Full Discussion: Power machine 720 SAS disk

from the hardware itself, you cannot see the disks - you can only see the controllers, not what is attached to them.

As part of the SMS menu you can see the disks and sizes if you query the controllers - or when you install AIX as you have to select a suitable disks for the installation - with location code.

If you have AIX already installed, run these commands.

to find your SAS disks, run
Code:
lsdev -Cc disk | grep -i sas

to figure out the disk size of said disks use
Code:
getconf DISK_SIZE /dev/<hdisk>

NAME

       mega_sas - SCSI HBA driver for LSI MegaRAID SAS controller

DESCRIPTION

       The mega_sas MegaRAID controller host bus adapter driver  is a  SCSA-compliant  nexus  driver that supports the Dell PERC 5/E, 5/i, 6/E and
       6/i RAID controllers, the IBM ServeRAID-MR10k SAS/SATA  controller and  the  LSI  MegaRAID  SAS/SATA  8308ELP,  8344ELP,  84016E,  8408ELP,
       8480ELP, 8704ELP, 8704EM2, 8708ELP, 8708EM2, 8880EM2 and 8888ELP series of controllers.

       Supported  RAID	features  include RAID levels 0, 1, 5, and 6, RAID spans 10, 50 and 60, online capacity expansion (OCE), online RAID level
       migration (RLM), auto resume after loss of  system power during arrays, array rebuild or reconstruction (RLM) and configurable stripe  size
       up  to  1MB. Additional supported RAID features include check consistency for background data integrity, patrol read for media scanning and
       repairing, 64 logical drive support, up to 64TB LUN support, automatic rebuild and global and dedicated hot spare support.

CONFIGURATION

       The mega_sas.conf file contains no user configurable parameters. Please configure your hardware through the related  BIOS  utility  or  the
       MegaCli	configuration  utility.  If  you  want to install to a drive attached to a mega_sas HBA, you should create the virtual drive first
       from the BIOS before running the Solaris install. You can obtain the MegaCli utility from the LSI website.

       The mega_sas device can support up to  64 virtual disks. Note that BIOS numbers the virtual disks as 1 through 64, however in  the  Solaris
       operating  environment virtual disks are numbered from 0 to 63.	Also note that SAS and SATA drives cannot be configured into the same vir-
       tual disk.

KNOWN PROBLEMS AND LIMITATIONS

       The mega_sas driver does not support the LSI MegaRAID SAS 8204ELP, 8204XLP, 8208ELP, and 8208XLP controllers.
