It's the driver for newer LSI cards. Pretty common on intel, less so on
SPARC. The
fact it was broken for years and nobody complained indicates it's not that
heavily
used by people running illumos on SPARC. Apart from people installing an
add-on
card, I think the only place this is used that's likely to affect us is as
the main HBA
on the T3 and T4 systems. (And we only really support up to T3 anyway,
although T4
might mostly work.)

What does the mpt_sas driver do, anyway?  I get this error message too,
but I don't notice anything that doesn't work on my T2000.  My choices
are to fix it or remove it.

That would be

https://www.illumos.org/issues/6481

which, fortunately, was easy to fix.

A very first quick feedback:

I used a LDOM on a T5220 with 10G RAM and 8 threads, a 100G vdisk
and a vnet.

Installation went fine, booted right away on the first attempt.
It has issues with with mpt_sas on the CD-ROM:

--8<---cut here---start->8---
Boot device: disk  File and args: 
SunOS Release 5.11 Version illumos-07ba7ce06c 64-bit

WARNING: mod_load: cannot load module 'mpt_sas'
WARNING: mpt_sas: unable to resolve dependency, module 'misc/sata' not found
Hostname: openindiana
--8<---cut here---end--->8---

And when selecting "whole disk" the install fails being unable to
create the zpool (probably some naming issues with vdisks), but
worked fine on a slice install.

Now it is installed and I'll install the repo software tomorrow
and give zones a spin. So far this looks amazing and I have to
congratulate you for this awesome result!

[oi-dev] OI SPARC ISO and repository available for download

2019-11-10 Thread Gary Mills
I now have my Open Indiana hipster ISO and IPS repository ready for
download.  You can obtain them as:

https://apt.dilos.org/oi-sparc/OI_2018_Text_SPARC.iso.gz
https://apt.dilos.org/oi-sparc/OI_2018_repository.tar.gz

To verify these files, use the following checksums:

$ digest -a sha256 OI_2018_Text_SPARC.iso.gz  
401af052e33d2f2aaa5bd0c62251194e2882ed9164c72b76757def962fceb883
$ digest -a sha256 OI_2018_repository.tar.gz
4929c8abd31a944be2ceb0e35251f5b0bc972e1524828c0faee83a7407c271d6

The ISO did boot and install on my T2000.  I'd like to know if it
boots on other SPARC machines, and also if it boots and runs in a
zone.  I only tested it on real hardware.

I did have to boot it twice.  The first boot command always failed,
but the second succeeded.  I don't know why this happens.  This is
the OBP command I used, both times:

{0} ok boot cdrom

Only the text installer is available.  Eventually, it will give you a
welcome message and a menu.  The installer will ask you to select a
disk from a list of available disks, and prompt for a user name and
password, and also for a root password.  Beware that it installs onto
the active disk by default.  Select another disk, if this is not what
you want.  It will install OI SPARC on that disk, and change the OBP
variable boot-device to boot that disk.  If that is not what you want,
change it before rebooting.

Please also let me know if the install succeeds for you.
