Hello guys, I want to built a new NAS and I am searching for a controller. At supermicro I found this new one with the LSI 2008 controller. http://www.supermicro.com/products/accessories/addon/AOC-USAS2-L8i.cfm?TYP=I Who can confirm that this card runs under OSOL build134 or solaris10? Why this card? Because its supports 6.0 Gb/s SATA. -- Regards Alexander

This card should attach using the mpt_sas(7d) driver. This is *different* to the mpt(7d) driver. PSARC 2008/443 Driver for LSI MPT2.0 compliant SAS controller went into build 118. James C.

We''ve had LSI 2004 and 2008 controllers hang for quite some time when used with SuperMicro chassis and Intel X25-E SSDs (OSOL b134 and b147). It seems to be a firmware issue that isn''t fixed with the last update. While running any heavy workload you''ll see as much as $zfs_vdev_max_pending operations stuck on each SSD randomly. Others have reported success with them though, YMMV. LSI says the boards are not supported under Solaris and refuses to investigate it. -- Giovanni Tirloni gtirloni at sysdroid.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Prior reports here seem to be implicating the card only when it was connected to the backplane. -- Maurice Volaski, maurice.volaski at einstein.yu.edu Computing Support, Rose F.

Hello all, now I have ordered this controller card from LSI http://lsi.com/storage_home/products_home/host_bus_adapters/sas_hbas/internal/sas9211-8i/index.html It has the same controller onboard as the Supermicro had. The card is to plug in the PCI Express 2.0 x8 and the bracket is for normal cases. But its _not_ MegaRaid. MegaRaid is not necessary when using ZFS and here I wont use a hardware raid system. ;-) -- Mit freundlichem Gruss Regards Alexander

The MegaRAID 8888ELP, when connected to the same backplane, doesn''t exhibit that behavior. -- Giovanni Tirloni gtirloni at sysdroid.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
