Let me give that a try and ill get back to you. I will follow the

I'm betting there is an expander, it looks fancy and some enclosure device

If you've only got 2 ports on the LSI card for 12 drives, then an expander

So yeah an expander aka backplane in play here. What next? I really don't want
to abandon the effort to hopefully use the best distribution available for our

Yep just an r510 with an h200 and 10x 2tb unraided/ 2x raided internal 146gb

I have a feeling that my culprit here could be the disks: ST2000NM0001.
But its strange because again, everything works just fine in Solaris 10,
but in OI/Sol11 I get the errors.
I have tried muddling with
stmsboot -d

Yeah, and you are probably exporting each disk as a raid 0, pseudo jbod

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?

I dont think its the controller card so much as I think its something to do
with the disks/backplane/power management even. It works fine if I create
raid volumes. if you wanted to be similar to Rich, you could just do a

Im sorry you got that idea, I totally agree with you.. But I came across this
oracle Solaris 11 document that stated that expanders were not supported

I've found the ZFS discuss list a good source for people with a wide

Backplane drivers should be irrelevant. The expander should speak a common
language. Not sure how to tap into things to confirm. I have tried lsi latest
IR and IT firmwares with same results under OI and sol11.

I'm guessing it has to be the drives, because
A) I don't think the SAS expander portions of the SAS protocol are optional
B) I have tried some extremely convoluted SAS expander configurations
with OI and had them run "fine"*.
I'd finger LSI as making any SAS things for Dell by default, as I know

1) Last I heard, Dell EoL'd Solaris support for any but custom support

2) Dell reverted the non-Dell lockout on their card firmwares after

Hat to go with h700. Works flawlessly. Had to make single drive raid 0 then
create pool. I tried lsi and dell IT firmware to no avail so I assume it's the
drives also since hooking any sata drive up did indeed work, just something
about the sas drives (not really sas but they are called that).

Should do SATA 3 - I didn't think that SATA 3 speed for STP was an
