Subject: Heads up: New mr_sas driver for LSI MegaRAID SAS2.0 HBA Controller

We have putback the LSI MegaRAID SAS2.0 mr_sas X86 driver into the Solaris Nevada ON gate in build
114. Sparc support is planned for later.

     PSARC 2009/154 Integrate LSI MegaRAID SAS2.0 Controller HBA driver (mr_sas) into Solaris
     6770895 Solaris needs SAS 2.0 MegaRAID mr_sas driver

The mr_sas driver supports the LSI MegaRAID SAS 92xx series of controllers, with RAID levels 0, 1,
5, and 6, and RAID spans 10, 50, and 60. The driver supports supports up to 64 virtual SAS2.0,
SAS1.0, SATA3.0 or SATA6.0 disks. Note that SAS and SATA drives cannot be combined together in a
virtual drive.	 Also, if you want to install to a drive attached to a mr_sas HBA, you should create
the virtual drive first from the BIOS before running Solaris install.
