I'm not sure. A different thing is wrong with it depending on what
driver attaches to it. I can't tell for sure because this page:
http://linuxmafia.com/faq/Hardware/sas.html
says the LSI SAS 3800 series uses a 1068E chip, and James says (1)
1068E is supported by mpt, (2) LSI SAS 3800 uses mega_sas. so, I
don't know which for that card, which means I don't know which for
this card.
If it's mpt:
* does not come with source according to:
http://www.openbsd.org/papers/opencon06-drivers/mgp00024.html
http://www.opensolaris.org/os/about/no_source/
If it's mega_sas:
* does not come with source
* driver is new and unproven. We believed the Marvell driver was
good for the first few months too, the same amount of experience we
have with mega_sas.
* not sure if it's available in stable solaris.
In either case:
* may require expensive cables
Uncertain problems:
* might not support hotplug
* might not support NCQ
* probably doesn't support port multipliers
* probably doesn't support smartctl
* none of these features can be fixed by the community without
source. all are available with cheaper cards on Linux, and on
Linux both mptsas and megaraid_sas come with source as far as I can
tell maintained by dell and lsi, though might not support the above
features.
HTH, HAND.
