My company wants to make the switch to smartos from FreeBSD 10. Before
making the switch we wanted to mess around with smartos on real hardware
not just in vmware. We had a spare 1U laying around so I made a bootable
USB with the latest smartos usb image. When I booted the machine the
installer started just fine. However when I get to the create storage
pool section, no disks show up next to, Valid choices are. This Box has
8 samsung 1tb 840 evos and none of them are being picked up by the
installer. I saw that joyent strongly recommends SAS over SATA but as
far as I can tell the illumos kernel supports SATA so I'm not sure why
none of these ssd's are being detected.
Looking into smartos_prompt_config.sh it looks like 'disklist -n' is
returning blank. Shouldn't there be a check for nothing being returned
by 'disklist -n' like...
if [[ $disks == "" ]]; then
echo "No disks detected!"
I'm not sure but I think ALLDISKS in disklist.sh is not being set to
anything, but I can't test that until I am back at the box.
Any help with getting smartos to detect the ssd's would be much
appreciated, thanks and the motherboard is a Supermicro X9DRW-3TF+ if
that helps.
