BTW, the vendor and device ID (from prtconf -pv) is

vendor-id: 00001000
device-id: 00000054

# update_drv -a -i '"pci1000,54"' mpt

I did 'ls -l' one on of the attached disks to find the device path, then
matched that up with the 'name' field from 'prtconf -pv'. Is there an
easier way to find this info? Like 'lspci' on Linux.

I use Dan Mick's prtpci while others use /usr/X11/bin/scanpci.

The mpt driver that comes with S10 does not recognize the LSI SAS HBA.
I believe it only recognizes the onboard controller.

Which LSI SAS HBAs don't work with mpt(7D)?

3442X, which is the only one I've tried. It looks like all the (non-RAID)
SAS HBAs are the same thing, just having different system interfaces
(PCIX or PCIE) and different SAS connectors (internal vs external).
So if the 3442X doesn't work, I don't expect the others to work.

What happens when you try to add their vendor/device id's with
update_drv(1M)?

I wasn't aware of that command. I'll try it when I get the chance to
free up a system to try S10U2. (a week or so.)

Didn't need to. It (a 3442E) worked out of the box with U2. I'm sure
the 3442X will work as well.
