Hi Ram,
I believe the H710 is a Dell-branded LSI 2208-based card.  Support for
the 2208 is a recent integration in illumos
(https://www.illumos.org/issues/3178), so can you try the unstable
("bloody") ISO instead?  I believe the fix for issue 3178 didn't
integrate until after our most recent stable release.
