Hi Brad,

FCA2214 should run firmware 1.45 for hosts other than Windows. Did you
notice ispfw(4) and isp(4)? They are talking about a different kind of
firmware for the HBA. Maybe you should rebuild your kernel with

   device isp
   # For one or more SCSI busses:
   device scbus0
   device ispfw

to use the FreeBSD provided firmware.

Please connect via serial line to the MSA1000 controller. Enter the
command show TECH_SUPPORT. You can also connect the MSA1000 serial cable
to the MSA20 serial port and activate the debugging output by pressing
the TAB key. This would be only helpfull, if we know that on of the
MSA20 boxes got a problem.

Page 50 show how to configure a connection profile. You need to set it
to "Solaris".
CLI> ADD CONNECTION ABC WWPN=12345678-12345678 PROFILE=SOLARIS

Why do you use 3 I/O Modules in the MSA1500cs? Which MSAx0 is attached
to which I/O module and to which port? Please check that each MSA30 is
connected to the SCSI port on the I/O module and MSA20 to a SATA capable
port.
By the way, its not recommended to spread arrays across different boxes.
If one box fail, more than an array will be down.

ACU-XE or ACU is a web-based application which can be used to configure
the array. You can only launch it by booting up the MSA1500cs support
CD, cause it is not available on FreeBSD.

Which version of FreeBSD you are running? (uname -a)

Regards,
Sebastian
