[OpenIndiana-discuss] using LSI 2308-IT onboard supermicro X9DRD-7LN4F-JBOD, openindiana not loading drivers? (OpenIndiana-discuss Digest, Vol 29, Issue 43)

[Ong Yu-Phing]

great, that worked, albeit slightly differently, so FYI to contribute to 
the list and knowledge:

Once I had the hint about /etc/driver_alises, I man'd to find out more, 
then checked using prtconf, noticed the card was referenced as 
pci15d9,69l (rather than pciex1000,86), so used update_drv -a -i 
"pci15d9,69l" mpt_sas, and the controller+disks were found.

Thanks!
