Not sure about that but I do know that illumos-based systems have issues
with the RAID controller in the Microserver G7 and G8 versions.  Do you
have the license file for full RAID funcionality?

I would suggest to switch the SATA controller to AHCI mode and use ZFS
for RAID.  Note that one of the many design peculiarities of the G8 is
that disk slots #0 and #1 are 6GBit SATA, but #2 and #3 are only 3GBit.

We only run SmartOS on G8 here, and it works fine in AHCI mode.

Are you able to switch the controller from RAID mode to AHCI mode?

Cheers.

I own an HP Microserver Gen8 and want to run OI onto it. The 
Installation went smooth, but I can't get the Raid Controller running.

I had read, that omnios (?) has driver (packages) for this controller.

Because Freenas, TrueNAS and Proxmox could access the the drives (and 
access the zpools onto it), I wonder, why OI can't handle it.

Any suggestions? Did I missed a package to install?

Best regards

Klaus
