    Ram,
    You may not need to rebuild the ISO just yet, although maybe you have since
    your last message... Sometimes a driver may work fine for a given device if
    it's similar enough to others that are already supported, and all that's
    required is to get the driver to bind to the new device.  The
    update_drv(1M) command is what we use to modify driver configuration.
     There are lots of examples on the web, but it would probably go something
    like:

    update_drv -a -i 'pciNNNN,NNNN' mr_sas
    update_drv -f mr_sas

    Where NNNN,NNNN is the pci vendor ID and device ID.  You can get those by
    picking through the output of 'prtconf -pv' and looking for a string like
    'Serial Attached'.  I took a quick look at our pci.ids file for the 710
    specifically:

    # gzgrep H710 /usr/share/pci.ids.gz
                    1028 1f30  PERC H710 Embedded
                    1028 1f31  PERC H710P Adapter
                    1028 1f33  PERC H710P Mini (for blades)
                    1028 1f34  PERC H710P Mini (for monolithics)
                    1028 1f35  PERC H710 Adapter
                    1028 1f37  PERC H710 Mini (for blades)
                    1028 1f38  PERC H710 Mini (for monolithics)

    That might give you a leg up.  I've also made a note to add the lspci
    utility to the ISO and Kayak miniroots, since that's useful in cases like
    yours.

    Eric
