I SWAER I had this working in previous setup, didn't change a thing, I have a SC216 chassis that is not exactly conducive to adding another sata pwr whip unless I take one of the backplane pwr conn's off and splice in there. In that regard I have been reliably using a s3500 in slot 8 of my sc216 for booting ESXi and it has been working flawlessly, even after LSI 2008 v20 flash and removing boot rom bios. Today on my new X9SRL-F builds I cannot boot this server now.
Does that need to be there to use a LSI HBA to boot off of or am I losing my mind, was working before. Guess I could take it out, re-flash, slap boot rom back on it to test.
Would be good to get a yea/nay confirmation though. Seems to make sense but I KNOW I was booting cleanly before w/ it removed so color me perplexed.
Nothing smooth arnd here today.
