Kristian_Br, You are not able to connect the TL2000 behind a MD3000i. The reason behind that is because the CM in the 3000i is a RAID controller and you cannot connect the TL to a RAID Controller. The TL2000 is only supported to work when it is connected behind a 6GB SAS HBA. That SAS Out Port is only meant to connect expansion MD arrays like a second MD3000 or a MD1000. If you have any questions please feel free to let me know.
I was wondering if it is possible to connect the TL2000 to the MD3000i SAS out port. The TL 2000 has 2 LTO 3 drives with SAS ports. The MD 3000i has dual iSCSI controllers The reason for this is that I picked up a used rack. And everything should have been working, but I did not see the cables connected before it was taken down. And I do not see any other places it could have been connected. None of the servers have any external SAS ports. When I plug the TL 2000 into the MD3000i it complains about degraded SAS ports and it stays that way. The TL 2000 says its connected and OK 3/Gbit. I read somewhere that degraded port might just be because it is using 1 out of the 4 channels. Both are upgraded to newest Firmwares. So my questions would be. If supported what menu in the MDSM would it show up in if any.. If not supported what SAS card would you recommend. Thanks  Kristian
