Here's the output from prtconf -v it's big so I linked to the file

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

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.
Hi Harrison,
It's true that we do strongly recommend SAS over SATA, but the system
does generally support SATA; however, we don't necessarily support every
SATA controller under the sun. From the bootable USB entry, can you
select the noimport mode and run prtconf -v and redirect that to a file
back on the USB key and make that available? That'll allow us to
determine what your SATA controller is and whether or not we support it.
Thanks,
Robert
