I recently acquired a full Dell Compellent Storage System for a project I have in mind.
I have taken the HBA card (LSI9206) from the SC8000 unit and installed it into the R620. I was hoping to be able to connect the SC200 storage array (a 'smarter' MD1200 apparently) directly to this.
I don't see the LSI firmware when booting, but I do see the card with lspci in the OS. I just can not see any drives now tho. (I'm trying to run the R620 with Core OS, but can switch out to CentOS or other if need be).
Is what I am trying to achieve possible? Is there anything else I need to do to get these drives recognised on the R620? This is my first foray into DAS and I am a little lost here.
