Hi,
I just upgraded my server from 6.7 with an older SuperMicro board (including an SAS2008 controller) to 7.0 and an SAS3008 controller.
Exact product: Broadcom SAS 9300-8i, LSI00344 (should be a HBA in IT mode as far as I know?)
In ESXi that controller is not listed as SR-IOV / Passthrough capable. SR-IOV support is enabled in the BIOS (Intel NICs for example are showing support).
Now I use napp-it as storage server which usually needs that controller passed through.
Is passing those SAS lanes through a VM done otherwise nowadays or did I just get an HBA which is not capable of SR-IOV?
Maybe a question with a quick answer, but I am somehow confused now.
Thanks,
daisho
