March 15, 201412 yr I have a Dell Perc 6/e card (LSI SAS 1078) that I would like to use to expand out my unRAID server. My original plan was to do a PCI passthrough and let a VM manage it completely independently. Unfortunately while my hardware supports vt-d, there is a glitch in the cpu/chipset that prevents this from working. Now I'm wondering if I can't get unRAID to recognize the card and use it. I understand that this card won't serve as a JBOD and that I won't be able to add the drives to the unRAID array. However I'm wondering if it would be possible to still use the card to add drives using SNAP that aren't protected by unRAID. Is there any easy way of doing this? It looks like the drivers needed aren't present.
March 15, 201412 yr You running ESXi? If so. Id just create a raid for vmdk storage and create a virtual drive that you can add to unraid and mount via snap within unraid. Sent from my SGH-I727R using Tapatalk 2
May 20, 201412 yr I am in the same situation with a Perc 6i. Someone to verify whether the mptsas driver is included or not in unraid 6 please...
