Supported Non-RAID controllers

Storage Management supports the following non-RAID controllers:

  • SAS 12 Gbps HBA
  • HBA330 MX
  • HBA330 MMZ
  • HBA345 Frnt/Adpt
  • HBA350i Mini Monolithic
  • HBA350i Mini Mono Low Profile
  • HBA355i Frnt/Adpt
  • HBA355e Adpt
  • HBA350i Adpt
  • HBA350i MX
NOTE: The HBA355e Adpt is supported on all PowerEdge YX4X servers, to fully replace 12 Gbps Ext. SAS HBA cards.
NOTE:  When a backplane without an expander (passive backplane) is connected to an HBA330 controller, the enumeration of the physical disks is detected as Logical Connector.
NOTE: For HBA controllers, the Available Reports that can be viewed are View Slot Occupancy Report and View Physical Disk Firmware Version Report.
NOTE: A logical connector is displayed for all PERC 10 and later family of hardware controllers, HBA controllers, and MX series controllers. All the physical disks are detected under this logical connector. However, the logical connector is not displayed under PERC 9 (excluding PERC H330 Adapter, PERC H330 Mini Blade, and PERC H330 Mini Monolithic) and prior family of hardware controllers, external PERC, and HBA controllers.
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.
