mfi and mpt question (LSI 8300XLP and SAS1068R)

[Harald Schmalzbauer]

Dear all,

I have access to a new FujitsuSiemens Server with the LSI Controllers
mentioned in the topic (8300XLP, Zero-Channel-RAID and LSI MegaRAID
SAS1068R, 8-Channel SAS).
If I remove the 8300XLP I can access the drives by the mpt device, which
gives some errors with the 1068 card:
mpt0: <LSILogic SAS/SATA Adapter> port 0x4000-0x40ff mem

mpt0: mpt_cam_event: 0xb

Now regarding the 8300:

Is there a chance that this puppy is supported by the mfi driver?
If nobody tells me that it's unsupported I'd add the PCI id to mfi and
test it.

Best regards,
