Hi, I modified the Sun LSI MegaRAID Driver floppy (available as download from Sun) so that recognised the LSI MegaRAID SATA300-8X and it possible that the same driver would work with the SAS Controller. Boot into Solaris x86 and get to the GUI, open a Terminal and run /usr/X11/bin/scanpci this will return details of all PCI devices. It should recognise the LSI controller (eg SATA300-8X controller)
pci bus 0x0084 cardnum 0x0e function 0x00: vendor 0x1000 device 0x0409 LSI Logic / Symbios Logic MegaRAID The standard LSI Mega Driver recognises the following LSI references vendor 1028 device 13 vendor 1000 device 407 vendor 1000 device 407.1000.532 vendor 1000 device 408 vendor 1000 device 408.1000.2 vendor 1000 device 1960 vendor 1001 device 1965 Modified Driver here (is here ftp://[EMAIL PROTECTED]/pub/lsimega60modified.img.bz2 for next 30 days or so) vendor 1000 device 409 vendor 1000 device 409.1000.3008 vendor 1000 device 409.1000.3008.a In order to add further devices the process is simple, take the Sun LSI Driver create the floppy using the img file.

If you are using Solaris 10 8/07, I found the install appearred to stop at 97%, the install.log indicated that the install was complete, so I rebooted. The system failed to boot, the instructions below fixed it. 1. Boot from the Solaris 10 8/07 DVD 2. Add the modified SUN LSI MegaRAID driver from the floppy 3. End, the system will automatically boot 4. Press Enter when prompt for a GUI install 5. Enter your locale information 6. Start Terminal 6a. mount your lsi megaraid sata disk as /a , eg # mount -F ufs /dev/dsk/c2t0d0s0 /a 6b. mount the floppy # mkdir /tmp/floppy # mount -F pcfs -o ro /dev/diskette0 /tmp/floppy 6c. change directory to floppy # cd /tmp/floppy/DU/ 6d. run the install-finish script as shown # ./install-finish /a 6e. wait for command to finish, then reboot If other LSI MegaRAID cards can be checked, then these cards can be used to update the standard Solaris configuration to make it easier for others. After a reboot the following error message appear but Solaris continured to boot Oct 3 23:05:07 fred genunix: [ID 936769 kern.info] sd2 is /[EMAIL PROTECTED],0/pci10de,[EMAIL PROTECTED]/pci1033,[EMAIL PROTECTED],1/pci8086,[EMAIL PROTECTED]/pci1000,[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED],0 Oct 3 23:05:07 fred genunix: [ID 613727 kern.warning] WARNING: Page83 data not standards compliant MegaRAID LD 0 RAID5 712G 815C Oct 3 23:05:07 fred scsi: [ID 107833 kern.warning] WARNING: /[EMAIL PROTECTED],0/pci10de,[EMAIL PROTECTED]/pci1033,[EMAIL PROTECTED],1/pci8086,[EMAIL PROTECTED]/pci1000,[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED],0 (sd2): Oct 3 23:05:07 fred sd_get_write_cache_enabled: Mode Sense returned invalid block descriptor length Oct 3 23:05:07 fred unix: [ID 190185 kern.info] SMBIOS v2.4 loaded (2707 bytes) Is this error going to be addressed in the LSI MegaRAID driver fix?
