Server Administrator Storage Management 8.3 User’s Guide

Non-RAID SAS Controllers

The following non-RAID controllers use Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) technology:

• SAS 6 Gbps Adapter
• LSI SAS 9207-8e
• LSI SAS 9300-8e
• LSI SAS 9206-16e
• SAS 12 Gbps Adapter
• HBA 330

NOTE: In Storage Management, the LSI SAS Host Bus Adapter (HBA) controller page display properties such as: ID, Status, Name, Slot ID, State, Driver Version, Storport Driver Version, Number of Connectors, and Controller Tasks.

NOTE: When a backplane without an expander (passive backplane) is connected to an HBA 330 controller, the enumeration of the physical disks is split between Connector 0 and Connector 1. For example, if the passive backplane is populated with a maximum of eight physical disks, the first four physical disks are listed under Connector 0 and the remaining four physical disks are listed under Connector 1. You will be able to view all the eight physical disks only if both bays are connected. If one bay is connected, only the physical disks associated with that bay are displayed.

NOTE: For SAS 12 Gbps Adapter and HBA 330 controller, the Available Reports that can be viewed are View Slot Occupancy Report and View Physical Disk Firmware Version Report.
