ESRTII - Embedded Server RAID Technology. You can turn the SAS devices on a S5000PSL into softraid/fakeraid/BIOSraid, you may be able to to do the same with the SATA-only version of the board, but I do not have that so I can't confirm.
By the way, Solaris 10u4 does **NOT** work on the S5000PSLSAS and will hang under SUNWvts load with pcplusmp: NMI received messages. Solaris 11 svn 79b says the following: fmd: [ID 441519 daemon.error] SUNW-MSG-ID: PCIEX-8000-0A, TYPE: Fault, VER: 1, SEVERITY: Critical EVENT-TIME: Sat Feb 9 18:36:29 PST 2008 PLATFORM: S5000PSL, CSN: SHU9057872400A1, HOSTNAME: soleven SOURCE: eft, REV: 1.16 EVENT-ID: cb3834a2-4ad3-4510-c645-a4a3e205d3ab DESC: A problem was detected for a PCIEX device.
