    Question Megaraid 9271-4i

    Hello,

    We would like to use the Megaraid 9271-4i card since they have incredible specs.

    Would this card work in open-e active-active San? I could not find it in the HCL but will it work?

    Regards,

    Question ?

    Hello,

    Ok we got our setup today...

    The array, has cache vault enabled, but open-e says no BBU available and says it disables write-back. Cache vault however is the BBU option on this card.

    Also we installed the open-e software on the RAID50 array and it boots fine, but when we open the volume manager it says "No units found"

    We are trying now to create a 2GB partition and install it on there. Any comments that may help?

    I started the server with knoppix, a 2GB partition is created with FAT32.... I feel the driver is not recognizing the array, please advice..

    The server sees this as the LSI 9271-4i :

    RAID/SCSI controllers
    Intel Corporation Patsburg 4-Port SATA Storage Control Unit (rev 06)
    LSI Logic / Symbios Logic MegaRAID SAS 2208 [Thunderbolt] (rev 05)

    We create the 2GB partition on install, but in order to use the rest for data, you need to create 2 logical Units on the RAID yourself first.
    1- 2GB for the OS
    2- The balance left over for data.

    As for the BBU info, just use the option of writeback even with out BBU.

    This can help:
