Yes, the LSISAS1068 is supported by the mpt driver.

I don't see what your problem is, you don't indicate at all. mpt(7d) is a closed driver, but it is part of with OpenSolaris... what are you actually concerned about here? If you want to manage the Dell-VIRTUALDISK-1028 then I suggest you investigate the raidctl(1m) command. James C.
