| === Hardware Configuration ===
|
| Backplane:
| 1x6 Backplane for 3.5-inch Hard Drives [Included in Price]
|
| SAS RAID Contoller:
| PERC6i SAS RAID Controller, 2x4 Connectors, Int, PCIe, 256MB Cache, x6
Back
|
| Hard Drive Configuration:
| Integrated SAS/SATA RAID 5, PERC 6/i Integrated
|
| Hard Drive:
| Five (5) 146GB 15K RPM Serial-Attach SCSI 3Gbps 3.5-in HotPlug Hard Drive
I *think* that PERC 6/i would appear as "LSI MegaSAS 1078" rather than
"Dell PERC 6/i" because of the following catch-all ID quirk:
{0x1000, 0x0060, 0xffff, 0xffff, MFI_FLAGS_1078, "LSI MegaSAS 1078"},
Later FreeBSD versions would identify it as "PERC 6":
{0x1000, 0x0060, 0x1028, 0xffff, MFI_FLAGS_1078, "Dell PERC 6"},
Therefore this should work just fine (out-of-the-box) on 7.0-R except it
gave different names...
Cheers,
