 NAME
mr_sas - LSI MegaRAID SAS2.0 Controller HBA driver
 DESCRIPTION

The mr_sas MegaRAID SAS2.0 controller host bus adapter driver is a
SCSA-compliant nexus driver that supports the LSI MegaRAID SAS 92xx
series of controllers and the Sun StorageTek 6Gb/s SAS RAID HBA series of
controllers.

Some of the RAID Features include the following:


RAID levels 0, 1, 5, and 6


RAID spans 10, 50, and 60


Online Capacity Expansion (OCE)


Online RAID Level Migration (RLM)


Auto resume after loss of system power during arrays array rebuild or
reconstruction (RLM)


Configurable stripe size up to 1MB


Check Consistency for background data integrity


Patrol read for media scanning and repairing


64 logical drive support


Up to 64TB LUN support


Automatic rebuild


Global and dedicated Hot Spare support

 "Configuration"

The mr_sas.conf file contains one user configurable parameter, for MSI or
MSI-X support. Configure your hardware through the related BIOS utility or the
MegaCli Configuration Utility. If you want to install to a drive attached to a
mr_sas HBA, create the virtual drive first from the BIOS (X86) before
running Solaris install. The MegaCli utility can be downloaded from the
LSI website.

The LSI MegaRAID SAS device can support up to 64 virtual SAS2.0, SAS1.0,
SATA3.0, or SATA 6.0 disks. The BIOS numbers the virtual disks as 1 through 64,
however in Solaris these drives are numbered from 0 to 63. Also keep in mind
that SAS and SATA drives can not be configured into the same virtual disk.
