Hello,
I have not been able to find information about the Dell 12Gbps HBA card (part number 2PHG9, which to my understanding is NOT a HBA330) and its use in TrueNAS core installations on the forum or on the web. On this link:
Its stated that this card is indeed a LSI SAS 3008 (which in turn probably, as I understand it, is a Broadcom 9300) with dell FW. Ive gotten the impression that the 3008 is fine for TrueNAS but since I dont have the LSI/Broadcom firmware, do I need to reflash it? Its currently running Dells fw version 16.17.01.00.
What I primarily want is some input from someone running it in production as TrueNAS on my rig (otherwise a Dell R740) will not boot with a "root mount waiting for cam" error, also referencing the mrsas driver (although this might be related to the PERC H730P Adapter that runs the intended boot disks, in HBA mode).
I've tried on two separate (identical) R740s, each with HBA 3 cards (also disabled single cards), and they'll boot the installer fine if I disable all the PCI-slots for the SAS HBA cards (and then I can install TrueNAS on the H730 card) but if the HBAs are active, it wont boot (not when its installed either). These boxes were running another ZFS based storage OS before so they should work. No JBODs connected either, so no drives available on the cards.
Thanks for reading!
