why has it to be solaris 9? solaris 10 runs very well on a 280r server... also there was an error with the dvd firmware on this kind of servers... have a look at the output of "probe-scsi-all" from ok prompt level... the dvd fw shoud be 1009 but not below... to update the fw you might need patch number 111649 from sunsolve.
