RAID-01 (ciss) B.11.31.1003 Mass Storage Driver Release Notes

Corrective Action: Reset the Smart Array controller using the sautil reset_ctlr
command. When the controller is reset, ioscan correctly reports the status of the disks as
NO_HW.
• Controller fails when two connectors are used on the same channel.
Each channel has two connectors (one internal and one external), but only one connector
can be used per channel at any given time. If you attempt to boot the system with storage
devices connected to the internal and external connectors on the same channel, the controller
fails.
Corrective Action: Shut down and power off the system, fix the cabling issue, and power
on the system.
