Re: [zfs-discuss] Does OpenSolaris mpt driver support LSI 2008 controller

he requirements list that we had for the drivers is extensive, [note that MPxIO is on by default with mpt_sas] (c) we went through an insane amount of testing (and with some very rigorous tools) at every stage of the cycle before integration, and (d) we're confident that you'll

Re: [zfs-discuss] Does OpenSolaris mpt driver support LSI 2008 controller ?

-USAS2-L8i 2. LSI SAS 9211-8i No, the 2nd generation non-RAID LSI SAS controllers make use of the mpt_sas(7d). Second generation RAID LSI SAS controllers use mr_sas(7d). Code for both of these drivers is Open and you can find it on src.opensolaris.org. James C. McPherson -- Senior Kernel Software
