Hi Peter,
hi list,
If you have a SAS controller attached via the mpt_sas driver, for
instance, you can absolutely expect hot plugged disks to go away and
return automatically. If not, then you are experiencing bugs in the
system and should report them as such so that we can fix them.

Is this in IDE emulation mode per-chance? If your controller acts this
way in AHCI mode, it's defective and should be replaced
Alright, I'll try again. Gimme a couple days to respond, as this is what I do

This is emphatically false. Though the pestilence of cfgadm(1M) and
the idea that device replacement is somehow advantageously manual had
persisted inside Sun's walls until its untimely demise, SunOS itself
is certainly capable of

It's good to see such enthusiasm.
However, all that crap has never, to my knowledge, been clearly
documented, so blaming it on the users is not exactly fair. Trial and

Hi all,
... so just to make sure I got that right: for the T3-1 you'd suggest to dump
the PCIe HBA and go with the on-board SAS controller - even for production use?
And for the DL380, where this is no option, place each drive in a single drive
logical volum? And then, in both cases, build
Hi Stefan,
I run since 3 months a dl380e with single raid0 disks in a mirrored zfs pool -
works fine!
I had to install the cpqary3 driver for the p420i controller first.

If it were truly hot plug, then the OS should get a drive
disconnected signal, and c1t1d1 should not exist anymore. As is the case
with a USB drive or firewire.

I find, with the motherboard built-in sas controller, you usually need to
power off in order to swap a drive, and you need to devfsadm -Cv after
coming up, in order to make the new drive available.
What kind of a messed up SAS
The on-board SAS controller isn't externally facing, and not expecting
hotswap drives. Drive detection is performed by BIOS during POST.
