A lot of us just have i350-T2/4 adapters. They're a lot cheaper than the older dual and quad server NICs.

I'm not asking about the i350... I'm asking about the LSI MPT SAS boards. Specifically, does anyone have an 9211-8i working with a Xeon-E5 system?

I had some issues with my 9201-16i and 9211-8i on an E3-1270 + X9SCM-F that weren't present on my older L3426 + X8SIL-F. The issue was that I couldn't see all the drives on both controllers. The solution was to disable the OPROM support for the PCI-E slots that were not actually necessary to boot my OS.

Shoot. This isn't a Romley system with the C600 chipset. While knowing about OpROM is nice, I'm not sure if it'll help me immediately.

dan, there is a guy on twitter testing nexentastor with romley.. i'll hunt him down

I have a new romley supermicro c600 system with 9211-8i... 8 intel 120 GB 520's. Not having any problems with the mptsas driver for the 9211-8i just the onboard c600 SAS driver is not being recognized.

We expect romley support in 3.x release(coming soon), but the sas driver won't be until later this year.

3.1.3 is now available for download

we have a Supermicro X9 HA Cluster (E 5 Romley) working with a LSI 9207-4i-4e (PCIe 3.0) working perfectly in out lab.
