    Ärende: [OmniOS-discuss] Recommend any FC Gen 5 or Gen 6 HBAs?

    Hello everyone,

    I have a new project, so everything mentioned here is with clean OS installs. Not production.

    Can anyone recommend a Gen 5 or Gen 6 (preferred) 16GB Fibre Channel HBA known to work in r151022 or later?

    I have tried, without success, to get the following Fibre Channel Cards to work in a clean r151026 install on SuperMicro System  SYS-2029P-C1R

    Emulex Corporation Lancer Gen6: LPe32000 Fibre Channel Host Adapter
    QLogic Corp. ISP8324-based 16Gb Fibre Channel to PCI Express Adapter

    The system sees the hardware:

    BIOS Configuration: American Megatrends Inc. 2.1 06/29/2018

    Thanks for any comments,

    I was writing to you before about this, and I suggested you to check the driver:

    root at omni:~# prtconf -D | grep pci1077
                pci1077,138, instance #0 (driver name: qlc)
                pci1077,138, instance #1 (driver name: qlc)
    root at omni:~#

    If your pci addr still is pci1077? Which it was according to your previous mail in this issue.

    Did you check that? If so, what was the output?

    If it shows up empty, no driver is attached, and I'm sure no driver is available in omnios.

    I can't tell about the other Illumos distros, perhaps you check with Nexenta, they should at least know if there is an Illumos driver or not...

    Rgrds Johan
