[OmniOS-discuss] Issue with LSI 3108 MegaRAID ROMB card

2014-07-17 Thread Youzhong Yang
Hi All,

We have problem using the LSI 3108 card, just wondering if anyone here has
any success story using this card in production.

Here is the FM version info and error we got in /var/adm/messages:

BIOS Version   : 6.13.00_4.14.05.00_0x06010600
Ctrl-R Version : 5.01-0004
FW Version : 4.210.10-2910
NVDATA Version : 3.1310.00-0054
Boot Block Version : 3.00.00.00-0009

SNIP!

When mr_sas(7d) was updated for 2208, it included untested 3108 support.  3108 
was untested because people didn't have 3108 cards at the time it went back.

The messages you're seeing indicate the card's timing-out an IO operation, 
followed by a reset-the-card failure.

Beyond that, I can't help you much right now.  I have no such card available to 
me.  For the record, are you stuck using this, or did you choose a 3108?  I'd 
recommend choosing something else if it was your choice.  If it's not, please 
tell me what platform stuck you with a 3108, as it may be a harbinger of future 
complaints.

Thanks,
Dan

Thanks Dan.

We ordered these Supermicro X9DRW-CF/CTF boxes which have ROMB LSI 3108 on
the motherboard and got stuck. We will probably add 9211-8i HBA cards to
the machines and get them move forward.

Thanks,
Youzhong

Before I saw this, one of my OmniTI co-workers mentioned that model of mobo as 
one possibility.
