Hello,
I am trying to convince FreeNAS into using the disks from an EMC DAE Enclosure, connected through a cable directly the the FreeNAS Server.
FreeNAS config:
- Xeon 4 cores;
- 64G RAM;
- No HDDs;
- 2 SLC USB Flash Drives for boot.
Controller:
- QLogic QLE2464
DAE:
- EMC KTN-STL4 4Gbps FC direct attached enclosure http://www.ebay.com/itm/EMC-EMC2-DE...204590?hash=item1c836f772e:g:IhYAAOSwuLZY1~e3
QLE2564 does see all the disks.
Most of the cases FNAS does not see the disks, actually it sees them sa daX to daY but in the end of the boot process it detaches them, so there will no longer be visible.
After reading the thread: https://forums.freenas.org/index.php?threads/fc-target-support-in-freenas-9-1-0.14139/
1 or 2 times I've managed to make them visible to FNAS (still trying to replicate that) but instead of seeing 4TB disks is sees only 500GB disks?!? Like WTF?!?
Does anyone have any experience with this kind of setup? How should I do it?
Thanks and regards,
