Supported Non-RAID Controllers
Storage Management supports the following non-RAID controllers:
- SAS 12 Gbps HBA
- HBA 345 Adapter only on C6525
- HBA 345 Frnt on R6525
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: A logical connector is displayed under the HBA 330 controller, and all the physical disks will be detected under this logical connector.
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.
