Operating Systems Solaris Install Solaris 10 with an internal StorageTek SAS HBA Raid card Post 302257823 by pressy on Thursday 13th of November 2008 06:31:35 AM
Old 11-13-2008
i installed that combination two weeks ago.... you will see the disks after you've configured the raid....
you can download an install image from intel, with that liveCD you can configure your RAID-HBA using the arcconf command (or the GUI):
Sun StorageTek* SAS RAID HBA, Internal Downloads

It would be a good idea to use the latest solaris 10 10/08 update 6, this version already includes the HBA-Driver Module (aac... otherwise you will have to jumpstart that system with that specific driver, like mentioned in that documentation)

It is recommended to use the lastest firmware, i had problems with an old firmware seeing the HBA in the RAID-GUI. i also did that with the liveCD:
Code:
root@system # ls /tmp/fw
as580501.ufi  as580503.ufi  as580505.ufi  as580507.ufi
as580502.ufi  as580504.ufi  as580506.ufi

root@system # arcconf ROMUPDATE all /tmp/fw/as5805
Controllers found: 1

You must restart the system for firmware updates to take effect.

Are you sure you want to continue?
Press y, then ENTER to continue or press ENTER to abort: y

Updating controller 1 firmware...Succeeded
A new software image has been applied to controller 1.


Command completed successfully.

REBOOT

root@system # arcconf GETVERSION
