Blue Iris in a VM.

After ordering a SAS Controller, I have just found an LSI LS2-SAS9240-8i laying around which I can use. Untested, but I assume it works. I may cancel my order for the other one.

Anyone know how one can switch these LSI cards between RAID and IT / JBOD mode?
 
I will look for a guide. I did notice that the manual states JBOD mode is supported, but there is no mention of IT mode. I assumed they were equivalent, but have since discovered there is a difference, and true IT mode is preferable. Hopefully JBOD will do...
 
I successfully cross-flashed an IT firmware onto my LSI LS2-SAS9240-8i and it seems to be presenting the individual drives to Proxmox.

Now I can go through and setup the server.

Great, I'm glad that worked. Be sure to set up email sending capability in Proxmox. That is the only way it has to notify you of disk failures in ZFS other than you manually opening the host shell and typing zpool status. Assuming you use ZFS.

Very good point, I will certainly do that.

I am using ZFS to mirror two SSD's for PVE and VM OS disks etc. And then I am thinking I will probably passthrough any dedicated BI video storage disks to BI VM.

I also keep meaning to, while I have the server case open, disconnect 1 of the two SSD's, and make sure it all keeps on running.
