LSI 9300-16i supported?

[Tobias Oberstein]

Hi,

The FreeBSD 10.1 hardware compatibility list

https://www.freebsd.org/releases/10.1R/hardware.html

for the LSI mpr(4) driver mentions these 3 cards:

* LSI SAS 3004 (4 Port SAS)
* LSI SAS 3008 (8 Port SAS)
* LSI SAS 3108 (8 Port SAS)

It does _not_ mention the Avago (LSI) 9300-16i

http://www.lsi.com/products/host-bus-adapters/Pages/sas-9300-16i.aspx

which is quite new, and features _two_ SAS 3008 chips (Fusion MPT™ 2.5).

Is this chip supported? Any practical experience?

 From the FreeBSD source tree (not as a binary blob from LSI .. they 
mention FreeBSD support for that card, but I don't want to depend on them)?

I want to deploy _three_ of those cards to drive 48 SAS disks in a quite 
high-end server. I need to be really confident that it works, since the 
box is for a customer and costs 100k Euro.

If there is any doubt, I probably go with the LSI SAS 9201-16i

http://www.lsi.com/products/host-bus-adapters/pages/lsi-sas-9201-16i.aspx

as this seems to be well supported for quite some time. Please correct 
me if I'm wrong and should look for something else ..

Thanks a lot for any hints!
