Gnoboot/LSI 2008

[Rand__]

Hey guys,

 

been out of the loop for a while and am now trying to get up an ESXi based XPE setup...

 

I've installed it using gnoboot 10.3 and DSM 4458; upgraded to gnoboot 10.5 afterwards but still have the issue taht the disks on my HBA do not get found.

 

So i am running an SAS GBA in passthrough mode (LSI 2008) - that one is reckognized as per dmesg

 2.592852] mpt2sas0: LSISAS2008: FWVersion(16.00.00.00), ChipRevision(0x03), BiosVersion(00.00.00.00)

[    2.603023] mpt2sas0: port enable: SUCCESS
[    2.608780]

but the drives attached to it are not listed in the gui...

 

Additionally i get some erros i cant relate to...

So whats my (hopefully stupid) mistake here? I am sure there are many ppl out there using that HBA successfully:)

 

Thanks

Ok, stupid indeed;) SAS connector was not seated properly Sorry.

 

Next interesting issue is that XPE is not able to restore a Raid spanning two channels - leaving me in quite a bad position with my old 5 disk raid 5
