DL180G6 25SFF multipath setup using LSI 9211-8i

[cfischer]

Hi,

we like to use a SE326M1 (probably DL180G6) 25bay SFF as a ZFS based storage server. We've bought an LSI 9211-8i, works well. Now, the backplain has two SAS ports, we thought we could use two LSI controllers running a multipath setup as we do that on SuperMicro Servers, but something goes wrong if both controllers access the disks. The controller init hangs (bios) and the LSI config tool can't read the SAS topology of the second controller. Are there experiences running multipath setups on HP hardware running none HP controller hardware?

Thanks

Christian
