[OmniOS-discuss] LSI 9300-16i SAS and OmniOS?

[Matej Žerovnik]

We are using SAS3 drives with LSI 9300-8e and SC837E26-RJBOD1 and it’s working great for the last 4 months.

I’m not sure if it’s running SAS2 or SAS3, since I dont see those information nowhere (I checked messages and sas3ircu). It only says SAS

It is not clear if the end devices somehow detect that the chassis is certified for 6g or if they will use 12g and possibly work just fine, or encounter issues.  The signalling and cables for 6g and 12g are the same, but with 12g using a higher clocking rate.
