I had recently purchased several ConnectX-2 MNPA19-XTR 10GbE SFP+ NICs to be used on ZFS storage with OmniOS and Napp-It. Before I purchased them several weeks ago, I saw that they were on the OmniOS/IllumOS HCL but now they are not.
I did some digging and some people did say that the ConnectX-2 are no longer supported. Is this true? If so, that really sucks! And my only option is Solaris 11? What about Solaris Express? It would obviously be nicer to use a free OS. I'm not too crazy about FreeNAS. I really need Solaris based ZFS for its ComStar iSCSI as I will also be installing a QLogic 8Gb Fiber Channel HBA on the same box presenting LUN Target (FC over Ethernet). I know this will work using the QLT drivers and I found many document on setting it up.
I am still waiting for the ConnectX-2 NICs to arrive in order to really test.
Anyone has an idea on this?
Thank you
