最近再問他一些關於LSISAS2008的問題..
問題兩個:
LSISAS2008在IR或著IMR模式下, 究竟是不是一個hardware RAID solution(因為官方網站說明他是hardware RAID)...??
那顆built-in processor有沒有作用?..
我是用我在測試的X8SI6-F版子去詢問...
因為這張板子內置一顆LSISAS2008 SAS chip...
第一次詢問..
給我的答案是..
I would recommend contacting your OEM as only they would have the information necessary to assist you with your request.
ok...
我換個問題詢問...
我拿它們自家產品來問...
就是目前的9211/9240...
結果得到的答案是...
Please contact your OEM for support of your OEM product. 靠, 一擊把我打死, 一句話都沒法駁...打死就是不說就對了..
好吧..
叫我問OEM..
我就去問...
我直接去問supermicro..
supermicro直接跟我講...
The X8SI6-F is using LSI 2008 raid controller. Default is IR mode. User can select IMR mode by flashing IMR firmware. Both are consider as firmware raid. Not hardware raid.
跟我想得有所差異..
我以為我得到的回答應該會是IOC-based RAID...
結果是一個fake RAID的答案..
我拿這回答去問LSI為什麼會有不同的差異??
LSI跟我說了一個含糊的回答..
The OEM would be the best source of information regarding the OEM product. The chip silicon itself does not determine whether this is a hardware or software RAID solution. 囧.............
依然還是不說...
Yes or no的類似回答有這麼困難喔... ...
整個IP core是LSI開發的..
firmware/ap方面的支持也是你們給的..
難道全是Supermicro做的喔??
已無意在問下去..
