Good to see updates for CAM happening on a regular basis.

CAM on Opensolaris is a nightmare actually.

SunFire X4140 plus J4400 (3R20 Bios) and LSI HBAs

-> Tried CAM 6.2.0
-> necessary patches tried to install
-> dry run seems okay -> installation failed.
-> no documentation for opensolaris available
-> no prerequisites posted ...

cam 6.4.0 is out now - why not integrated with all needed patches?
so that the old versions are obsolete? some more testing would be wonderful..
or is testing only for kids and grandma's?
