In the kexts I found some information in the plist file that mentions an activation process but not being a coder I cant tell if there is an easy way to circumvent the activation I have not tried to connect the card to an expander chassis so perhaps it won't permit that. The Astek site claims that without a license (which they no longer sell) and using it on a non Astek card, it will be 'limited' but it does not say what the limitations areĪ licensed copy can control up to 128 drives so perhaps it reduces that.

leaving out the management and registration software since I am not running a raid, just an lsi9212 HBA IT.
#OPENZFS YOSEMITE DRIVER#
Loaded the kexts from the Astek driver package. So keep the tested and working card suggestions coming. although if I go that route I am seriously contemplating doing a esxi / napp-it all in one and putting OS X on a napp-it zfs pool as a VM. I am also considering building a new system on a s5520 board and I would need new HBA / sata options for that solution as well. from what I have read this great kext project does not work with IT cards, only lsimegaraid. that I dont have to pass each disk as a raid 0 as that is just not the way to do it for the above reasons. I know I need an HBA but which ones will work in IT mode in OS X / hackintosh either with this kext or natively. plus since its a daisy chain able enclosure using IT mode gives me the ability to attach like 125 drives or more where in IR or raid mode the drive count is usually much smaller. I dont want to have to export 16 drives (or more in the future though chaining multiple enclosure) manually and I dont want the drives 'tagged' by a raid controller making migration or HBA replacement difficult. IT mode is the best performing with least hassle. This requires a HBA and since I am using ZFS. 16 disks via 8088 since the box uses an expander onboard and would give me higher throughput, allow adding another 8drive vdev to the backup pool and only use one cable. What I would like to do is move the 8 drives in the esata enclosure to a SE3016 omnistor box. The backup pool as stated above is a separate box using 2x esata cables and surprisingly good xfer for the setup and is This server runs Plex server among other tasks and has 6x2tb drives in a ZFS zpool using open ZFS OS X and works pretty well Sil3132 2x esata card (connects to SansDigital towerstor 8x1.5tb backup array (raidz). My server/storage box is a GA-EP45-DS3l hackintosh running 10.11.3 with clover with the following hardwareġ0 drives (6 through onboard ICH / 4 SilImage 4 sata pci card)

So, in order for the Boot Camp setup application in OS X to see the PERC's VDs, you will first need to install dukzcry's SASMegaRAID kext.ĭon't attempt anything before making a complete backup of your system. Sorry but I've never used Boot Camp but after looking at the setup guide, you'd need to start within the OS X environment. In theory you should be able to temporarily disable the security until after you've installed and the system rebuilds the kernel cache. Note that disabling kext signing will create a security risk. In order to install dukzcry's SASMegaRAID kext, you may need to disable OS X's kext signing, which is done automatically with a Hackintosh.

Lastly, be certain you choose the correct VD and make it bootable (Manual page 110) in the RAID BIOS manager under the "Ctrl Mgmt" tab. It'll probably need to live on a VD connected to the PERC.

You'd also need to research where to place the boot manager. Not sure if you can use an alternate boot manager, one that would load both Windows and OS X. However you'll need to research if and how Apple Boot Camp would recognize the Windows VD on the PERC card.

I'd like to use one exclusively for booting Windows 10 with, so it neeeds to be bootable. Does anyone know if the PERC 6i works in a Mac Pro 4,1 or 5,1 rather than in a Hackintosh?
