The nv_sata driver supports the CK804 and MCP55 SATA HBA adapters
(pci10de,37f , pci10de,55 and pci10de,54) but I have a MCP51 SATA HBA
adapter (see below).
1) Is there some way I can tell the OpenSolaris 2008.11 Live CD to use
the nv_sata for this device?
(Something like the following the instructions at
http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/features/techtips/assign_device_to_driver.jsp).
2) Would it be wise to try the nv_sata dirver with the MCP51 or are
there some problems with this device which would need workarounds in the
driver?
3) Is there any compelling reason to use the SATA driver instead of the
PATA driver?
4) I only have Solaris 10 10/08 on my hard disk because it won't coexist
with OpenSolaris. Would it be safe to create a new ZFS boot environment
using live upgrade and use a modified version of the postinstall script
from SUNWnv-sata to fix the system? (Using the standard live upgrade
procedure to fallback to a previous boot environment if things go wrong).
Thanks
Nick
