[OpenIndiana-discuss] using LSI 2308-IT onboard supermicro X9DRD-7LN4F-JBOD, openindiana not loading drivers? (OpenIndiana-discuss Digest, Vol 29, Issue 43)

[Heinrich van Riel]

Hi,

I am using the same board with 20 disks. I seem to have some stability
issues, all are SAS disks except for the
2x rpool disks (SATA) that I have connected on the the backplane in the
back of the chassis since according to the supermicro documentation
SATA/SAS should not be mixed in the same backlpane. The board is in
the 6047R-E1R36L storage server from Supermicro.
The system would lockup after a few hours and also as soon as it tries to
load the kernel modules for Virtualbox during install.
Not that I need vbox on it, was just testing.
Any input on from others around stability would be great. I did order 2x
SAS for the OS since the SATA disks are very old and it seems that the
controller is not happy with it. I am sure it is that at this point.

Thanks,
