    Solaris with Adaptec Series 7 (71605)?

    FYI, Adaptec has posted updated drivers: http://www.adaptec.com/en-us/downloads/unix/sun_solaris/productid=sas-71605&dn=adaptec+raid+71605.html b30261 is what I've been using. Working on cutting a few more heavily used Nexenta boxes over to 71605's, will post on how it goes..

    Solaris with Adaptec Series 7 (71605)?

    Yeah, I've been working with Adaptec support on it; we've gone through a few revisions; the newest are working quite well, even with the controller running in 'HBA Mode' (with direct passthrough of the disks.) I'm not sure if I can share them or not yet; might try pinging the Adaptec PMC who...

    Solaris with Adaptec Series 7 (71605)?

    @Adaptec thanks! Will continue working through this in the ticket with you and update here when I've got new results. @Dragon The 71605's are great under Linux at least; the E-series cards do basic RAID (RAID1, RAID10) but yeah my primary use case for those would be running in true HBA mode...

    Solaris with Adaptec Series 7 (71605)?

I don't really care if they are supported in Oracle's Solaris or not. ;) I'm with you on more cards - my ideal solution...

    Solaris with Adaptec Series 7 (71605)?

    Yeah, that's what I do on hardware I control; 9211-8i's all around.. but in this case my choices are to switch hosting providers or get Adaptec stuff working, and the provider is good enough that it's worth my time to get Adaptec working. ;) (I've been down the LSI route with the provider, but...

    Solaris with Adaptec Series 7 (71605)?

    Short version of everything below: has anyone been able to get any version of Solaris to work with an Adaptec 7-series card? Now for the long stuff... ;) Note: I know this sounds kind of dumb (why would you buy a nice expensive RAID controller and then pass the drives through individually...

    new supermicro storage chassis SC847

    Hey, this is Nate, the guy who did that blog post.. noticed the traffic form here and figured I'd come chime in. ;) Yeah, the reason I avoided the port multipliers was because we want to be able to pull full bandwidth from all drives.. since the majority are SATA, that bandwidth would probably...
