Can anyone recommend a good HBA supported well in Solaris 11 that accepts 3TB+ SATA/SAS drives in a PCIe adapter?
I purchased an Areca 1320-i4e4 and got the drivers from Areca. I had 4 WD 640gb drives installed and part of a ZFS pool. It all worked well until I tried to upgrade the drives to 3TB drives.
I first off-lined the zfs drive:
:> zfs offline storage c4t1d0
Then yanked the drive. Inserted new drive and looked for it.
Thats when I noticed cfgadm does not see any drives attached to the areca hba. Format wouldn't see the new drive either. I went ahead and rebooted the system in case the arcsas driver needed to be reloaded.
Here are the error messages I got on boot.

Did I perhaps not configure it properly? Or can anyone tell me if it appears the arcsas driver can not handle 3TB drives?
Thanks!
