ServerRAID M1015

Hello,

I have new IBM server X3250 M3 with ServerRAID M1015 SAS/SATA Controller.
pfSense don't see the controller and the RAID1 i have made.
I tryed to break the RAID and still pfSense don't see the disks.
I tryed to install Windows 2008 and he worked great.

So now i stuck with 2 servers with this Controller and i can't install pfSense.

Can someone help me with this issue?
or i have to buy new controller cause this one is not supported?

What version of pfSense have you tried? If you only tried 1.2.3, give 2.0 a try. Though I don't see that specific part in the man page for the ips(4) driver, other IBM ServerRAID adapters are supported there.

     Controllers supported by the ips driver include:

     +o	 IBM ServeRAID 3H
     +o	 ServeRAID 4L/4M/4H
     +o	 ServeRAID Series 5
     +o	 ServeRAID 6i/6M
     +o	 ServeRAID 7t/7k/7M

It looks like you might have to change the raid firmware to get it working.
