Opensolaris (as new as snv_133) does not automatically detect disks on this hardware (specifically on an older Dell PowerEdge 6000SC). I did the following on the LiveCD to get it to work:
add_drv -i ‘pci1028,475′ lsimega
I got the numbers above from the “prtpicl” tool, using “prtpicl -v” and searching for MegaRaid:
:name pci1028,475
sd (block, b6000002f8)
:class scsi
:inquiry-device-type 0
:inquiry-vendor-id MegaRAID
:inquiry-product-id LD 0 RAID0 139G
Hope this helps someone other than myself. I also added a blank file named “ADD_DRV_IGNORE_ROOT_BASEDIR” to / as per a bug post but I do not believe that had any effect. I did stumble a bit before I found this (chasing around a PERC 5 driver) but I don’t recall trying to install this driver beforehand.
