[OpenIndiana-discuss] Unable to load RAID driver

[Jason Matthews]

after reviewing the original request i am a bit confused. 

your output says you have a megaraid card. the 9211-11 isnt megaraid. 

i know some of those ibm cards can be cross flashed but are you sure you have an appropriate model?

I have tried booting using OpenIndiana 151a and 151a7 LiveCD/USB to try and detect the card. The system is able to detect the raid card but when I tried to add the drivers "mpt_sas" to the system, I got the following errors:
