Blake:

 

Thanks for the reply.  I am told by my Cisco app engineer that the adapter 
above is what is being used.  This is a 12 Gbit version of the LSI MegaRAID 
adapter.  I have a prior version of this adapter running with no problems in a 
Cisco C240 Model 3 server.

 

If it is a firmware issue, how would you proceed to address resolving this 
compatibility with Illumos?  I’m committed to getting this working, but need 
some guidance on how this is typically done within the Illumos community.

 

Regards, Marc

There are better experts than me on this list, but this smells like an issue 
with controller firmware to me (i.e. not responding to SCSI commands in the 
expected fashion, etc.)

 

Is the controller listed as supported on the illumos HCL?

1.      I started the installation of SmartOS on the NEW C240 M4 that has the 
NEW Cisco 12G SAS storage adapter.  

2.      The SmartOS installation proceeded as I had expected from my previous 
SmartOS installations.  

3.      AFTER I had configured the Cisco C240 M4 12G storage adapter for JBOD 
mode, SmartOS detected ALL 13 JBOD drives (1 SSD for ZLOG + 12 spinning 
drivers) in the system. 

4.      I indicated to the SmartOS install program all 13 of the drives that I 
wanted to create zpools in.  

5.      The data pools were created.

6.      After the disks were formatted and pools created, I could see all of 
the disk’s LEDs really active, so I was pretty encouraged that the storage 
adapter was working.

7.      The SmartOS installer proceeded to completion and then rebooted the 
server.

8.      THIS is when I got the messages that are the WARNING messages about the 
“Command failed to complete…Device is gone”.  

9.      There were 13 of these messages corresponding to each of the 13 disk 
drives in the server.

10.  The boot process appeared to have stalled, waiting for a LONG time before 
actually returning to the login prompt.  

11.  After I received the login prompt, I was able to log into SmartOS with no 
problem.

 

I’ve been searching the Internet for some clues here, but I need some help from 
the community on this.

 

Kind regards, Marc
