I have a server (currently running linux) that I'm hoping to convert to OI. The first point in question is whether or not OI will support the 3ware controller card.
I looked at the OI HCL on the wiki, and it's basically an empty list, so I hope the actual compatibility is more than just what's on that page...
I booted the OI CD, and it scans for storage, and says it couldn't find any. So I go back to load drivers, and it identifies the 3ware 9650e device as having no driver...
I went to the download page for 3ware, and they have opensolaris drivers available for this card ... But the OI installer is expecting a svr4, du, or p5i file, while the opensolaris tarball just contains a single 59K file called "tw"
Might this combination actually work somehow? Am I doing something wrong? Looking in the wrong places, for the wrong thing? Should I simply rename that file "tw.p5i" or something like that?
Clues, advice, appreciated... ;-)
