My advice would be to NOT use the AD2SA6GPX1 HBA for building an opensolaris storage box. Although the AHCI driver will load, the drives are not visible to the OS, and device configuration fails according to 'cfgadm -al'. I have a couple of them that are now residing in a linux box as I was unable to get them to work with OSOL b134 or Nexenta 3.0rc1. I did post in the forums over there, but received no response. I also submitted a bug, but have not had any response at all. I haven't gone upstream yet as I have been distracted by other things. I have not tried them with Solaris 10.
