8.3 Adding the MegaRAID Driver for Secondary Storage after the Solaris OS

by a MegaRAID controller, but in which the MegaRAID controller is present or will be present on the system, and used
for managing secondary storage.
1. Install the Solaris OS with the MegaRAID controller removed from the system.
2. Download the latest MegaRAID Solaris driver from the LSI Support website.
3. Install the MegaRAID controller while the system is shut down.
4. Boot the system.
5. Copy the driver package components.tgz to /tmp.
6. To extract the driver, type the following commands, and press Enter.
$ tar -zxvf components.tgz
$ uncompress mr_sas.Z

8.4 Installing the Solaris 11 OS on Storage Managed by a MegaRAID Controller
(Primary Storage)
This section describes how to load the Solaris 11 OS kernel driver module to enable boot device support, and then
how to update the current drivers in the kernel from source files.
Perform the following steps to install the Solaris 11 OS driver at boot time on storage managed by a
MegaRAID controller:
1. Install the Solaris 11 OS with the MegaRAID in-box driver.
2. Rename the in-box driver files, and replace them by copying the LSI mr_sas driver files to these locations for the
Solaris 64-bit x86 OS:
/kernel/drv/mr_sas.conf
/kernel/drv/amd64/mr_sas
3. Reboot your system.
