If you install Storage Management without the minimum required firmware and drivers, Storage Management may not be able to display
the controllers or perform other functions. Storage Management generates alerts 2131 and 2132 when it detects unsupported firmware or
drivers on a controller.
For information on alert messages, see the Server Administrator Messages Reference Guide.
Supported Controllers
NOTE: The firmware and drivers listed in the Server Administrator Release Notes refer to the minimum supported

limitation.
Supported Non-RAID Controllers
Storage Management supports the following non-RAID controllers:
• SAS 12 Gbps HBA
• HBA 330
• HBA 330 MX
• HBA 330 MMZ
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.
