[OmniOS-discuss] OmniOS backup box hanging regularly

[Carl Brunning]

Hay just so you know this backplane is not a expander but direct connection
So sata should be fine

SATA disks attached to a SAS expander (this is the SAS846TQ, an expander, right?) are known to be a dangerous deployment.  SATA doesn't have the reporting capabilities SAS does, and many SAS expanders don't relay SATA well enough.

We do not support paying customers who deploy like this.

FYI,
Dan
