Those are the built in Intel SATA ports in RAID mode which is software RAID. It is being detected as ata disks and using ata-raid. So you can't use the LSI RAID tools. If it was detected via the amr(4) driver then you could use the LSI RAID tools. Now it is using the LSI RAID meta-data. "atacontrol" will manage this assuming Soren has the meta-data write support for their format. Doug A.
