Supported RAID Controllers

Storage Management supports the following RAID controllers. For information on the technology used by the supported RAID controllers,

see RAID Controller Technology: SATA and SAS.

• PERC S100, PERC S110, PERC S130, PERC S300, PERC S140, PERC 150

• PERC H330 Adapter, PERC H330 Mini Monolithic, PERC H330 Mini Blades, PERC H330 Embedded, PERC H730 Adapter, PERC

H730 Mini Monolithic, PERC H730 Mini Blades, PERC H730P Adapter, PERC H730P Mini Monolithic, PERC H730P Mini Blades, PERC

H730P Slim, and PERC H830 Adapter

• PERC H840 Adapters

• PERC H740P Adapter, PERC H740P Mini Monolithic

• PERC FD33xD/FD33xS

• PERC H730P MX, PERC H745P MX

• PERC H745P Front, PERC H345 Front

• PERC H745 Adapter, PERC H345 Adapter

NOTE: The order of the controllers displayed on Storage Management may differ with the order of the controllers

displayed in the Human Interface (HII) and PERC Option ROM. The order of the controllers does not cause any

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

• HBA 345 Adapter

• HBA 345 Frnt

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 PERC 10.x and HBA 330 controllers, 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.

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.
