Hi,

We'd like to get SAS interface for LTO-4 drives in a new library. Haven't decided yet on the library, but most list with SCSI or FC. I see the following on Legato's Hardware Compatibility guide:

"With SAS, our main concern is the HBA and HBA driver. We are still in the early days of SAS deployment, and we prefer to err on the side of caution. Until we have built up enough confidence with SAS HBAs and drivers on the various platforms that we support, we are going to require that any SAS storage device be qualified with a specific SAS HBA, preferable one that we have already qualified
devices on."

Does anyone know what the qualified devices are?

George
