Hi all, I recently had to install the Adaptec AAC driver in a Opensolaris system, and given the fact that i had to do a couple of steps, i might as well share them , and hopefully someone will benefit it.
So here goes :
1 - The adaptec AAC driver is needed when we have drives configured as
JBOD in adaptec raid HBA
2 - Get the proper driver from adaptec website
3 - create a clone of the existing environment with the command :
* beadm create opensolaris_aacdriver
4 - mount the new envirnoment under some directory like (mnt/aacdriver)
* beadm mount opensolaris_aacdriver /mnt/aacdriver
5 - remove the opensolaris acc driver from the new environment
* pkg -R /mnt/aacdriver uninstall aac storage-server (storage-server
in my case was a dependency pac
* kage)
6 - extract the previous downloaded adaptec driver, say to
/tmp/adaptec_aac, and install it
* pkgadd -R /mnt/aacdriver -d aac.pkg
7 - unmount the new boot environment
* beadm unmount -f opensolaris_aacdriver
8 - active the new boot environment
* beadm activate opensolaris_aacdriver
9 - reboot ;)
* reboot -p
I tested this with a Adapatec 52445 - (Kernel Build 17544)

Bruno
