Does it just randomly assign the ports to drives? I ordered these http://www.monoprice.com/Product?ab...=10254&cs_id=1025406&p_id=8186&seq=1&format=2
(2 of them but only have 1 hooked up atm)
First I had the SDD hooked to 1 and HDD's hooked to 2-4 and SDD shows as sdc. Then I switched and hooked SDD to 2 and HDDs to 1,3-4 and SDD shows as sdd. :|
Should I even worry?
edit: Ahh, rebooted after putting the SDD back to 1 and HDD's 2-4 and now SDD is sde.... wonder if it has something to do with having the card passing through esxi to the vm.

Download the utility and ran it and manually set the ports to = the physical ports instead of auto. Also, according to the card, I have the cable in the 8087 cable in the port 0 port, but in the utility it says the active ports are 4-7. Wonder if flashing to IT changed some things around. Going to put it in the 1 slot and see if it shows 0-3 now.

Before I switched the cable on the card from 0 to 1, scanning the drives is showing them in reverse order (like that link above mentioned in his post). cable 1 is listed as phy # 7, 2 is 6, etc.. weird.
Upon switching to labeled port 1, Phy ports show as 0-3, but still reversed. So I think flashing to IT changed the labeled ports around (port 0 is closest to bracket, port 1 closets to middle of card). not sure about the reverse though. Maybe I'll just throw it back on auto and live with it
Hopefully this ghetto blog can help someone
