I am trying to get a Solaris x86 driver to work with a
LSI MEGARaid 8208ELP PCI express SAS/SATA card.
The mega_sas driver does not appear to recognise the card.
The man page states that the driver support the 8208 card which is uses the LSI
1068e. Does the mega_sas only support the LSI 1078? or should it work with the
8208ELP?
It looks like the card is not included in the driver_aliases. I have tried
adding it to the list, pciex 1000:59.1000.3002 ,but no luck.
I would be grateful if someone can provide some guidance or advice.
The machine is being used to evaluate the throughput capabilities of different
hardware configs with ZFS. Currently using 9 Seagate Baracuda 7200.11 SATA
drives. I am happy to experiment with drivers etc as the data is not precious
and I have time available to explore different avenues.
I am assuming that the mega_sas is the appropriate driver as the card is listed
as support in the man page. However would it make more sense to try the mfi
driver? I am happy to try the latest nevada builds if that makes sense. I have
been using Solaris 10 u5, as well as Nevada 82 and 86.
