I found a workaround: I used the Solaris 11.3 installer (the last
Solaris to support UltraSPARC T2) to assemble a RAID 1 volume that next
the OpenBSD installer was able to use. The volume works fine.

Hi,
I have a Sun Oracle Netra T5220. It has the Symbios Logic SAS1068E
RAID controller.
I would like to install OpenBSD on a RAID 1 drive (a mirror). I
put two identical drives but I cannot assemble a mirror drive with the
installer. In the installer shell, dmesg reports:
mpi0 at pci8 dev 0 function 0 "Symbios Logic SAS1068E" rev 0x04: ivec 0x16
mpi0: UNUSED, firmware 1.27.2.0
So I try:
# bioctl -ivh mpi0
But no output can be seen. These are the drives I tried:
* 2 x SAS Seagate HDD 146 GB,
* 2 x SAS DELL SSD 400 GB,
* 2 x SATA Patriot 256 GB.
The bioctl can see none of them. I know the physical drives are OK.
I would appreciate it if someone could let me know what to do.
Thanks,
Irek
