Please see the May 20 post to the "HBA's for comstar" thread.

Unfortunately, the problem is that the LP1050EX-E adapter you are using is 
considered a "mid-range level" adapter (less expensive model) and the Solaris 
driver is designed to only operate with "Enterprise level" adapters (more 
expensive models).  The driver is technically capable of supporting it, but the 
firmware on the adapter will not allow it to initialize with the driver.  The 
0xf0a5  device id listed in the driver_aliases file was put there to support a 
special enterprise level 2G Blade adapter we also sell.    It is only 
coincidence that your mid-range adapter also had the same device id, which 
allowed the driver to attempt adapter initialization.  However, the 
initialization failed because of a firmware incompatibility.
