Looking at server specs, the R6515's NVME support is only through the
PERC S150 RAID controller. If that's the case, I'm pretty sure
you're out of luck. The PERC S-series controllers are software-based
RAID that require Dell's Windows or Linux drivers. You'd need a PERC
H-series card to get support in FreeBSD.
That's something I didn't expect at all. So there is nothing which can
be fixed on FreeBSD side? :(
Someone please correct me if I'm wrong?
As I mentioned. I was suspicious of this. He should be able to flash
the card,
making it a pass. I do a lot of them. If someone doesn't beat me to
it. I'll
dig through what I have, and see if I can't find the right image(s),
and program(s).
This is rented dedicated machine. I cannot flash anything on it.
I can ask the provider if they can install some card. Do you have some
recommendation? What is supported by Dell and FreeBSD for ZFS?
I really appreciate your help!
I tried to find info about controller in the iDRAC. I walk through the
System / Inventory / Hardware Inventory and found nothing about S130

When I go in to menu Configuration / Controllers there is empty list.
Is this expected in case of S130?
I would really like to fulfil the client needs and run FreeBSD on it.
But These R6515 are too new too me. The last PowerEdge I have in hand
was R610 / T20. Both working fine with FreeBSD.
