Good evening/morning ladies and gentlemen, I think it's best to sketch my situation a bit: My company had some years back hired a consulting company to set up a new infrastructure "and stuff" :) Well both, the consultants as well as the deciding people here screwed up: Company was asking for the super duper features nobody needed, consultants couldn't even fulfill basic requirements. Well at the moment, we have two fileservers, which lack a lot of performance. As Solaris is said to perform a lot better, we decided to migrate both machines to OpenSolaris. One of the machines has a tape library attached with a software being officially support with Solaris, so the decision was easy.
But what I absolutely forgot to look for was the Sata-Raid-Controller built in both machines! They're 3ware 9550s and are not recognized by the install routine. So I googled and looked all over. The 3ware page says yes, supported. Some sources say it's supported by 2008.11. The HCL doesn't say anything useful :( So are those cards supported and if so, where's the driver? If not, what's (from an objective point of view) the best to do? Avoid Solaris and revert back to CentOS or whatever? (me no like) Buy a new Raid-Card? (boss no like) TIA Patrick Powered by Open-Xchange.com _______________________________________________ opensolaris-help mailing list [email protected]
