Hi all,

I want to know if Solaris 10 x86 can see and use:

1. Adaptec SAS controller ASR-1045
2. HP StorageWorks LTO-4 Ultrium 1760 SAS tape drive.

The prtconf -pv shows the message. The /dev/rmt/* is empty
after reconfigure.

Thank you very much.

When you enter Adaptec SAS Bios configuration and scan for SAS devices,
is your HP StorageWorks Drive listed?

Yes. The drive is listed; I have tested the controller to rewind and eject
tape normally. I think that Solaris needs driver of Adaptec SAS controller.

Thank you.

Hi,

As root run scanpci with will provide details of the pci devices in your
computer as follows

# scanpci

# /usr/X11/bin/scanpci

pci bus 0x0000 cardnum 0x00 function 0x00: vendor 0x10de device 0x0369
nVidia Corporation MCP55 Memory Controller

.... many lines of output

pci bus 0x0083 cardnum 0x0e function 0x00: vendor 0x1000 device 0x0409
LSI Logic / Symbios Logic MegaRAID

#

Find the entry for your Adaptec SAS controller and note the vendor and
device information. Above for the LSI controller

Vendor 0x1000
Device 0x0409

Now grep for "1000,409" in /etc/driver_aliases

# grep "1000,409" /etc/driver_aliases
lsimega "pci1000,409"

#

This indicates there is a driver for the LSI controller, perform the
task commands but using the Adaptec Vendor and Device codes, to see if
your Adaptec has a driver.

If not it is possible to add an entry to /etc/driver_aliases and use an
existing Adaptec driver to control your card.
