I know the above mentioned kit (2530) is new, but has anybody tried a

prefered HBA I suppose)
Did it work correctly?
Yes, it was tested as part of our project to add support to
mpt for MPxIO. The zfs test suite was one of the required
tests in our suite.
Yes, it worked correctly.

Can someone confirm it (that connecting 2530 expansion tray/JBOD
directly to Solaris x86 using SAS cards + MPxIO works)?
Hi all,
sorry for the late response (buying a house turns out
to be a stressful thing!)
Yes, my team's test plan did include ST2530 array attached
to SAS hba.
As far as I understand it, I do not think that a plain
jbod version of the ST2530 is supported. I believe that
a jbod attached to the ST2540 (fc-connected) is supported.
Louwtjie - have you tried a ST2530 as a jbod and found it
lacking? If so, please let me know the details directly.
cheers,
James C. McPherson
