this point because Sun could change direction tomorrow.

If Open Solaris is targeted at the desktop, and not developers like SXDE and enterprise servers like every other version of Solaris, let me predict the outcome:

FAIL.

You seriously can't think that between Ubuntu, Blue Curve/RHEL, Gentoo, Windows and OS X, this thing has even a remote shot in hell?

Note all 3 work on (FC, SCSI, iSCSI) on RHEL.

This divided strategy is a proven failure by an OS with a lot more users: Fedora/CENTOS/RHEL.

Redhat tried to divide RHEL into WS/Server/etc.

Nearly everyone uses CENTOS, since it does not divide.
