We have three of these HBA's, used as follows:
X4150, J4400, Solaris-10U7-x86, mpt patch 141737-01
V245, J4200, Solaris-10U7, mpt patch 141736-05
X4170, J4400, Solaris-10U8-x86, mpt/kernel patch 141445-09
None of these systems are suffering the issues you describe. All of
their SAS HBA's are running the latest Sun-supported firmware I could
find for these HBA's, which is v1.26.03.00 (BIOS 6.24.00), in LSI firmware
update 14.2.2 at:
http://www.lsi.com/support/sun/
In that package is also a v1.27.03.00 firmware for use when connecting
to the F5100 flash accelerator, but it's clearly labelled as only for
use with that device.
Anyway, I of course don't know if you've already tried the v1.26.03.00
firmware in your situation, but I wanted to at least report that we
are using this combination on Solaris-10 without experiencing the
timeout issues you are having.

Marion
