Thanks for all your help, changing the mode from RAID to JBOD did the
trick. I was hoping to have a RAID 1+0 for the OS, but I guess with Areca
is all or nothing.
Cheers,
Gregory

with pass-through disks on areca controllers you have to set the lun id (i
believe) using the volume command. when you issue a volume info your disk
id's should look like this (if you want solaris to see the disks):
0/1/0
0/2/0
0/3/0
0/4/0
etc.
the middle part there (again, i think that's supposed to be lun id) is what
you need to set manually for each disk. it's actually my #1 peeve with
using areca with solaris.
6784370 enhance arcmsr to support auto-enumeration
solves the "must add luns to sd.conf" problem.
If you're not running at least snv_107, then you will need
to add entries to your /kernel/drv/sd.conf file, regenerate
your boot archive, and then reboot.
The format of the entries is as follows:
name="sd" parent="arcmsr" target=2 lun=0;
name="sd" parent="arcmsr" target=3 lun=0;
name="sd" parent="arcmsr" target=4 lun=0;
name="sd" parent="arcmsr" target=5 lun=0;
etc etc. Oh, and do make sure you're using JBOD mode if
that's available.

Hi Everyone,
I want to start out by saying ZFS has been a life saver to me, and the
scientific collaboration I work for. I can't imagine working with the TB's
of data that we do, without the snapshots or the ease of moving the data
from one pool to another.
Right now I'm trying to setup a whiteboxe with OpenSolaris. It has an Areca
1160 RAID controller(lastest firmware), SuperMicro H8SSL-I mobo, and a
SuperMicro IPMI card. I haven't been working with Solaris for all that long,
and wanted to create a zpool similar to our x4500's. From the documentation
it says to use the format command to locate the disks.
OpenSolaris lives on a 2 disk Mirrored raid, and I was hoping I could have
the disks pass through, so that zfs could manage the zpool. What am I doing
wrong here, that I can't see all the disks? Or do I have to use a RAID 5
underneath the zpool?
Any and all help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Gregory
