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
Controllers found: 1
Controller #1

Firmware           : 5.2-0 (15825)
Staged Firmware    : 5.2-0 (15825)

NAME
aac -- Adaptec AdvancedRAID Controller driver SYNOPSIS
aac* at pci? dev ? function ? ld* at aac? unit ? DESCRIPTION
The aac driver provides support for the Adaptec AAC family of SCSI and SATA RAID controllers. These controllers support RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, and volume sets. They have four channels in the add-in version or 1-2 channels in the motherboard integrated version, and are most often found rebadged by Dell, Hewlett-Packard or IBM. Supported controllers include: o Adaptec AAC-364 o Adaptec SCSI RAID 2120S o Adaptec SCSI RAID 2200S o Adaptec SATA RAID 2410SA o Adaptec SATA RAID 3405 o Adaptec SCSI RAID 5400S o Dell PERC 2/Si o Dell PERC 2/QC o Dell PERC 3/Di o Dell PERC 3/Si o Dell PERC 320/DC o Dell CERC SATA RAID 1.5/6ch o HP NetRAID 4M o HP ML110 G2 (Adaptec SATA RAID 2610SA) o IBM ServeRAID 8k Access to RAID containers is available via the ld device driver. Individual drives cannot be accessed unless they are part of a container or volume set, and non-fixed disks cannot be accessed. Containers can be configured by using the on-board BIOS utility of the card. DIAGNOSTICS
The adapter can send status and alert messages asynchronously to the driver. These messages are printed on the system console. SEE ALSO
intro(4), ld(4) HISTORY
The aac driver first appeared in NetBSD 1.6, and was based on the FreeBSD driver of the same name. BUGS
This driver is not compatible with controllers that have version 1.x firmware. The firmware version is the same as the kernel version printed in the BIOS POST and driver attach messages. BSD
