SR1500 + 5000PAL + SAS backplane - no RAID support

Event 0x16 just means that the card is probing for devices attached to
the PHY's 
In your case 0x12 means a device have been seen on a PHY

P.S. If you get time and want to do me a favor, configure 2 drives on
the controller in a RAID-1 configuration.
Then do a disk test on the RAID-1 volume, say with iozone or any other
method, and tell me your performance.

I get slow RAID-1 performance, still cannot figure this out, ~5
Mbytse/sec instead of ~ 30 Mbytes/sec with no volume.
With NCQ enabled it goes up to 15, but it' still not 30.

I can get faster RAID-1 performance by implementing this in software
doing parallel writes.

Subject: SR1500 + 5000PAL + SAS backplane - no RAID support

Hello

Sorry for bad English

Dose anybody play with  SR1500 + 5000PAL + SAS backplane ?

In system BIOS I set
SATA and PATA controller - Disable {it is controllers on motherboard
5000PAL}

Mass storage controllers menu
     SAS controller - Enable {it is controller on backplane}
     SAS configure as SW RAID - Enable

RAID was build in controller's BIOS (CTRL+E during boot).

But in FreeBSD I have separated devices, no raid, and no way to build it
in FreeBSD

Not mfi, not iir helped.
Which driver must be used?
Or FreeBSD just not supported  LSISAS1054E with integrated RAID ?
(http://www.lsi.com/storage_home/products_home/standard_product_ics/sas_
ics/lsisas1064e/index.html)

Also what about
mpt0: mpt_cam_event: 0x16
mpt0: Unhandled Event Notify Frame. Event 0x16 (ACK not required).
Is it danger on production server?

Thank you
