Note:
The below is Edmund's configuration for his setup, which also shows a
good example of having different options for different devices.
It was I who thought this was config from Nextentastor - it was not!
(Sorry for my slow brain, sadly it is the only one I got! :-) )

You will definitely want to have a Smart Array card (p411 or p811) on hand
to update the firmware on the enclosure. Make sure you're on firmware
version 0131. You may also want to update the disk firmware at the same

To get multipathing, you need to configure the scsi_vhci driver, in
/kernel/drv/scsi_vhci.conf for sol10 or /etc/driver/drv/scsi_vhci.conf for
sol11-x86. To get better

It is different Sun/Oracle X4NN0s, x86-86 boxes.

You shouldn't need to do this for mpt_sas HBAs such as

I'd be wary of purchasing HP HBAs without getting a firsthand report
from someone that they're compatible. I've seen several HP controllers
that use LSI chip sets but are crippled in that they won't present
drives as JBOD. That said, I've used a few of the HBAs sourced from
LSI resellers and they
