“Bug observed with mrsas”, I don’t think the controller in those are supported by mfi but that I can find out ofc.

Its been like that since these servers was moved from VMware to FreeBSD/bhyve back I April.

I do have a few R630’s lying aound here in the lab with the same controller, I could rig up one of those for experiments if need be...
