And, to return to the original question, the on-board SAS controllers on the T3-1 use mpt_sas, and hotplug just works. (I still use cfgadm, but as a way to toggle the LEDs if the system hasn't done so itself - such as when replacing a drive that is starting to go bad but hasn't failed hard yet.) -- -Peter Tribble http://www.petertribble.co.uk/ - http://ptribble.blogspot.com/ _______________________________________________ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
