If i understand you correctly, what you want is the UEFI version of the H730 configuration utility ? There is no CTRL-R under UEFI as the storage manager is integrated in the UEFI UI See Dell PowerEdge RAID Controller (PERC) 9 User’s Guide

As it took me the better part of the evening to sort out how to get Windows Server to import an iSCSI volume from FreeBSD with properly working MPIO, please allow me to document my woes On the target side (FreeBSD 11.1) I configured two gigabit interfaces as 172.16.0.1/24 and 172.16.1.1/24...

Does it have an ATI graphics controller? I had severe video problems with an iMac of similar vintage, solved by installing FreeBSD on an MBR partitioned disk Why? The UEFI implementation on the old Mac's seems to be good for OSX only. But if you boot it from an MBR partition it loads a fairly...

I inherited an oldie at work today, an imac 27 inch core i5 (Model number 11.1) and want to share a few tips in order to get FreeBSD 11.1 running on it This model has an early UEFI Bios, an ATI Mobility Radeon 4850 graphics card and a nasty video firmware bug that made it useless with...

The t420s works very well with FreeBSD 11, the only piece of hardware that i have not tried is the integrated webcam. The following hotkeys work on mine Volume Mute Brightness Led Sleep Minimum energy usage when doing casual things like writing this answer and reading FreeBSD's mailing lists...

After upgrading my T420s (https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/17308/page-5#post-324950) to FreeBSD-11-BETA2 I thought it would be worthwhile to share my findings. The process was mostly painless, except for the two points below. It should be noted that, on my machine, the power usage when idle...

Hi, everybody Thinkpad T420s Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2520M 10.3-RELEASE 12 GB Ram (1x4GB DDR3-1333, 1x8GB DDR3-1333) 128 Mb SSD 1600x900 14' 0. Summary I couldn't be happier with this 'bargain-buy' that i got (used) last week. The hardware works really well with FreeBSD, it has an excellent...

Apple Macbook Pro 4.1 (Core 2 Duo 2.4 Ghz) heatsink cleaned; Ridiculous amount of thermal paste removed and replaced with correct quantity. FreeBSD mbp 9.1-STABLE FreeBSD 9.1-STABLE #1 r252701: Thu Jul 4 18:08:38 CLT 2013 root@mbp:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC amd64 Just powered up, no...

The same procedure should apply to your LSI MegaRAID SAS 9240-8i, and, if you intend to use ZFS, you will be rewarded with an very fast disk subsystem. Please be absolutely sure to make a backup of your current firmware before you reflash the controller, should you need to reflash the card back...

I'm fairly sure that the <simple comms> message is not related in any way to the storage controller. Could you boot (either by DVD or memory stick) into the "live" session, and find out what pciconf -lv says about your storage controller ?

H200 should work out of the box with 9.0-RC1 as long as the controller is in IT (initiator-target) mode, with the mps driver. I understand H700 should work as well, with the mfi driver. What sort of issues are you experiencing ?

Hi, As I still have the X3550 in the lab, I did a quick check of the latest 8.2 snapshot in ftp.freebsd.org for you. Unfortunately, the boot process dies after printing several ATAPI_IDENTIFY messages, then it reboots. 9.0RC1 works like a charm on the system, see my other thread here for a...

I am writing this on a Thinkpad T61p, with a dedicated Nvidia video card, running a zfs root 9-RC1-AMD64 install. The only thing that does not work "out of the box" is suspend/resume. While i understand there are some workarounds for that, i have yet to give them a try. By personal experience...

Hi, Are there any experiences running powerd on a server ? Any disadvantages that would make it unadvisable ? Best regards, Roberto

A couple of days ago, we received a brand new IBM x3550 M3 model 7944AC1. My goal for this system was to do a simple mirrored ZFS root install. As there are some non-conclusive threads on whether this system works at all, I decided to document how I got it to work. This system has an embedded...

8.2-Stable should work on the X3550 M3, 9-Beta3 works for sure. It is, however, rather painfull to install I will open a new thread with my findings. Best regards, Roberto

Yes, and most of it touches the memory management structures in the kernel. This is difficult stuff! Good luck Konstantine!

Hello, Are there any experiences running FreeBSD on the Thinkpad W520? I have a machine on loan that I can try FreeBSD on, apart from the basics (ACPI, video, sound, networking, wireless, bluetooth), is there anything you'd want me to test? Best regards, Roberto

I am running a 4 disk mirror+stripe zpool (what would be the equivalent of Raid 10 under zfs) with a 64 bit 8.2-STABLE kernel. No problems so far.
