What is your definition of "work"?
NVidia MCPs work with SATA drives in IDE emulation mode under Solaris
(thus I am able to compose this message on an NForce 410)
Quoted from the web page above:
Internal disk
Up to two hot-pluggable 3.5 inch SATA or SATA II,
250 GB or 500 GB 7200 RPM disks supported.
"hot-pluggable" - you will find out only in a footnote (not on this specs
page) that this is only supported with MS Windows.

Still no mention of hot-pluggable not supported by Solaris.
Maybe here
http://www.sun.com/servers/entry/x2100/datasheet.pdf
... nope.
Perhaps in the FAQ
http://www.sun.com/servers/entry/x2100/faq.jsp
... hmm, no again.
Hopefully in the product notes
http://www.sun.com/products-n-solutions/hardware/docs/html/819-6594-11/
... no again.
I still haven't found the document which states that hot-plugging of disks is
not supported by Solaris.
So one can normally assume that advertized hot-plugging of a Sun hardware is
also supported on a Sun operating system - better not.
