According to various posts the LSI SAS3081E-R seems to work well with OpenSolaris. But I''ve got pretty chilled-out from my recent problems with Areca-1680''s. Could anyone please confirm that the LSI SAS3081E-R works well ? Is hotplug supported ? Anything else I should know before buying one of these cards ? Thanks, Arna...

Hello, I am new to open solaris and am trying to setup a ZFS based storage solution. I am looking at setting up a system with the following specs: Intel BOXDG33FBC Intel Core 2 Duo 2.66Ghz 2 or 4 GB ram For the drives I am looking at using a LSI SAS3081E-R I''ve been reading around and it sounds like LSI solutions work well in terms of compatability with solaris. Could someone help me verify this? Or are there any alternate cards I should be looking at? I''m looking at having a max of 12 HDs so I''d use this card in con...

Hi, folks, Got an older Dell R410, with an LSI 1068E PCI-Express Fusion-MPT SAS (rev 08). It *appears* that a) trying MegaRaid, and b) from what I'm googling, that what I need are mptfusion-related packages. Unfortunately, yum shows me nothing available in base, epel, or rpmfusion. Am I looking for the wrong thing, or does anyone have a source (no, I haven't looked at LSI, sorry

...mware, do yourself a favor, find the "IT" Firmware on Avago's webpile, and reflash the card with it, and now its a straight SAS card, your disks are seen as native SAS drives, and you can use linux native mdraid on it (and/or LVM or whatever). I believe the 1068E was used on the SAS3081/3082 cards thats an older SAS1 card, and has 2TB disk limits, I believe, which can't readily be circumvented. Confusing, but to flash these, you need to get the SAS3081ER_Package_P21_IR_IT_Firmware_BIOS_for_MSDOS_Windows, unzip it, and locate the firmware and BIOS files for IT mode, then g...

...o X7DBE box using AOC-SAT2-MV8 Marvell controllers and opensolaris snv79 (same as described here: http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/document.do?assetkey=1-66-233341-1) we just start over using new hardware and opensolaris 2008.05 upgraded to snv94. We used again a supermicro X7DBE but now with two LSI SAS3081E SAS controllers. And guess what? Now we get these error-messages in /var/adm/messages: Aug 11 18:20:52 thumper2 scsi: [ID 107833 kern.warning] WARNING: /pci at 0,0/pci8086,2690 at 1c/pci1000,3140 at 0/sd at 5,0 (sd11): Aug 11 18:20:52 thumper2 Error for Command: read(10) Err...

...e: > Perfect. Which means good ol'' supermicro would come through :) WOHOO! > > AOC-USAS-L8i > > http://www.supermicro.com/products/accessories/addon/AOC-USAS-L8i.cfm Is this card new? I''m not finding it at the usual places like Newegg, etc. It looks like the LSI SAS3081E-R, but probably at 1/2 the cost. -B -- Brandon High bhigh at freaks.com "The good is the enemy of the best." - Nietzsche

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 i...

Which consumer-priced 1.5TB drives do people currently recommend? I had zero read/write/checksum errors so far in 2 years with my trusty old Western Digital WD7500AAKS drives, but now I want to upgrade to a new set of drives that are big, reliable and cheap. As of Jan 2010 it seems the price sweet spot is the 1.5TB drives. As I had a lot of success with Western Digital drives I thought I would
