I have working Truenas scale on supermicro ivy-E platform with 2670v2. I tried to change to x99 with 2650l v3 and at first it tried to boot. then Gaveerror that zfs import failed for boot so i tried zpool import -N boot... -f and seems that helped
then when it tries to continue to boot it fails on config import or something. even if it boots it fails to obtain Ip. I've put the same mellanox 10g sfp+ nic as previously. looks that naming has changed but wieh o connected directly and select 1. - for network configuration there is nothing.
but mlx4 driver is working
i also have fusion-io but due to lack of ipmi and 3 pcie 16x i cant connect gpu, fusionio and mellanox at the same time
It's possible to just change platform from ivy to haswell and it should work or i should ddo completely new install for different motherboard ?
i see some errors like
Code:
unable to access opcode bytes at RIP


I've tried to do a fresh install on another ssd and seems that i was able to access truenas on x99 after some tinkering with ifconfig. after i accessed gui i've imported config seems like it was working.. but dashboard was completely empty
even though fusionIO was visibe zfs pool of that disk wasn't attached. when i was trying to import it there wasn't anything to import.
I was afraid that i may broke zfs pool of fusionio so i stopped mess with it more and went back to older paltform and everything works as normal.
I've installed latest RC2

We've not in-house done any fusion io testing on SCALE, so your milage may vary here. However it seems you at least got past your initial boot issue. I'd suggest on the new board, try running "zpool import" from the CLI to see if it sees the pool "out there" or take a look at dmesg output to see if fusion-io driver is loading or throwing some error at bootup.

I've tried and now strangely worked.
I've started with only boot drive.
When it booted it got IP as before
I rebooted just to make sure it works.
then i've put fusionio
it was recognizer properly and zpool has been attached.
I had to reconfigure k3c network to make apps visible

my only issue as of right now is that dashboard is empty
i also don't see another nic connected. only mellanox that i've plug from old server
