    Upgraded to ESXi 5.0, missing vmnics (Intel 82580)

    So for me, I am referring to slot PCIe(4) in the crude ASCI diagram below: ----------------------- +..........RAM...| +..........CPU...| +....................| |...PCIe(1).......| |...PCIe(2).......| |...PCIe(3).......| |...PCIe(4).......| ----------------------- In Supermicro's...

    Upgraded to ESXi 5.0, missing vmnics (Intel 82580)

    Upgraded to ESXi 5.0, missing vmnics (Intel 82580)

    Thanks man, I was just about to give up and rollback to ESXi 4.1 when I saw your post and decided to try the NIC in each possible slot. Had lots of doubt when I got to the fourth and last slot without success, but ESXi finally "saw" the card and listed all of the vmnics on it. Kinda embarrassed...

    Upgraded to ESXi 5.0, missing vmnics (Intel 82580)

    Ah, I should have explained it better. My last two posts are missing some information. So I did try installing the latest async drivers for this card using the "esxcli software vib install" (or something close to it) command. I'm pretty sure the problem is related to ESXi 5.0 on my...

    Upgraded to ESXi 5.0, missing vmnics (Intel 82580)

    Bump... since I'm only using ESXi vSphere Hypervisor, I don't have access to VMware support. Tried their forums, but haven't gotten anywhere over there either.

    Upgraded to ESXi 5.0, missing vmnics (Intel 82580)

    Thanks for trying. Unfortunately, I'm still working on this. :( Here's what I've tried so far: Re-installed ESXi 5.0 (first attempt was an upgrade install over ESXi 4.1) Changed "PCI ROM Priority" BIOS setting to "EFI Compatible ROM", from "Legacy ROM". (Not sure what this does, but tried...

    Upgraded to ESXi 5.0, missing vmnics (Intel 82580)

    Hey guys, I have an Intel Ethernet Server Adapter I340-T4 that was previously recognized in ESXi 4.1. I just recently upgraded to ESXi 5.0 and saw that the same NICs (it's a quad port card) were missing. I tried installing the driver update "igb version 3.2.10" but still no dice. The vmnics are...

    How do I properly GNOP my advanced format drives for ZFS?

    How do I properly GNOP my advanced format drives for ZFS?

    Ok, just saw the same thing with a regular non shifted zpool. I checked the mount points ("cat fstab" and "zfs get mountpoint tank") and didn't see anything obviously wrong. Just did a "zfs mount -a" and dd now passes, though at a much lower rate than I previously recorded (~370MB/sec vs...

    How do I properly GNOP my advanced format drives for ZFS?

    Ok, answered my first question: # you'll see the number of bytes per sector on each "da" device dmesg | grep da # another way, substitute appropriate disk number diskinfo -v da1 Will play around with gnop and zpools and see if I can get it working without problems. Edit: Ok, normally I...

    How do I properly GNOP my advanced format drives for ZFS?

    Hey guys, FreeBSD 8.2 and ZFS v15 newbie here with 6x 2TB Seagate 5900RPM drives for the zpool. This system is for home use and not yet in production. How can I tell whether a drive uses 512 byte or 4096 byte sectors from within the operating system? Or is this from datasheet information...

    Mirroring SSDs bad idea?

    Hey guys, I ordered 2 Intel 320 160GB SSDs for a RAID1 mirror in a ESXi all-in-one. It'll be a ZFS build home server for multimedia and lab purposes. The drives haven't arrived yet but while I wait, I'm wondering if I should have bought just one. I could either pocket the difference or buy...

    Intel Xeon E3-1220 for storage servers

    Anyone see a reason why I should favor one board over the other? It seems like a tie, assuming quality, prices, and availability are the same. Unless they're not. :O
