Notes:
The Sun Blade T6320 and T6340 server modules are supported for use in a SAS-2 environment with a SAS-2 REM, but are limited to a maximum 3 Gb/s data transfer speed.
The Sun Storage 6Gb SAS REMs include software and firmware. You should always use the latest versions. To download the latest updates for these REMs, go to the LSI Support site.
The Sun Storage 6Gb SAS REM HBA (SGX-SAS6-REM-Z) in a Sun Blade X6270 M2 server module is only supported for use with a Sun Blade Storage Module M2 if the storage module firmware is 5.3.6.0 or later. The minimum firmware for the storage module in this configuration is included in Sun Blade Storage Module M2 software release 1.0.1.
As of the release of this document, there is no support for using the external SAS-2 connectors of a SAS-2 NEM (such as the Sun Blade 6000 Virtualized Multi-Fabric 10GbE M2 NEM) to add external storage. Additional external storage may be added by installing a PCIe ExpressModule (EM) HBA and connecting external storage devices to it. The external storage is then controlled by the server module and its PCIe EM, and is not part of the chassis SAS-2 domain.
The Sun Blade 6000 Ethernet Switched NEM 24p 10GbE is only supported for use with a Sun Blade Storage M2 if NEM software release 1.1 or later is installed.
