I'm in the final stages of my home build and I'm going for virtualized setup with ESXi. There's still one thing I'm a little unclear about
The board I chose (ASRock Rack EPC612D4U) has 8x onboard SATA via the C612 chipset and I would like to pass this through to my FreeNAS VM instead of buying a separate HBA... jbod, no fake raid or anything
I've done some searching around and I'm not finding a lot of information, but I've read that there may be some issues doing this if the motherboard doesn't have a sata controller separate from the chipset. Does anyone know anything about this?
