Hello everyone,
I'm stuck, so I'm asking for some help. I am trying to build a fileserver based on opensolaris/openindiana and ZFS. I have all my hardware and drives, but I've hit a snag. I only have 6 SATA ports on my mother board, and I have 7 drives, so I bought a PCIe SATA controller based on a JMicron 363, which is listed on the JMicron site as well as many other places as being compatible with the solaris AHCI driver. Well, it doesn't seem to be for me. I know the card works and the drives can be detected (they show up in an ubuntu live CD), but solaris just won't detect them.
Does anyone know of a way of making this controller work? I'm a total newbie to solaris, is there a command-line way of forcing the OS to use the AHCI driver for that card anyway? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.
