Sorry to bear bad news...

Quick point -- SS20 is not supported on A5000 and won't be.
(there are no "sf" FC/AL drivers for sun4m class systems)

Also the A5000 *is* supported on SS1000E (up to 1 TB worth)
but not on the "plain" SS1000.  Don't know if that's because
it's never been tested or because someone plugged it in and
verified it doesn't work.

In any case, given the age of the SS1000 I doubt there's any
plan to add support for it (but note I work in the field, not
engineering, and further I'm physically about as far away from
the storage group as I can get and still be on the same planet :-)

It is supported on U2 (and E450), though you need to check
patch and hardware versions, supported configurations, etc
with your local SE for the latest info.

HTH,

Stuart.
