Solstice DiskSuite 4.2 includes the following new features:
Solstice DiskSuite 4.2 is 64-bit compliant. This means that DiskSuite operates on Solaris 7. DiskSuite recognizes whether the computer is booted in 64-bit or 32-bit mode, and the 4.2 release will support either mode.
Solstice DiskSuite 4.2 supports alternate pathing. This allows DiskSuite to see the alternate pathing pseudo devices that are provided on E10000 Enterprise Servers.
