Xpenlology with Port Multiplier

Hello All-

 

After working back and forth with Trantor, we were unable to make a Sil3132 PCIe SATAII card work with port multiplier on Xpenology. The pci card works with port multiplier fine under both Ubuntu and Debian, so it was an Xpenlology problem. Has anybody gotten a different chipset PCI card to work with port multiplier for Xpenlology? I'll buy whatever card works, I just want to use port multiplier and Xpenlology.

 

Thanks

 

Kyle

why not just by a cheap LSI HBA on ebay? That's what I did after wasting my mother on other cheap controllers. Supposedly the LSI 92xx series are proven for VTd, if you want to use passthrough.

That listing is from the same guy I bought mine from. It's basically an LSI 9211-8i in IT mode (it can only do IT mode, has no flash). If you end up going that route, you can pick up cheap cables from monoprice... assuming you're in the US.
