Install FC QLE220/QLx246x with FreeNAS 9.10

[rubenm]

Hi all

I am using FreeNAS 9.10 (when I upgrade to the new version plex does not work) and I install a QLE220 Fiber card to try to get connection faster when transferring data.
The card appears in the Boot menu from PC but when I enter GUI of FreeNAS I do not see anything related to it.
I found information for it but for who uses external drivers connected with FC, that is not the case, I just want a faster connection between a Windows PC and my FreeNAS.
Does it need to install drivers?


cheers

Well you are going to have to do a ton to make it work it seems. Though the driver should be available.

You would be better off getting a couple 10Gbit NICs and use them rather than using the FC cards is my guess.

I tried the second link but when I get to 5:

create extent (device will be a physical disk, file will be a file on zfs vol of your choice) Research these!

I do not know how to do it, and the images provided are blocked.
