            Bug ID: 246279
           Summary: ciss driver unable to see more than 48(?) physical
                    drives per controller
           Product: Base System
           Version: 12.1-RELEASE
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: kern
          Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: pen@lysator.liu.se

If I connect an HP D6020 external SAS disk enclosure to an HP H241 (HBA mod=
e)
and then connect each drawer to each port of the H241 then the system just =
sees
the first 48 drives (and not all 70). Looking at the output from 'camcontrol
devlist' the last drive seen have "at scbus4 target 63 lun 0" and the first=
 "at
scbus4 target 16 lun 0".

If I connect each drawer into separate H241 controllers then all 70 drives =
are
visible.

According to HP documentation the H241 should handle up to 200 physical dri=
ves.

I've tried reading the ciss driver source code and I can't see any "obvious"
limits/adjustable knobs but I might be missing something....

The "target 63" number feels lika a 64-target-limit somewhere.
(The first 16 I'm guessing is reserved for logical drives (which we don't u=
se)
so I'm guessing that's why it starts numbering at 16).

(Now I want to connect a second D6020 to the server(s) in question so I can=
 use
the "use two controller cards" solution anymore)
