Would one expect any problems connecting a new Dell MD1200 6Gbit/sec SAS
array to a Sun X4170 using the "older" 3Gbit/sec SAS HBA from Sun? I've
just hooked one up using Solaris-10U8 (patches current as of last Friday),
and the system seems to see multipath disk devices just fine, but we also
get the occasional flurry of these messages:
scsi: [ID 107833 kern.notice] /p...@0,0/pci8086,3...@7/pci1000,3...@0 (mpt0):
mpt0: unknown event 10 received
These seem associated with these bug reports:
http://bugs.opensolaris.org/view_bug.do;jsessionid=33dcaf6a98442aafcd2f996f8f3?
bug_id=6734415
http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do;jsessionid=a0842c71104ba095
bd8ba63758d2?bug_id=6700996
Suggestions on how to shut up those notices would be welcome....
Oh yes, I forgot to say that this MD1200 is full of 2TB "SAS Nearline"
disk drives. Solaris' "raictl -l -g" tells me they are:
Vendor Product Firmware
SEAGATE ST32000444SS KS65
Documentation for the JBOD says it's only supported with Dell's PERC H800
controller, of course. The LSI docs for the various chipsets involved also
seem to indicate that you must use their 6Gbit/sec HBA's and RAID controllers,
yet elsewhere they're also touting the compatibility between their 3Gbit/sec
and 6Gbit/sec hardware, investment protection, and so on.
Any idea if the CAM-6.5 or -6.6 software can talk to the MD1200 JBOD?
There's no Dell OpenManage for Solaris yet....

Marion
