Cisco UCS SAS 9300-8e HBA Considerations
This section contains the following topics:
• Optical Cables Not Supported for 9300-8e HBA, page C-4
• Mixing Rules, page C-4
• Cisco UCS 9300-8e Bad Drive and Predictive Failure Behavior, page C-4
• Setting the Preferred Boot Device for Cisco UCS 9300-8e, page C-5
Optical Cables Not Supported for 9300-8e HBA
The 9300-8e HBA does not support optical cables for connection to external storage (copper only).
Mixing Rules
Mixing the Cisco UCS 9300-8e HBA in the same server as the Cisco UCS 12G SAS Modular HBA
requires the following firmware levels:
• Cisco IMC/BIOS 2.0(8) or later
• Cisco UCS Manager 2.2(6) or later (for integrated servers only)
Cisco UCS 9300-8e Bad Drive and Predictive Failure Behavior
The bad drive and predictive failure behavior for the Cisco UCS SAS 9300-e HBA cards is different than
that for LSI MegaRAID cards. The list below compares behavior for these HBA cards and LSI
MegaRAID cards.
• Bad/invalid/0MB drive handling:
– MegaRAID: The bad drive is marked BAD in the GUI/CLI interfaces and the fault LED on the
drive is solid amber.
