Hi all, based on comments on this list, I bought a new server with 8 SATA bays and an AOC-SAT2-MV8 SATA controller. I them fired up a jumpstart of Solaris 10 5/08 of the server. Install runs through perfectly, with a SVM mirror of / and swap on the first two disks. But during the first boot, I get the Solaris 10 kernel banner then the server resets.
If I take out the Marvell card, connect the boot disks to the NVidia MCP55 motherboard SATA controller, the server intalls fine and completes its first reboot. I realise my issue has nothing to do with ZFS, but I'm posting here since I heard of the controller here and I'm pretty sure some on this list are using it. My boss is starting to think that going for a RAID card would have been better, as the server would already be up and running and in production, so I'm willing to listen to any advice. Thanks, Christophe Dupre _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
