So I sent everything back, and will hopefully get a new cable soon that allows me to connect to my SAS card directly (there are 8 ports in the card, but cabling only for six, so I got a new cable with more ports). Hopefully that will solve the problem. Thanks!Peter J.

I have a Dell SAS 6i/R in a PowerEdge T410 server, with six 2 TB drives connected to the SAS card. I am adding an SSD for an L2ARC, but the motherboard controller is retarded and only works with Windows. I can run the drive in ATA mode, but that totally defeats the purpose of having an SSD for this purpose.<br /><br />I've gotten one supported SATA card (Koutech IO-PESA230) and one unsupported (so far) card, the ASUS U3S6. Both allegedly use a supported Marvell chip.<br /><br />I am running the SSD and CD ROM from the card. EON loads, but when I log on and run "format", the SSD is not there (even though the OS came off a CD-ROM attached to the same card).<br /><br />I've posted to the OSOL discussion list:<br /><br />http://opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=132202&tstart=0<br /><br />The blog that recommends the card suggests a driver called "ahci", but I would have assumed this is included by default in eon?<br /><br />Is there something about the eon implementation that would help alleviate the problem?<br /><br />This has been frustrating me for a few weeks, so hopefully it's something simple and I can get my backup server running at full power!

So a ZFS swap is highly recommended for performance and increased stability.<br /><br />Without a ZFS swap the system may require as much as 2Gb of RAM for an update dependent on the version (32/64-bit) of EON being run.Andre Luehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06886037020375947489noreply@blogger.com
