I'm a little late to the party here. First, I'd like to thank those pioneers
I have used these cards several UIO capable Supermicro systems and Opensolaris,
with the Supermicro storage chassis and up to 30 stata 1Tb disks.
With IT mode firmware (non-raid) they are excellent. They usually have the
"hardware assisted" raid firmware by default.
The card is designed for the

No, I don't believe so, I found out that it's a port unique to Supermicro
boards, and you only get one port per board, which pretty much rules this card
out.
However, there's a PCI-e card from LSI using the same chipset. LSISAS3081, or
something like that. A quick search for LSISAS and Solari

Yeah, it's not really 'easy', but certainly better than nothing.
I would imagine it would be possible to write a script that could link all
three drive identifiers, and from there it would relatively simple to create a
chart adding the physical location too.

My Supermicro H8DA3-2's onboard 1068E SAS chip isn't recognized in OpenSolaris,
and I'd like to keep this particular system "all Supermicro," so the L8i it is.
I know there have been issues with Supermicro-branded 1068E controllers, so
just wanted to verify that the stock mpt driver supports it.
Better late than never now thatI have that cable debacle cleared up :) This
card works great with 2008.05and I haven't had any problems. And All I can say
is Wow is it fast compared to my nvidia and other AOC card.

What version of Solaris? OpenSolaris? etc?
I'd want to use this card with the latest Solaris 10 (update 5?)
