[OpenIndiana-discuss] Question regarding OI148, SI3124 and port multiplier Sil3726

[Stefano Del Corno]

Hi, I'm sorry if the question have been already discussed in the past:
I'm having an issue with a PCI-e 3132 SATA card and a 3726 port
multiplier. Digging both the internet and OI discussions, I had the
feeling that this specific combination is working fine in a few
different environments.

I've loaded latest "ide" firmware (B7703) on my 3132 card. I tested
the pci-e card, the port multiplier and 4 attached sata drives under
linux: everything was working fine. I did also a couple of "raw"
performance tests with good results. Given the good experience under
"another OS" and given that I saw positive reports of SIL port
multipliers with SIL based SATA boards, I dropped both the card and
the port multiplier in my OpenIndiana box.

I'm running OI 148 on a SuperMicro X7SPA-H board. It's booting from a
couple of USB drives (forming a mirrored rpool). Right now I'm using 4
out of 6 internal sata connectors to drive a small SSD and 3 1.5tb
drives. My plan is to add the above mentioned 3124 + 3726 + 4drives to
my OpenIndiana box to test different protection schemes and run some
"zpool send" tests.

The issue I'm experiencing is that I can only see the first drive
(port 0) I've attached to the port multiplier.

Can someone help me at understanding what am I doing wrong and why
can't I see all 4 drives connected to 3132 + 3726 PM?

Here is the output I obtain from a few commands, hoping they may
explain my issue better then my poor english.
