Re: [OmniOS-discuss] OmniOS KVM on AMD Processor
I believe the last serious effort was at https://github.com/jclulow/illumos-kvm, but as mentioned that's a few years on now (but still probably the best starting point). Personally, I don't really see AMD support coming to illumos KVM anytime soon given the lack of people willing to contribute either effort or funding to it; I can say we have no plans to work on it in the near future (we run on Intel) Robert Treat On Sat, Aug 23, 2014 at 10:45 AM, Suleyman Nazif Kutlu wrote: > Thanks Josef, I could not find/hear any positive / negative feedback on > Internet about KVM AMD support on Illumos based OSes (OmniOS, SmartOS, etc) > neither. > So this is what I was afraid of.

At the very least, you would also have flexible networking, benefits of ZFS and SMF integration (see http://vboxsvc.sf.net for my shameless plug), as well as ability to group VMs into local zones to run and resource-control whole independent labs, demo clusters in different datacenters, etc. Reports vary as to whether KVM is better (might be, being a kernel service), but certaintly VBox has its good place in the ecosystem.

Re: [OmniOS-discuss] LSI SAS3041e-HP
That generation of LSI adapters (based on SAS1064/1068 controller
chip) is supported by the legacy, closed-source "mpt" driver. Is the
mpt driver attaching to the device at all? `modinfo | grep mpt`
If not, you might try adding its PCI ID as another alias for mpt.
You'd do that with update_drv(1M). Check `prtconf -d` to find the ID.
If it is attaching, but the drives are not, it could well be a
firmware issue. The "-HP" in the part name makes me suspicious that
it could have a custom HP firmware, so re-flashing it with stock LSI
firmware would be a good first step.
Note that our mpt driver, being closed-source, will never see any
further development. If you can get your hands on a SAS2 adapter,
those are supported by the open-source (and still-developed)
mpt_sas(7D). Good choices include those based on the SAS200{4,8} and
SAS230{4,8}, as they can have the IT firmware. Avoid SAS210x because
they are IR-only. The IBM M1015 is a popular version, based on the
SAS2008 chip.

Re: [OmniOS-discuss] OmniOS KVM on AMD Processor
Thanks Josef, I could not find/hear any positive / negative feedback on Internet about KVM AMD support on Illumos based OSes (OmniOS, SmartOS, etc) neither. So this is what I was afraid of. Now I will switch back to backup plan ZOL on Ubuntu / Debian :( On Sat, Aug 23, 2014 at 4:35 PM, Josef 'Jeff' Sipek wrote: > On Sat, Aug 23, 2014 at 04:02:26PM +0200, Suleyman Nazif Kutlu wrote: > > Hi all, > > > > I am brand new to OmniOS.

Unless OmniTI managed to get that working (I haven't heard about anything like that), the answer is still "no, only Intel is supported".

[OmniOS-discuss] OmniOS KVM on AMD Processor
Hi all, I am brand new to OmniOS. Reading some documentation on Internet I found out that on Illumos based OSes KVM is only supported on Intel processors. Is this true for OmniOS as well? I am planning to use OmniOS on an AMD processor server with ZFS+KVM+Zones as a virtualization host for some personal Web Servers, databases, Home Fileserver, Multimedia Streaming, etc.. I started with Ubuntu+KVM several years ago, then migrated to ESXi 5.x... Now I want to use ZFS as well. This is main reason for me to start thinking about Illumos based OSes. Although ZOL is available on Ubuntu, I believe, as many others on Internet, ZFS on Illumos based OSes are more mature then ZOL. If this works on AMD processor, I will start migrations as soon as possible...

Linux does . So the card are working, its bios shows-up during boot . Must be Bios/firmware related . But I do not find anything in the "unraid" sites about this card . Someone knows where I can find bios/firmware for IT mode that can work on this card ? Thanks in advance ...
