Hi All, I've required two additional SATA ports for my home zfs server and was tempted by the post that the Marvell 88SE9128 worked well with OpenSolaris:
http://opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=129352&tstart=0 The actual card I am using is a HighPoint Rocket 620A which is a Marvell 88SE9128 implementation. The HBA is identified correctly and the AHCI driver is loaded according to Device Driver Utility. However the disks cannot be presented to the OS: j...@charger:~$ cfgadm -l Ap_Id Type Receptacle Occupant Condition sata4/0::dsk/c9t0d0 disk connected configured ok sata4/1::dsk/c9t1d0 disk connected configured ok sata5/0::dsk/c10t0d0 disk connected configured ok sata5/1::dsk/c10t1d0 disk connected configured ok sata6/0 unknown connected unconfigured unknown sata6/1 unknown connected unconfigured unknown sata6/2 sata-port empty unconfigured ok sata6/3 sata-port empty unconfigured ok sata6/4 sata-port empty unconfigured ok sata6/5 sata-port empty unconfigured ok sata6/6 sata-port empty unconfigured ok sata6/7 sata-port empty unconfigured ok ... sata6/0 and 6/1 is where they should appear above.

I've since noticed the AHCI manual entry lists which cards/chipsets are supported and this one is not listed. My questions are: a) should this card work? b) if so, what do I need to do differently?
