Lsi sas 3442x

[leonvski]

Good morning for all!

I'm trying to connect a IBM DS3200 Storage with 12 sas hard disks drives (300Gb) by fibre channel using lsi hba sas 3442x. But, didn't work!

I would like to know if lsi sas 3442x supports 12 HDDs using IBM ds3200 ?

Thanks!

Have you tried consulting the manual of your controller?

 

[leonvski]

Yes

I read all documentation for LSI and IBM and I contacted them yesterday. It seems there is incompatibility between LSI 3442x and IBM x3400 Server. I'm waiting IBM contact me.

Thanks for the support

Ibm contact me...

Ibm said that Lsi 3442x isn't aproved on her hardware.

It doesn't work!

you are trying to connect a SAS controller to Fiber channel. you want either an Emulex or Qlogic FC HBA. IMO, go Qlogic
