[OpenIndiana-discuss] Dell R510 SAS2 Backplane with SAS2008 (PERC H200)

[Andy Lubel]

Yeah, and you are probably exporting each disk as a raid 0, pseudo jbod
with some BBC.. I suppose that's an option for us but it
really shouldn't be that way.  The H200 can only create 2 raid disks
anyways.

Is there any other lists that may be of help?
