We are looking to use SSG-620P-E1CR24H servers for Ceph cluster. The current hardware spec has 2 NVMe disks configured on a RAID 1 using the Avago 3408 controller (this will be used for the OS installation / RHEL 9) ; the remaining SAS SSD's are on a Broadcom 3408 controller are going to be used in a JBOD configuration.
Can you direct us on what the latest firmware is for both the Avago 3408 and the Broadcom 3908?
Can you direct us on best practices for configuration of these for the OS and as JBOD's for support of Ceph storage?
The firmware for AOC-SLG3-2H8M2 and AOC-S3908L-H8IR-32DD-P can be downloaded from this link
https://www.supermicro.com/wdl/driver/SAS/Broadcom/3408/Firmware/AOC-SLG3-2H8M2/51.17.0-4052.zip
For S3908,
https://www.supermicro.com/wdl/driver/SAS/Broadcom/3908-3916/Firmware/3908/AOC-S3908L-H8iR(-16DDor-32DD)/5.310.02-4101.3908.rar
For OS installation: Create RAID1 for AOC-SLG3-2H8M2. You can do it through HII EFI in Advanced BIOS page.
After you installed the OS and able to boot into linux, install storcli
https://www.supermicro.com/wdl/driver/SAS/Broadcom/3908-3916/Management/007.3103.0000.0000_MR%207.31_storcli.zip
With S3908, default, all drives are detected and pulled in as Unconfigured Good.
If you want to make them all JBOD
# /opt/MegaRAID/storcli/storcli64 /c0/eall/sall set jbod [force] # force all drives into JBOD mode.
