    Hi Chris,

    We have an environment running OmniOS with both ConnectX and ConnectX-2
    cards. The Hermon and Tavor drivers work very well.

    The only problem we had was that the CX-2 cards would only sync at 20gb/s.
    We export Comstar iSER targets and they have been rock solid for us for
    over a year.

    Dave
