Hello !

Many thanks for your help. I try to find out is openindiana knowns something 
about IBM TS3100 device. 

I installed to my server lsiutil executable  sas2ircu and looked that can i 
found. I executed command:

./sas2ircu 0 DISPLAY

That was fine I discovered logical ID and use  prtconf -v to find out is solaris 
discovered this logical id.

I found it into two places First :

pci1014,3ca, instance #0
  System software properties:
  name='ddi-vhci-class' type=string items=1
  value='scsi_vhci'
  name='mpxio-disable' type=string items=1
  value='yes'
  Driver properties:
.
.
.
    name='base-wwid' type=int64 items=1 dev=none
  value=500605b0046db120
  name='firmware-version' type=string items=1 dev=none
  value='10.0.5.0'
.
.
.

iport, instance #1
                    System software properties:
                        name='ddi-vhci-class' type=string items=1
                            value='scsi_vhci'
                        name='mpxio-disable' type=string items=1
                            value='yes'
                    Driver properties:
.
.
.
name='initiator-port' type=string items=1 dev=none
                            value='w500605b0046db120'
.
.
.

I 'm not very familar with solaris/openidiana - but i think that that mpt_sas 
driver communicates with IBM TS3100.
