These two new single Xeon socket 3647 systems are my intended main future storage/AiO platform as they offer lanes for up to 10 NVMe (2 OcuLink and M.2 onboard), onboard 10G (either 10Gbase-T or SFP+) and LSI 3008 and max 1TB ECC RAM at a price of around 500 Euro without CPU and RAM.
I was able to install the newest OmniOS 151024. Nic (10Gbase-T and SFP+) worked as well as the LSI and the NVMe OcuLink ports with two Optane 900P. But USB give troubles.
With an initial bios setting I was not able to install from USB or with an USB keyboard.
I needed the following Bios setting to make it working
- Advanced Bootfeature: enable Windows 7 USB Keyboard support=yes
- Chipset Southbridge:
Legacy USB support=enable
XHCI=disable
After booting of OmniOS, i got the console messages:
xhci0: failed to map device registers: -1
An additional problem was that caps-lock is inverted.
Caps Lock off=uppercase
On Solaris 11.3 I didn't saw this USB problem but the new Nics (10Gbase-T and SFP+)
are not detected. On Solaris you may need a pci-e nic at the moment.
