dell-ucs-61 SAS controller

[Louis DeLosSantos]

Hey guys,

I'm planning to build an iSCSI SAN using freenas and a extra dell server I have. There's 4tb's of SAS storage there - and a SAS controller: model dell-ucs-61. Now i'm not too update-to-date on the storage aspect of computing, and the hardware that is involved but I would assume that FreeNAS is going to need a driver to interface with that PCI controller, does this driver exist? Am I going to have trouble getting this to work?

Thanks!

I installed a SAS 6/i controller in my R710 and got it to work just fine, though I reflashed it.

Okay awesome, I'm assuming freebsd has a generic driver for most SAS controllers.

Thanks!
