Hi, you could try LSI itmpt driver as well, it seems to handle this
better, although I think it only supports 8 devices at once or so.
You could also try more recent version of opensolaris (123 or even
126), as there seems to be a lot fixes regarding mpt-driver (which
still seems to have issues).
I won't speak for the OP, but I've been seeing this same behaviour on 126
with LSI 1068E based cards (Supermicro USAS-L8i). For the LSI driver,
how does one install it? I'm new to OpenSolaris and don't want to mess it
up. It looked to be very old, is Solaris backward compatibility that
good?
I don't know whether itmpt has been updated to cope with OpenSolaris.
Use it at your own risk.
It would be really nice if Sun would at least acknowledge the bug and
that they can/can't reproduce it. I'm happy to supply information and
test things if it will help. I have some spare disks I can attach to one
of these cards and test driver updates and such. It sounds like people
with Sun hardware are experiencing this as well.
The first step towards "acknowledging" that there is a problem
is you logging a bug in bugs.opensolaris.org. If you don't, we
don't know that there might be a problem outside of the ones
that we identify.
