8.5 Updating the MegaRAID Driver on the Solaris OS on Storage Not Managed by a
MegaRAID Controller (Secondary Storage) after OS Installation
Perform the procedures in this section if the Solaris OS boots from a device that is not managed by a MegaRAID
controller, but in which the MegaRAID controller is present or will be present on the system and used for managing
the secondary storage. On the Solaris 11 OS, this method is required because the driver file formats changed.
When you use the virtual drive managed by the MegaRAID controller for secondary storage, you do not need to use a
driver diskette for driver installation.
Perform the following steps to update the in-box MegaRAID driver on storage not managed by a
MegaRAID controller:
1. Rename the in-box driver files and replace them by copying LSI mr_sas driver files to these locations.
a. For the Solaris 32-bit x86 OS, copy the LSI mr_sas driver files to these locations:
/kernel/drv/mr_sas.conf
/kernel/drv/mr_sas
b. For the Solaris 64-bit x86 OS, copy the LSI mr_sas driver files to these locations:
/kernel/drv/mr_sas.conf
/kernel/drv/amd64/mr_sas
2. Reboot your system.
After the reboot, the mr_sas driver does not get loaded.
3. Type the following command, and press Enter.
#rem_drv mr_sas
4. Copy the LSI mr_sas driver files to the following locations:
a. For the Solaris 32-bit x86 OS, copy the LSI mr_sas driver files to these locations:
/kernel/drv/mr_sas.conf
/kernel/drv/mr_sas
b. For the Solaris 64-bit x86 OS, copy the LSI mr_sas driver files to these locations:
/kernel/drv/mr_sas.conf
/kernel/drv/amd64/mr_sas
5. Perform one of the following three steps, depending on the MegaRAID controller you have:
a. Type the following command for LSI 2108-based RAID controllers, and press Enter.
#add_drv –m “* 0666 root root” –i ‘”pciex1000,79”’ –c scsi mr_sas
or
b. Type the following command for LSI 2208-based RAID controllers, and press Enter.
#add_drv –m “* 0666 root root” –i ‘”pciex1000,5b”’ –c scsi mr_sas
or
c. Type the following command for LSI 3108-based RAID controllers, and press Enter.
#add_drv –m “* 0666 root root” –i ‘”pciex1000,5d”’ –c scsi mr_sas
d. The following command is an example for a system with two MegaRAID controllers that have different
LSI ROC versions (LSI 2108 and LSI 3108, in this example).
#add_drv –m “* 0666 root root” –i ‘”pciex1000,79” ”pciex1000,5d”’ –c scsi
mr_sas
6. Type the following command to verify the driver version that is loaded, and press Enter.
#modinfo
