Dear Colleagues,
I'm considering switching from mfi to mrsas, so a couple of questions to
those of you who use mrsas.
1. I have mirrors configured in mfi (see below). After switching, shall
I continue to see and use the configured hardware RAID volumes, or will
the disks suddenly become.. well, just separate disks?
2. I think I'll lose the convenience of mfiutil. Is there anything to
manage mrsas drives/volumes/firmware from inside FreeBSD (adding arrays,
monitoring drives etc)?
My controller:
