Here is LSI's statement on this (SuperMicro's 2308 despite being on the HCL for pass through never should be used). Espect firmware crashes, and dataloss if you try. A LOT of controllers that you can enable pass through mode on are NOT supported by LSI in this mode. VSAN HCL testing is a lot more rigorous now.Ģ. LSI will be in my office Monday and I'll ask but i wouldn't hold your breath.ġ. # LSI Logic / Symbios Logic MegaRAID SAS-3 3108 (rev 02)
# reset methods: flr, d3d0, link, bridge, default # vendor/device id: xxxx (in hex) (ffff can be used for wildchar match) # file format: vendor-id device-id resetMethod fptShareable After making the modification, go back to the shell and run 'auto-backup.sh' and reboot the host. Make an entry for the controller and use the 'link' method for reset. So in short I told ESXi to use a different method of reset. When the VM, who owns the controller via passthru, abruptly resets the host needs to send a reset to the device and apparently the default 'd3d0' puts the PERC into bad unrecoverable state (without a host reboot anyhow). For me it turned out to be the way ESXi was trying to reset the controller. I was running into similar issues with the PERC H730p. We do have cases currently open with VMware and Dell, and are in communication with LSI.Īny guidance would be greatly appreciated. We know this configuration is not currently listed on the HCL. The fallback of RAID0 has passed tests so far, but we all know what that means. Errors increment in the individual drive counters correlating with these events. We are having stability issues that are exhibited via PSOD and intermittent permanent disk failures on a VSAN platform build based on the above in Dell R730 chassis with Fusion-io ioScale fronted Seagate 10k v7 ST1200MM0007 disk groups.Ĭommon log events include “firmware in fault state” for the HBA and resets and aborts for the individual disks.
Hello, would anybody happen to have any guidance or a proven config utilizing the PERC H730p/LSI 3108/Invader controller (FW 25.) in pass-thru with VSAN (ESXi 5.5 build 2143827).
