RAID-01 (ciss) B.11.31.0903 Mass Storage Driver Release Notes, Edition 3 (September 2009)

The status of a SAS SES device is always FAILED. The FAILED status does not indicate that
the enclosure is not functioning. It means that it is not a DISK device.
Corrective Action: None. You can continue to use the SAS storage enclosures. You can also
use sautil to download enclosure firmware when needed.
