Hi,
Need some help with a strange problem . I have built an All-In-One based on the following components:
Motherboard: Supermicro X9SRL-F
Processor: Xeon E5-2620
RAM: 64GB DDR3 ECC
SAS: 3x IBM M1015 flashed in IT mode
Everything is working very well. It's running ESXi 5.1 and the latest OI with Napp-It controlling the SAS adapters via pass-through. I had added a first 256 MB Plextor M3 as cache drive which works fine.
However one weird thing I cannot get solved. A second Plextor M3 SSD which I wanted to test as L2ARC is not recognized. When I connect it to the Intel SATA interfaces it's recognized by VMWare and I can format it and use it as a datastore. But when I connect it to the SAS adapters, OI doesn't see it. Hardware reboot, VM reboot, nothing helps. I have checked all connections and even swapped it to different sata cables but no go. This is pretty baffling as the first one shows up perfectly.
Any idea how I can solve this from the command-line or troubleshoot what's wrong ?
Thanks!
