SCSI and SAS support in RouterOS

There are many different adapters and drivers, if you would have to choose, what would be the most popular SCSI/SAS controller model to support? What server class hardware is the most popular in your area, the most available and reasonably priced? If we would add support for one or two controllers, which ones would they be?

Please share your experience and opinion

it reminds me of the topic about USB UPSes :frowning: sorry for my pessimism

At the very least, support the megaraid, megaraid_sas drivers and 3ware drivers.

They will cover most SCSI/SAS RAID controllers available. For example, almost all Dell PERC SCSI controllers use the megaraid drivers, and all the Dell PERC SAS (eg. 6/6i) controllers use the megaraid_sas drivers, and HP use LSI controllers which also use the megaraid drivers. The next most common one I know of and have seen is the 3ware cards, which are quite often used in custom, home-made or industrial chassis. These are very mature, stable drivers and should pose no problems.

Suport for megaraid.ko and ahci.ko would be nice.

If deploying x86 hardware we always use Dell or Axiomtech and this will cover both of them.

Support for Intel SATA for CDROM installs would be helpful. Currently if you boot the ISO image on an x86 system with Intel chipset/SATA and SATA DVD drive, it gives a ‘FATAL ERROR: no CD-ROM found’, although it does show ‘Found hard drive as SATA 0’ so its loading the controller, but currently seems to only support IDE CDROM drives. Motherboards don’t come with IDE controllers anymore!

Looking for harddrives…

Found harddrive as SATA 0

ahci.ko should fix the issue with sata cd-roms.

New information the scsi support? Start Implement ros5 ?

What’s the status of SATA support in v5? hard disk and cdrom support?

Support for the VMWare SCSI drivers would be nice.

We added some SCSI drivers in v5beta2, can somebody please test with a demo key or 24h trial?

Any info on which drivers ??
