teejay Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 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. Quote Link to comment
marcusone Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 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 Quote Link to comment
teejay Posted March 15, 2014 Author Share Posted March 15, 2014 No, I'm currently running unRAID as dom0 using 6beta3. Quote Link to comment
sswift13 Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 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... Quote Link to comment
