Hi Andrew, Did the steps you described below ever work for you to get your ServeRAID-7K working?
If you did, great, becuse I'm attempting to do the same thing now. Were these steps correct? > Well, here's what I've done so far: > > Get a copy of the install DVD onto a read-write disk: > > 1. Put OpenSolaris DVD in drive. > 2. cd to /media > 3. run "tar -cf /root/os.tar SOL_11_X86" (I create a /root directory for > root's home directory, and I'm creating a tar file because untarring it again > is much faster than copying it from the DVD if I mess something up.) > 4. cd to /root > 5. run "tar -xf os.tar" to extract the DVD files into the current directory > > Now, add the ips driver to the boot image from the install DVD.
