Hi All, I have a IBM ServeRAID M1015 RAID controller which I tried to cross-flash to LSA 9211-8i IT mode as mentioned in this website: http://www.servethehome.com/ibm-serveraid-m1015-part-4/.
I have a IBM x3650 M3 server which I then use with the ServeRAID M1015 raid card to test if my card is working in the IT mode as mentioned. I have tried booting using OpenIndiana 151a and 151a7 LiveCD/USB to try and detect the card. The system is able to detect the raid card but when I tried to add the drivers "mpt_sas" to the system, I got the following errors: root@openindiana:~# add_drv -i "pci1014,3b1" mpt_sas devfsadm: driver failed to attach: mpt_sas Warning: Driver (mpt_sas) successfully added to system but failed to attach Feb 21 17:14:22 openindiana scsi: [ID 107833 kern.warning] WARNING: /pci@0,0/pci8086,3410@9/pci1014,3b1@0 (mpt_sas0): Feb 21 17:14:22 openindiana hard reset failed!

I have tried using an Ubuntu LiveCD and it can see the card and is able to detect the harddisks that is attached to the card. Does anyone have any similiar experience? Is there any other drivers or setting that I need to configure?
