hardware assistance
Hoping someone can help clarify what I need.

At present I have a Sun Ultra 2 with two ultrawide scsi cards and 2-12 drive multipacks (one multipack to one card, the other multipack to the other card), 2 Sun Ultra 10's, and a Sun E4500 with a differential scsi card connected to a half filled D1000.

I recently found a great deal on a Sun C2 Autoloader LTO2, however after reading on the internet and consulting Anysystem.com, I don't think I have the correct scsi card to attach the C2 to anything I have, nor am I clear if I can find the correct card. Presently the E4500 is my production server, the Ultra 2 is development and the Ultra 10's are just around, so I am easy going regarding which machine I connect the C2 up to.

I found somewhere on the internet that said an E250 would work (which I am familiar with and is pretty inexpensive). I know the U2 and the E4500 are sbus and the U10's are pci. What I am looking for is:

Is there a SCSI LVD card available for any of the machines I have that is compatible with the C2 (Sun or otherwise)?

or

What is the cheapest machine I can get and the cheapest scsi card that will work (that is lvd) that I can connect to the C2 and I will set that to be a backup server, just backing up the other machines?

My background is in Systems administration and database administration. I am comfortable with the hardware, but I spend most of my time supporting software and I delve into hardware when needed. I can understand a hardware solution, my difficulty comes in optimizing it, I am just not familiar enough with the options.

I appreciate your help.

Best regards,

Paul

NAME

       smartcard - overview of smart card features on Solaris

DESCRIPTION

       The  smart  card  framework provides a mechanism to abstract the details of interacting with smart cards and smart cardreaders (called card
       terminals). The framework is based on the OpenCard Framework V1.1 (OCF) with Sun extensions to allow OCF to operate in a  multi-user  envi-
       ronment.   The  core OCF software protocol stack is implemented as a system service daemon. This implementation allows smart cards and card
       terminals to be shared cooperatively among many different clients on the system while providing access control to the smart card  and  card
       terminal resources on a per-UID basis.

       An  event dispatcher is provided to inform clients of events occuring on the card and at the card terminal, such as card insertion and card
       removal.

       A high-level authentication mechanism is provided to allow clients to perform smart card-based authentications without requiring  knowledge
       of specific card or reader authentication features.

       A  set  of applet administration tools is provided for JavaCards that support downloading Java applets (although applet build tools are not
       provided).

       Administration of the smart card framework is provided with the smartcard(1M) command line administration utility and  the  smartcardguiad-
       min(1) GUI administration tool.

       Support the following card terminal is provided:

	 o  Dallas iButton Serial Reader (see ocf_ibutton(7D))

       Additional card terminals can be supported by implementing smart card terminal interfaces in a shared library.

       Support for several smart cards is provided:

	 o  Schlumberger Cyberflex Access JavaCard

	 o  Schlumberger MicroPayflex

	 o  Dallas Semiconductor Java iButton JavaCard

       Each  of  the  supported  cards	has  a complete set of OCF card services that implement the necessary functionality for authentication and
       secure storage of data. For the two supported JavaCards, an authentication and secure data storage applet is provided that  can	be  loaded
       into these cards with the supplied applet administration tools. See smartcard(1M).

       A PAM smart card module is provided to allow PAM clients to use smart card-based authentication. See pam_smartcard(5)

       CDE  is	able  to use the PAM smart card module for dtlogin and dtsession authentication. CDE also uses the smart card framework event dis-
       patcher to listen for events on the card terminal and provide corresponding visual feedback to the user.
