I've searched the forums, bug database, Solaris HCL and google, but please feel free to redirect me if this isn't the appropriate forum.
I'm trying to figure out the equivalent to the Device Configuration Assistant bootenv.rc and driver_aliases (?) files in OpenSolaris. I just can't seem to find the documentation about modifying the boot environment. I'm attempting to add support during install for an LSI MegaRAID i4 adapter. What I'm trying to do is get an LSI MegaRAID i4 aka Dell CERC ATA Raid card working during install with either Solaris 10 3/05 or bld 22 or later of OpenSolaris. I'm trying to use the RAID controller for the boot and other filesystems instead of booting from a SCSI or IDE boot device. I know there are issues with it, and it's probably not supported. I see it's listed in the HCL but it looks like it only works on a running system after modifying the config, and Solaris does not appear to support booting from this adapter. I managed to modify the DCA so that Solaris 10 would seem to recognize the card, at least it gave it as a boot option during install, but it still bombs out at the end saying no disks found. (I modified the bootenv.rc and the equivalent of driver_aliases) I tried this after upgrading the firmware to Dell's version 662 instead of LSI's 661 so perhaps it would work if I downgrade the firmware? I know it's entirely possible that this just isn't supported, but I'd like to make it work if I could. I'm building a 1 terabyte file server in my basement and it would be interesting to run it under OpenSolaris! --Mark This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-help mailing list [email protected]
