hello. I've got a J4200 connected to a Sun StorageTek SAS RAID HBA, and am having a couple of issues. as per the documentation, I've created logical drives for each disk in the J4200 using arcconf(1m), and put these volumes in a ZFS pool.
this works OK, but when a disk fails, it's a real nuisance: you can't just replace the disk physically and let ZFS do its thing. you need to run arcconf to delete the failed logical drive, then create a new logical drive (juggling sizes, because MAX isn't max, but ~10 KiB shy(!)), and *then* ZFS can step in. furthermore, I'm unable to upgrade the firmware of my disks. I'm not sure this is related, but "fwflash -l ALL" is empty, and my theory is that this is due to the logical drive layer not being flashable. : [r...@dump ~]; sscs list -a 0826QCJ038 firmware Analyzing array 0826QCJ038,(dump.linpro.no),0826qcj038 Disk: Some FRUs not at baseline.
