Hey,
Does anyone else have this board? Supermicro X10SRL-F... or another X10 E5 2011-3 board, similar to it? (Has C612 chipset)
I just picked it up and put it together and I was about to move my disk array over to it when I noticed I don't see the onboard SATA controllers (it has two) in the list of PCI devices that can be VT-D passed through.
There's plenty of others, USB controllers, NVMe adapters, NICs, even the Aspeed IPMI VGA controller... but no SATA controllers?
My first FreeNAS build was an ESXi 5.5 passthrough VM using the onboard Cougar Point SATA controller from the C202 chipset of a Supermicro X9SCL-F. That was at least 3-4 years ago.
Why is it a newer board wouldn't be able to do the same thing? Especially with TWO onboard SATA controllers... Does it have something to do with being an E5 board?
Would love it if someone could shed light on this dismal situation...
Thanks!
