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:

I need to install a raid HBA internal card on a T5240. The reason is I have
more drives and the current mother board controller does not support more
than 4 drives.
My question is I have raidctl set up on current drives. If I install new HBA
card do I have to delete current raidctl and... (3 Replies)
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)
i was given a task which needs to perform a raid 1 on the boot disk, and 4 other disks on raid 10.

Hello,

Dear all,
I have a new Oracle Blade X4-2B server, running Solaris 10.
The server comes with a HBA card that will not be used now. It has not fibers connected to it. As a consequence, its leds never stop flashing.
My question is: how to disable this HBA card, without removing it physically... (2 Replies)

MPT(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual MPT(4)NAME
mpt -- LSI Fusion-MPT SCSI/Fibre Channel driver
SYNOPSIS
To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your kernel configuration file:
device scbus
device mpt
Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5):
mpt_load="YES"
DESCRIPTION
The mpt driver provides support for the LSI Logic Fusion-MPT family of SCSI, Fibre Channel and SAS controllers.
HARDWARE
The following controllers are supported by the mpt driver:
o LSI Logic 53c1030, LSI Logic LSI2x320-X (Single and Dual Ultra320 SCSI)
o LSI Logic AS1064, LSI Logic AS1068 (SAS/SATA)
o LSI Logic FC909 (1Gb/s Fibre Channel)
o LSI Logic FC909A (Dual 1Gb/s Fibre Channel)
o LSI Logic FC919, LSI Logic 7102XP-LC (Single 2Gb/s Fibre Channel)
o LSI Logic FC929, LSI Logic FC929X, LSI Logic 7202XP-LC (Dual 2Gb/s Fibre Channel)
o LSI Logic FC949X (Dual 4Gb/s Fibre Channel)
o LSI Logic FC949E, LSI Logic FC949ES (Dual 4Gb/s Fibre Channel PCI-Express)
The Ultra 320 SCSI controller chips supported by the mpt driver can be found onboard on many systems including:
o Dell PowerEdge 1750 thru 2850
o IBM eServer xSeries 335
These systems also contain Integrated Raid Mirroring and Integrated Raid Mirroring Enhanced which this driver also supports.
The SAS controller chips are also present on many new AMD/Opteron based systems, like the Sun 4100. Note that this controller can drive both
SAS and SATA drives or a mix of them at the same time. The Integrated Raid Mirroring available for these controllers is poorly supported at
best.
The Fibre Channel controller chipset are supported by a broad variety of speeds and systems. The Apple Fibre Channel HBA is in fact the
FC949ES card.
This driver also supports target mode for Fibre Channel cards. This support may be enabled by setting the desired role of the core via the
LSI Logic firmware utility that establishes what roles the card can take on - no separate compilation is required.
