Here's the same sections as what you gave; if anything else is needed,
just let me know. (And thanks for the GUID explanation.)

Yes, I know this isn't a common usage :). Well, for one thing, it's
impossible as of right now to manipulate the raid configuration at all
from Solaris, and SVM would give me some flexibility. And using SVM
makes LiveUpgrade possible while still RAID1'ing the only drives I have
in the system.
I realize I don't need the RAID controller at all for this, but it's in
the machine now, and I don't have physical access for awhile. I'd be
fine with bypassing the RAID controller altogether, but from the
reading I've done, this appears to not be possible (at least, without
taking out the card or something). And hey, it lets me troubleshoot a
driver.

Thanks for your updates! And I'd be happy to test more versions of the
driver as you wish.
