Caveat user: I am not on the team that is working on integrating this driver, nor do I have the hardware to test it with. I hope this information is helpful, though. You can currently download the driver from LSI's web site: http://www.lsi.com/storage_home/products_home/internal_raid/megaraid_sas/megaraid_sas_8888elp/index.html?remote=1&locale=EN_ Grab the Solaris x86 download (currently version 1.17). The install instructions talk about a fresh install, which is not what you want from the sounds of it. I suggest trying the following. My understanding is that it should work. You'll download a file called something like "HWR_SAS_Driver_SOLARIS_1.17.zip". If you unzip that file, you'll end up with the following: Archive: HWR_SAS_Driver_SOLARIS_1.17.zip Length Date Time Name -------- ---- ---- ---- 4238 10-31-07 17:03 Solaris-ITU-Install.txt 462582 10-31-07 02:17 components.tgz 668 07-23-07 15:20 SAS_Solaris_Driver_00.00.01.17.txt -------- ------- 467488 3 files You'll want to extract the components.tgz, and will see the following files: -rwxrwxrwx root/root 1456128 2007-02-13 12:53 ./mega_sas.img -rwxr-xr-x root/root 636928 2007-10-30 14:44 ./mega_sas.iso -rwxrwxrwx root/root 52736 2007-02-13 12:53 ./i386.tar -rwxrwxrwx root/root 126464 2007-02-13 12:53 ./x86_64.tar If you're on a 64-bit system, use x86_64.tar, otherwise use i386.tar and adjust accordingly. I'll assume 64-bit for the example. Extract x86_64.tar, and you should see the following: drwxrwxrwx 0/0 0 Feb 9 11:11 2007 ./x86_64/ -rw-r--r-- 0/0 116208 Feb 13 12:51 2007 ./x86_64/mega_sas -rwxrwxrwx 0/0 1146 Feb 8 15:57 2007 ./x86_64/install.sh -rw-rw-rw- 0/0 5228 Sep 19 12:10 2006 ./x86_64/mega_sas.conf You'll need to be root at this point. Copy the mega_sas.conf file to /kernel/drv, then run the install.sh script. I'm not sure why the install script doesn't copy the conf file for you. > work with OpenSolaris for my nearline setup.

Unfortunately, I think you'll have to wait until at least build 86 which is when the driver should be integrated.
