I was running this under ZFS on linux with no issues<br>(virtualized under ESXi 5.1). I installed OmniOS with the latest updates,<br>shutdown the Ubuntu ZoL guest, removed the HBA from its config, added the<br>PCI card to the OmniOS guest and powered it up. Only 4 of the 6 disks<br>come up, and as luck (or maybe not luck?) would have it, both were in the<br>same vdev, so 'no pool for you!' I was freaking out about losing data -<br>tried swapping drives, booting the guest with drives added 1 by 1 to no<br>avail. The errors I see in the log say something about 'device X failed<br>to power on'. These messages are from the mptsas driver. Out of<br>desperation, I shutdown the OmniOS guest, moved the HBA back to the Ubuntu<br>appliance and booted it. All 6 drives spin up just fine, and I have a<br>perfectly healthy pool. I can only assume it's a bug in the Illumos<br>mptsas driver (and/or some evil interaction between that driver and PCI<br>Passthrough?) I would love to switch to OmniOS, since it's more stable<br>than ZoL (at least right now), and easier to configure. But not having a<br>usable pool is an obvious showstopper :( And please don't suggest<br>skipping passthrough and passing all 6 drives in via RDM...<br><br>_______________________________________________<br>OmniOS-discuss mailing list<br><a href="mailto:OmniOS-discuss@lists.omniti.com">OmniOS-discuss@lists.omniti.com</a><br>http://lists.omniti.com/mailman/listinfo/omnios-discuss<br></blockquote></div><br><div apple-content-edited="true">
