[OmniOS-discuss] a few questions about omniosce/illumos/hardware

[Jeff Stockett]

Tyan is making a new EPYC based server chassis that looks pretty slick (24 hotswap U.2 nvme drives directly connected to the CPU - no PLX expanders required):

Phoronix reviewed it today - and reports that latest OI Hipster wouldn't see the NVMe storage - I'm thinking that is probably illumos issue 8239 which is reportedly fixed:

A few questions:


  1.  Has anyone tried this server/motherboard with latest OmniOSCE?
  2.  How do you tell which illumos GIT commits go into a given build of OmniOSCE if it isn't too complicated?
  3.  The board has an OCP mezzanine adapter slot for network - I assume this X710-DA2 for OCP from Intel might work since the X710 has been supported for about a year now?
