Users Guide

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 rst 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 rmware limitation in the SAS 12 Gbps HBA. However, this connector ID discrepancy does not cause

any functional limitation.
