Supported Non-RAID Controllers
Storage Management supports the following non-RAID controllers:
- Broadcom PCIe U320
- SAS 6 Gbps Host Bus Adapter (HBA)
- Broadcom SAS 9207-8e
- Broadcom SAS 9300-8e
- Broadcom SAS 9206-16e
- SAS 12 Gbps HBA
- HBA 330
NOTE: Storage Management
only enumerates and provides the PCI slot information for Broadcom
SAS 9207-8e and SAS 9300-8e controllers. As Storage Management does
not monitor these non-RAID controllers, devices connected to these
controllers are not enumerated, alerts are not logged, and SNMP traps
are not sent for these controllers.
NOTE: In Storage Management,
the Broadcom SAS 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
HBA and HBA 330 controller, the Available Reports that can be viewed are View Slot Occupancy
Report and View Physical Disk
Firmware Version Report.
NOTE: At times, the connector ID for SAS 12 Gbps HBA may not be displayed
correctly on Storage Management. This occurs because of a firmware
limitation in the SAS 12 Gbps HBA. However, this connector ID discrepancy
does not cause any functional limitation.
