[XPEnology gnoBoot]

Can someone suggest a reasonably priced (less than 110 euro) Raid card that will work with gnoboot and 4 Sata disks? a plus but not a requirement would be hotswap support so i dont have to open the VM down if i want to replace a failing disk.

 

I bought this:

LSI 9211-i8

 

Works fine with Gnoboot and DSM 5.0, flashed mine to IT-mode so I can use software-raid

[XPEnology DS3612xs DSM 4.3 build 3827 (ESXi v1.2)]

Thanks for working so hard on this! Have used your 4.2 build for some time and it have worked flawless from day 1.

 

Now i want to try it running on ESXi, purchased a LSI 9211-i8 flashed to IT and installed everything.

 

Now the problem is that the disks (7) will not mount in DSM. I can kind of get it to work, if I reconnect (hotswap) eventually all the disks will show up. And if they do all is "Disk1", eSATA has also happened. I hear the disks spin up at boot.

 

 

Where should i start to locate the issue? Can it be BIOS, the LSI Boot, ESXi or the DSM-build itself?
