Sun Storage 6 Gb SAS PCIe HBA, Internal is Not Displayed in the BIOS Setup Utility
Non-Alphabetical Characters Are Displayed in RAID Volume Names
There Is No FCode Utility Command for Creating a RAID 10 Volume
Bug 15803027
Issue: If you have a Sun Storage 6 Gb SAS PCIe HBA, Internal and a Sun Storage 6 Gb SAS PCIe HBA, External installed in a Sun Server X2-4 system, the Sun Storage 6 Gb SAS PCIe HBA, Internal might not be displayed in the BIOS Setup utility.
Workaround: The Sun Storage 6 Gb SAS PCIe HBA, Internal and Sun Storage 6 Gb SAS PCIe HBA, External must have the same level of firmware installed. If you encounter this issue, upgrade the firmware on the HBAs to be the latest firmware version. You can now see both HBAs in the BIOS Setup utility.
Bug 15769403
Issue: After removing and reinserting a hard drive that is part of a RAID-1 virtual drive configuration on the HBA, the hard drive is no longer displayed in the BIOS Setup utility.
Workaround: None. This is expected behaviour. To view the hard drive after reinsertion, reboot the system and enter the BIOS Setup utility. You can now view the hard drive.
Bug 15597943
Issue: In the LSI BIOS Configuration utility, non-alphabetical characters are occasionally displayed in the volume names of RAID volumes. This occurs intermittently; subsequent reboots might cause the characters to go away, resulting in the correct volume names being displayed, or might cause the garbled characters to continue to be displayed. This is a cosmetic issue only. The volumes are fully functional and usable.
Workaround: You can identify each volume in the LSI BIOS Configuration utility by reviewing the volume number or the constituent disks of the volume.
Bug 15625274
Issue: There are no SAS2IRCU utility Help instructions on how to delete a RAID volume through the SAS2IRCU utility.
Workaround: For information about how to delete a specific RAID volume using the SAS2IRCU utility, see the note in of To Complete the Installation.
Bug 15635981
Issue: The supported RAID types for this HBA are 0, 1, and 10. However, there is no FCode command (in the SPARC Open Boot Prom (OBP) environment) that enables you to create a RAID 10 volume. Instead, there is a command that lets you create a RAID 1E volume (create-raid1e-volume command). When you use this command to create a volume, the SAS2IRCU utility displays this volume as a RAID 10 volume.
Workaround: To create a RAID 10 volume through the FCode utility, use the create-raid1e-volume command.
