I, and a few others, have scripted the hell out of sas2ircu and a few other things on various platforms. I haven't had time to clean up mine and post it publicly yet (it's all in VCS, I use it a lot, on Windows + Linux + Solaris...), but https://github.com/swacquie/DiskMap is an example on Solaris

I've got open discussions with both Supermicro and LSI at the moment, and have shipped one of them a backplane and HBA to demonstrate this since they couldn't replicate it easily in-house. I also wouldn't claim SGPIO is "disabled" on any of these cards - any of the RAID cards don't expose the virt
