Hi Folks,

I hesitate to post this email actually because I really appreciate
the David's contribution on MFI driver.. But for avoiding unnecessary
conflicts, I decide to issue the question.

It looks like MFI driver drives same serials HBA as megasas(7D) driver.

MFI driver is contributed by David Gwynne(OpenSolaris community).
megasas driver is written by LSI(the vendor of the Mega RAID).

Our team( Sun x86-storage-driver team) had plan to integrate the
megasas driver into Solaris but suspended by legal agreement(I think).
And days ago, our team helped solve some problems about megasas driver
on Intel platforms.

I think we'd better involve Patric.Green and Sun IHV team into the
discussion about MFI driver integration because I think the proposal
of MFI integration is conflict with our team's roadmap.

Currently, about megasas driver, you can refer to below url:
http://wikis.sun.com/display/BigAdmin/How+To+Install+Solaris+10+on+Intel+Platforms+with++LSI+MegaRaid+SAS+1078+Controllers

If my understanding about MFI driver is not correct or MFI driver
drives different hardwares with megasas driver, please feel free
to correct me.

Thanks
Javen
