For information on alert messages, see the Server Administrator Messages Reference Guide.

limitation.

Supported Non-RAID Controllers

Storage Management supports the following non-RAID controllers:

• SAS 12 Gbps HBA

• HBA 330 Mini

• HBA 330 Adapter

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: For HBA 330 controller, the backplane is displayed under a single logical connector, and all the physical disks are

displayed under the same backplane.

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.
