Subject: Heads up: full RAID support for LSISAS1064

The putback of:

PSARC 2005/097 Solaris support for LSISAS1064 on Ontario
6228874 Raidctl should enable RAID0

introduces multi-volume and RAID0 support for use with the LSISAS1064
SAS HBA.  RAID functionality for the LSI1030 remains the same.

This support has been put into the 'mpt' kernel module and the
raidctl(1M) utility.  This functionality is required by the Ontario,
Chicago and Andromeda projects, as well as a number of other platform
projects.  An LSI IR firmware version of 1.06 or higher is required, as
well as an A3 chip rev, so it will more than likely just be of interest
to those platform groups at first.

The raidctl usage has been updated, and draft changes to the man page
are complete.

If anyone has issues or requires assistance with setup or configuration,
please contact me.
