It will work in a standard 8x or 16x slot. The bracket is backward. Not one for subtlety, I took the bracket off, grabbed some pliers, and reversed all the bends. Not exactly ideal... but I was then able to get it in the case and get some screw tension on it to hold it snugly to the case. I had some problems with getting the card to initialize at first. One MB would simply not allow me to run the card in the x16 slot, even with onboard video, even with a generic pci video card. Another motherboard I had, an asus-- don''t recall the model, would allow it to work. I am using an old Geforce2 PCI card for video. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org

I haven''t done extensive testing, but booting off a livecd, it sees the disks just fine, and loads a driver for them. -- --Tim -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Hi I just picked up one of these cards and had a few questions After installing it I can see it via scanpci but any devices I''ve connected to it don''t show up in iostat -En , is there anything specific I need to do to enable it? Do any of you experience the bug mentioned below (worried about using it and losing my data) http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6894775 http://opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=117702&tstart=1 -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
not sure of your experience level, but did you try running devfsadm and then checking in format for your new disks James Dickens uadmin.blogspot.com On Sun, Dec 27, 2009 at 3:59 AM, Muhammed Syyid <opensolaris at syyid.net>wrote:> Hi > I just picked up one of these cards and had a few questions > After installing it I can see it via scanpci but any devices I''ve connected > to it don''t show up in iostat -En , is there anything specific I need to do > to enable it? > > Do any of you experience the bug mentioned below (worried about using it > and losing my data) > http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6894775 > http://opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=117702&tstart=1 > -- > This message posted from opensolaris.org > _______________________________________________ > zfs-discuss mailing list > zfs-discuss at opensolaris.org > http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss >-------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Thanks a bunch - that did the trick :) -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
I have used these cards several UIO capable Supermicro systems and Opensolaris, with the Supermicro storage chassis and up to 30 stata 1Tb disks. With IT mode firmware (non-raid) they are excellent. They usually have the "hardware assisted" raid firmware by default. The card is designed for the UIO slot. The cards are a mirror image of a normal pci-e card and may overlap adjacent slots. They "may" work in other servers, but I have found some Supermicro non-UIO servers that wouldn''t run them. Mark. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
