Install Solaris 10 with an internal StorageTek SAS HBA Raid card
Hi all
i would like to ask some suggests about my next job!
I have to install a new Sun Netra T5220, with an additional internal StorageTek SAS HBA Raid.
The problem come in if every disk is now controlled by the HBA, how can I install the OS?
No disk is being detected by the OS.
SAS card detected with no issue.
Is network install the only way out?
Thanks in advance.
Regards

I have a V490 that has couple internal disks attached to the same dual-port HBA card that I'm planning attach to the SAN for additional storage.
Would I sacrifice performance if I use the same HBA?
Is it better to throw in a new HBA instead? (1 Reply)

HPT27XX(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual HPT27XX(4)
NAME
hpt27xx -- HighPoint RocketRAID 27xx SAS 6Gb/s HBA card driver
SYNOPSIS
To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following line in your kernel configuration file:
device hpt27xx
Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5):
hpt27xx_load="YES"
DESCRIPTION
The hpt27xx driver provides support for HighPoint's RocketRAID 27xx based RAID controller.
These devices support SAS disk drives and provide RAID0 (striping), RAID1 (mirroring), and RAID5 functionality.
HARDWARE
The hpt27xx driver supports the following SAS controllers:
o HighPoint's RocketRAID 271x series
o HighPoint's RocketRAID 272x series
o HighPoint's RocketRAID 274x series
o HighPoint's RocketRAID 276x series
o HighPoint's RocketRAID 278x series
NOTES
The hpt27xx driver only works on the i386 and amd64 platforms as it requires a binary blob object from the manufacturer which they only sup-
ply for these platforms. The hpt27xx driver does not work on i386 with pae(4) enabled.
SEE ALSO
kld(4), kldload(8), loader(8)

The hpt27xx device driver first appeared in FreeBSD 10.0.
