Hi Robert, Unfortunately I don't have visibility of when LSI's driver might become avilable in OpenSolaris. I also do not know whether there are plans to backport that driver to a Solaris 10 update release. In the meantime, David's mfi driver should get you through. It's well written (he also wrote the OpenBSD mfi) and he's very responsive if you have questions or driver behaviour which you would like analysed. I've cc'd Patrick and Garrett who are a little closer to the LSI MegaRAID action than I am and I hope they'll be able to shed more light on the matter. best regards, James C.
