Sun SAS/SATA RAID HBA and 3TB SATA drive support

edited Sep 7, 2012 12:12AM in Sun x86 Systems (MOSC) 3 commentsAnswered
Hello All,

I have a SG-XPCIESAS-R-INT-Z 3Gb/s SAS/SATA RAID HBA and would like to run 3TB SATA drives on it. This HBA is a re-badged Adaptec 5805 which according to Adaptec does support 3TB drives using firmware/BIOS version 5.2.0 Build 17911 (or later).

The current Sun/Intel firmware/BIOS is version 5.2.0 Build 17757 (released  22/04/2011) which, as I have discovered, does not seem to like the 3TB SATA drives as it fails with the speed negotiation.

I'm booting into a CentOS install to run the Storage Manager as this system runs ESXi and the Storage Manager is what is showing the failure on the speed negotiation.

Howdy, Stranger!
