Apologies, the three drives at the bottom of the list are the 2tb ones.
There's no way I could afford a 2tb SSD on my local government salary!!!
When it comes to Marvells chips it some of them work on OSOL/OI and some
of them don't. Look into the OpenSolaris HCL, if it
signed/certified/native than it's fine but if it merely says "reported
to work" I would be careful about it. I would not recommend anyone using

Anyone any opinions on it please?

Hi Willard,
Thank you for those links. I've had a look through and it is interesting that
the cheaper cards are Marvell, though based on .
The card I've got problems with is based on the Marvell 9128 chipset.
Do you think I could run in to trouble?

Did support for that card get added to the OI kernel? It's a good card, but
last I saw it was only supported by the proprietary 3ware driver, and

If you have a 4x PCI-Express slot available, I highly recommend the 3ware 9650.

I should have also mentioned just using an adapter to provide esata interfaces
from internal sata ports.
Either way you are not limited to cards that already have esata ports built in.

Depending on the server you may be better to look for low priced SAS cards with
sata adapters and an adapter for internal sata to e-sata.
It seems to me that there are more supported pcie sas cards than sata. No data
to back that up, just what I seem to notice.

Hi Folks,
I've been driving myself crazy looking at SATA cards for the last few days.
What I need is the following...
1) Compatable with OI (I'm really tripping myself up here
2) Lowest price possible
3) PCI-E
4) Ports needed - 2 E-SATA Version 3.
Any recommendations please?
Many thanks,
Mic
Got it.
The variable "autoexpand" wasn't set to "on".
Apparently it was the default at some point, but must have changed.
Doh!

Hi Michelle,
please have a look at the bug id and the thread.

On the other hand it may be possible that there is a proprietary driver
for SOL 10x86 out there.
Additionally go into your the BIOS options and set the SATA controller

For root pool don't specify the whole disk use the slice instead,
So
zpool add rpool c8t2d0s0

Hi Folks,
In my effort to save money, I bought a PCIe card that gave me two reasonably
fast e-sata ports.
I've got a feeling that OI can't see the card and therefore won't use it. Am I
right? Is there anything I can do about this?
The chipset is Marvell 9128

I had this problem before and it drove me crazy. For some reason
switching the label to SMI in format doesn't completely get rid of the
GPT labels. I'm guessing maybe it removes the primary at the start of
the desk, but not the end?
I ended up having to use:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rdsk/c8t2d0s
Try to fix the Label again...
then try
zpool add -n the Box should give you a response.
also have a look at the man page
man zpool
you could also try to force it with
zpool add -f
But please keep in mind not every device could be forced. ;)
