I have a server (currently running linux) that I'm hoping to convert to OI.
The first point in question is whether or not OI will support the 3ware
controller card.
I looked at the OI HCL on the wiki, and it's basically an empty list, so I hope
the actual compatibility is more than just what's on that page...
I booted the OI CD, and it scans for storage, and says it couldn't find any.
So I go back to load drivers, and it identifies the 3ware 9650e device as
having no driver...
I went to the download page for 3ware, and they have opensolaris drivers available for
this card ... But the OI installer is expecting a svr4, du, or p5i file, while the
opensolaris tarball just contains a single 59K file called "tw"
Might this combination actually work somehow? Am I doing something wrong? Looking in
the wrong places, for the wrong thing? Should I simply rename that file
"tw.p5i" or something like that?
Clues, advice, appreciated... ;-)
I am not sure it will *work*, but you can try copying the file in the
tarball to /kernel/drv (perhaps you can "file" this file to see if it
is 32- or 64-bit and appropriately place it to amd64 subdir if needed).
Then run something like "devfsadm -Cv", update_drv or add_drv to load
the driver and bind it to hardware. You'd likely need to add a correct
PCI ID (see "prtconf -v") to /etc/driver_aliases, maybe something to
/etc/name_to_major.
