I have managed to get it to install fine - but it does not seem to work with a couple of port multiplier boxes I have.
Thanks!
T anybody able to speak to this? also, i know that these discussions have been geared towards esxi; will it work on straight esx? thanks! wally I would expect that the driver would behave in the exact same manner. _________________Dave Mishchenko VMware vExpert 2009-2012  Now available - VMware ESXi: Planning, Implementation, and SecurityAlso available - vSphere Quick Start Guide

Re: OEM.TGZ for the Sil3132 Hi there ppl!
First of all, thanks for this oem.tgz!
I have included it on the installation CD and added it to the boot sequence.
Now my discs are recognized. But they are not recognized as RAID (despite the fact that I created a Raid 1).
Thanks in advance!

Re: OEM.TGZ for the Sil3132 Hello Ripka, the sil3132 series is a software RAID controller. ESX(i) doesn't support software RAID so the best you'll get is individual disks.

Re: OEM.TGZ for the Sil3132 Damn! I specially bought that card thinking it was hardware based RAID.
How can I tell if a card is software based or not?
Is there any card you recommend to install this system using a RAID?
Thanks in advance!

Re: OEM.TGZ for the Sil3132 I would look at a Dell Perc 5 /6. You get hardware RAID plus health status in ESXi.

Re: OEM.TGZ for the Sil3132 Thanks for the tip, but I think I won't be able to get one of those cards in my country (Argentina).
Is there any known and supported hardware-based-raid-cards list?
(not the hardware compatibility page)
Thanks for your time!

Re: OEM.TGZ for the Sil3132 Cheers so much Dave!
I have a RocketRAID 231x. It recognises the 4 disks as individual 1TB drives now but not as a 3TB RAID 5 that is currently configured.
Any ideas? I'm hoping this isn't also a software based RAID.

Re: OEM.TGZ for the Sil3132 As far as I know Sil3132 devices are software based RAID.
