It says: You can pass-thru individual disks, if you have SCSI, but you can't pass-thru individual SATA disks. I don't have any way to verify this, but it seems unlikely... since SAS and SATA are interchangeable. (Sort of.) I know I have a dell server, with a few SAS disks plugged in, and a few SATA disks plugged in. Maybe the backplane is doing some kind of magic? But they're all presented to the OS by the HBA, and the OS has no way of knowing if the disks are actually SAS or SATA... As far as I know. It also says: You can pass-thru PCI SATA controller, but the entire controller must be given to the guest. This I have confirmed. I have an ESXi server with eSATA controller and external disk attached. One reboot was required in order to configure the pass-thru. _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
