They are connected to a 4254 Duplex enclosure. I would like to configure the drives (11 total) into 2 partitions of 8 and 3 respectively. When I enter the ACU on the first system, I can only see 7 drives. Am I missing something or is a controller limitation?

Because by the way you described it you can see 7 drives and the enclosure is capable of 14 drives. Which is all the drives on one port.

If you have 1 controller running 1/2 the cage and another controller running the other 1/2 then you cannot create a raid set between the controllers they are independant.
