Got an LSI Host Bus Adapter (SAS 3041E-R) which is not being recognized correctly. When I look at the hardware section in the web interface, it shows up as "SAS1064ET PCI-Express Fusion-MPT", but apparently the driver is not loading correctly. This is a bit strange as the device is supported just fine in VMware EXSi 4.x and 5.x as well as every Linux distro I have ever tried. And this adapter shows up on the HCL.
Well unfortunately, using the full version does not let me define volume groups either.
That was even after updating to the latest bios and firmware on my controller.
There does not seem to be any support for controllers based on the LSI Logic / Symbios Logic SAS1064ET PCI-Express Fusion-MPT SAS (rev 08) chip, such as my LSI SAS 3041E-R.
I can see the hardware listed on STATUS > HARDWARE.....but no driver listed below it in the drivers section. Didn't anything helpful in dmesg either.
In the DSS V6 b5458 we use the following version of mpt2sas driver:
description: LSI MPT Fusion SAS 2.0 Device Driver version: 04.00.01.00
If you have a valid premium support license, please report the problem through our user portal and we can prepare a small update with the newest mpt2sas driver for you.
