Installed Solaris 10 8-07 x86 version on a Dell PowerEdge 2950 successfully
I called the Dell customer service folks and they emailed me the link to the correct driver and it worked!
Driver: MegaRAID SAS 8888ELP
OS: Solaris 10 8-07 x86 version
Platform: Dell Power Edge 2950 (6 x SAS 146 GB 10K drives)
Link to driver: MegaRAID SAS 8888ELP : MegaRAID SAS/SATA Feature Line : MegaRAID SAS/SATA : Internal RAID : Products : Storage : LSI
I downloaded the file HWR_SAS_Driver_SOLARIS_1.17.zip and unzipped it using WinRAR to get a file called components.tgz. Unzipped that file and got the file mega_sas.iso. I then used Nero to burn the image to disk.
Booted from the Solaris 10 DVD again and when I got to options 1-6: I chose option 5, update drivers. Chose c for cdrom/dvdrom, inserted the dvd and hit enter. After I hit enter I got the message:
CD in /dev/dsk/c2t0d0p0 does not contain driver updates
extracting software in /dev/dsk/c3t0d0p0
installing driver update in the miniroot
Insert media and enter media type:
Floppy [f], CD/DVD [c] or End [e]
At that point I entered e for end and then put back in the Solaris DVD and hit enter. It went back to the Solaris config screen after that and then followed the steps as usual. I didn't get that error from before: No Hard Disks found.

Hi All,
I am a RH Linux admin that recently started working at a company with a number of SUN Servers so it's been an interesting transition.

mfi
MFI(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual MFI(4) NAME
mfi -- LSI MegaRAID SAS driver SYNOPSIS
To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your kernel configuration file: device pci device mfi Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5): mfi_load="YES" DESCRIPTION
This driver is for LSI's next generation PCI Express SAS RAID controllers. Access to RAID arrays (logical disks) from this driver is pro- vided via /dev/mfid? device nodes. A simple management interface is also provided on a per-controller basis via the /dev/mfi? device node. The mfi name is derived from the phrase "MegaRAID Firmware Interface", which is substantially different than the old "MegaRAID" interface and thus requires a new driver. Older SCSI and SATA MegaRAID cards are supported by amr(4) and will not work with this driver. Two sysctls are provided to tune the mfi driver's behavior when a request is made to remove a mounted volume. By default the driver will disallow any requests to remove a mounted volume. If the sysctl dev.mfi.%d.delete_busy_volumes is set to 1, then the driver will allow mounted volumes to be removed. HARDWARE
The mfi driver supports the following hardware: o LSI MegaRAID SAS 1078 o LSI MegaRAID SAS 8408E o LSI MegaRAID SAS 8480E o LSI MegaRAID SAS 9260 o Dell PERC5 o Dell PERC6 o IBM ServeRAID M5015 SAS/SATA o IBM ServeRAID-MR10i o Intel RAID Controller SROMBSAS18E FILES
/dev/mfid? array/logical disk interface /dev/mfi? management interface DIAGNOSTICS
mfid%d: Unable to delete busy device An attempt was made to remove a mounted volume. SEE ALSO
amr(4), pci(4), mfiutil(8) HISTORY
The mfi driver first appeared in FreeBSD 6.1. AUTHORS
