Are the AHCI ports the 4 black and two white SATA ports directly on the
board? Either way I looked in the bios settings and I turned off SCU
mode and I made sure AHCI mode was enabled but the drives were not
detected in either the hot-swap bays or the sata ports directly on the
board.

The AHCI ports are supported. The Intel SCU ports are *not*. I think
its fairly typical of platforms in that particular generation to use
external bays or bays where larger mass storage are expected with the
SCU. The SCU was *supposed* be superior. (For various reasons, it
wasn’t. Not including the fact that we never got drivers done for it
owing not in small part due to the ridiculously complex and buggy
software stack that Intel forced everyone to use with it. Lower level
hardware specs were never made available. Then, the hardware itself was
also buggy, and Intel never figured out how to make 6Gbps work reliably,
never mind 12Gbps, if I recall.)
Hook the disks up to AHCI ports, and you should be golden. Those SCU
ports are just dead weight — usable in some OS’, but not all. And
certainly not illumos.

hooked up to the hot swap bays SuperServer 1027R-WRFT+ .

So it appears your system both has a standard AHCI controller and also
has the short-lived Intel SCU SAS/SATA controller. Which of those are
your disks actually hooked up to?
Thanks,

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.
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
