Trying to track down why our two Intel X-25E''s are spewing out Write/Retryable errors when being used as a ZIL (mirrored). The system is running a LSI1068E controller with LSISASx36 expander (box built by Silicon Mechanics). The drives are fairly new, and it seems odd that both of the pair would start showing errors at the same time.... I''m trying to figure out where I can find the firmware on the LSI controller... are the bootup messages...

During the diagnostics of my SAN failure last week we thought we had seen a backplane failure due to high error counts with ''lsiutil''. However, even with a new backplane and ruling out failed cards (MPXIO or singular) or bad cables I''m still seeing my error count with LSIUTIL increment. I''ve got no disks attached to the array right now so I''ve also

...rence is that the Marvel contoller is PCI-X and the LSI controllers are PCI-E. Supermicro have several LSI controllers. AOC-USASLP-L8i with the LSI 1068E and AOC-USASLP-H8iR with the LSI 1078. Are they stable? How does is the performance compare to the Marvel? Does hot swap cause problems? The LSI1068E has 16MB SRAM onboard cache - I expect this helps performances, but does it causes issues with ZIL? The LSI1078 has 512MB DDR2 onboard cache with a battery backup option. With OpenSolaris will this function as a NVRAM when using the battery backup option, allowing "zil disable"? Has...

My setup: A SuperMicro 24-drive chassis with Intel dual-processor motherboard, three LSI SAS3081E controllers, and 24 SATA 2TB hard drives, divided into three pools with each pool a single eight-disk RAID-Z2. (Boot is an SSD connected to motherboard SATA.) This morning I got a cheerful email from my monitoring script: "Zchecker has discovered a problem on bigdawg." The full output is

...lem happens on every single Silicon Mechanics system we have, so at this point I''m really doubting it''s a hardware issue :) Hardware details are as follows: Silicon Mechanics Storform iServ R518 (Based on SuperMicro SC847E16-R1400 chassis) SuperMicro X8DT3 motherboard w/ onboard LSI1068 controller. - One LSI port goes to the front backplane (where the bulk of the SATA drives are, the two SSD''s used as ZIL/OS) - The other LSI port goes to the rear backplane where the two L2ARC drives are along with a couple SATA''s) We''ve got 6GB'&...

Dear All, It may be this not the correct mailing list, but I''m having a ZFS issue when a disk is failing. The system is a supermicro motherboard X8DTH-6F in a 4U chassis (SC847E1-R1400LPB) and an external SAS2 JBOD (SC847E16-RJBOD1). It makes a system with a total of 4 backplanes (2x SAS + 2x SAS2) each of them connected to a 4 different HBA (2x LSI 3081E-R (1068 chip) + 2x LSI
