[OpenIndiana-discuss] oi151a7 fails to see disks with dell perc h310

[Rich]

My R810 and R815 with their Broadcom NICs work great with the bnx driver
from SmartOS. [1]

I have no idea where they got it, or how redistributable it is. But. The
NICs work great, and the BMC works great with that driver (unlike without
it).
