Hi, I''m running snv_86 on a Tyan S2882-D. This board has an onboard Sil3114 SATA controller which I have been using for my ZFS pool. Now I am trying to use Xen, and I am told that it doesn''t work with IDE mode disk drivers; but the 3114 doesn''t seem to have a native SATA mode (the BIOS just offers "Ultra" and "RAID" modes). Besides, the 3114 is said to be slow and maybe a little flaky. So okay, I can plug in a controller card. (I have an Adaptec 1420SA handy -- would that work?) But then comes the next question: how do I move the pool to the new controller? Hand-editing /etc/zfs/zpool.cache seems, uh, daunting :) -- Scott This message posted from opensolaris.org

Never mind, I see the 1420SA doesn''t work. (Search Google for "1420sa solaris".) The Supermicro AOC-SAT2-MV8 seems to be the recommended choice. -- Scott This message posted from opensolaris.org
