4.2 For SAS (Serial-Attached SCSI) Smart Array controllers • SATA disks are not supported when the controller is in HBA mode. • New Smart Array P700m controller installations should be on HP-UX 11i v3 March 2010 release or later. If you are considering a new installation of an HP Smart Array P700m Controller, HP recommends that you configure it on HP-UX 11i v3 March 2010 release or later. New installation of a P700m controller is not recommended on HP-UX 11i v3 releases prior to March 2010.
Corrective Action: Reconnect the cables or reinsert the disks, then reset the Smart Array controller using the sautil reset_ctlr command. After the controller is reset, ioscan correctly reports the status of the disks as CLAIMED. • Disconnected external storage enclosures are not properly detected by ioscan. If you disconnect all cables connecting a Smart Array controller to external storage enclosures, saconfig and sautil show the status of the logical drives as FAILED.
