Hello list,

We have some 500 or so Supermicro 6014-L which feature the 300ESB SATA controller on-board. The system does work when BIOS is set to PATA emulation, however, since it does not think it is SATA, "cfgadm" does not list them either. So we have the situation where all hardware is hot-swappable SATA drives, but Solaris will not let us hot-swap.

Are there any solutions as to make cfgadm recognise this device as SATA?
As far as I know, the current Solaris has no way to support this controller working as native SATA mode, so it doesn't support hot-swap function.
