Users Guide

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: 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 rmware limitation in the SAS 12 Gbps HBA. However, this connector ID discrepancy does not cause any functional
limitation.
Support For Disk And Volume Management
Storage Management does not provide disk and volume management. To implement disk and volume management, you must use the
native disk and volume management utilities provided by your operating system.
