American Megatrends MegaRAID 428 SCSI RAID Controller

This is a third-party driver developed by American Megatrends, Inc. For support and information about possible updates to this driver, contact American Megatrends at http://www.ami.com.

Configuration Procedure

• Contact American Megatrends to get the optional megamgr configuration utility.

• The MegaRAID controller cannot be configured by editing the /kernel/drv/mega.conf file.

• Follow this procedure to configure and use more than one logical drive. If the /kernel/drv/sd.conf file is not carefully edited, the system might panic upon reboot.

1. Press Control-M while the system is starting up to configure the controller and all logical drives.

2. Install the Solaris software and reboot.

   You will only see a single logical drive available during installation.

3. In the /kernel/drv/sd.conf file, add additional drives by duplicating the existing entry for target=0 and incrementing the lun field by one for each additional logical drive you want the Solaris software to recognize.

   For example, if you have a total of three logical drives configured on your adapter, you would add the following lines:

   name="sd" class="scsi" 
        target=0 lun=1;
   name="sd" class="scsi" 
        target=0 lun=2; 

4. Reboot.

   After the system reboots, you can use additional drives.
