8.2 Adding the MegaRAID Driver for Secondary Storage during the Solaris 10 OS
Installation
Perform the procedures in this section if the Solaris 10 U5 OS boots from a device that is not managed by a MegaRAID
controller, but in which the MegaRAID controller is or will be present on the system and used for managing

3. In the installation menu, select [2] Install Additional Drivers.
4. Press F9 (Quit), and return to the installation menu.
5. In the installation menu, select [3] Shell.
6. Copy the driver package components.tgz to /tmp.
7. To extract the driver, type the following commands, and press Enter.
$ tar -zxvf components.tgz
$ uncompress mr_sas.Z
$ tar -xvf mr_sas.tar
