[OmniOS-discuss] Recommend any FC Gen 5 or Gen 6 HBAs?

[Phil Forrest]

Hello everyone,

I have a new project, so everything mentioned here is with clean OS installs. Not production.

Can anyone recommend a Gen 5 or Gen 6 (preferred) 16GB Fibre Channel HBA known to work in r151022 or later?

I have tried, without success, to get the following Fibre Channel Cards to work in a clean r151026 install on SuperMicro System  SYS-2029P-C1R

Emulex Corporation Lancer Gen6: LPe32000 Fibre Channel Host Adapter
QLogic Corp. ISP8324-based 16Gb Fibre Channel to PCI Express Adapter

The system sees the hardware:
