LSI 9305-16e multipathing

[Bradley Hieber]

Wondering if anyone has one of these cards and knows if it supports multipathing. Broadcom documents says it has two 3008 controllers on the card. I only have one slot on my motherboard free and this would make and easy purchase if I could get multipathing on it to a dual expander chassis.

Yes, according to the following document, the LSI 9305-16e does support multi-pathing;

SAS 9305-16e PCI Express to 12Gb/s SAS Host Bus Adapter

For higher redundancy, you probably want to use 1 x4 connector from each SAS core, (see document).

We have one of these attached to a 102 disk JBOD and yes, it does support multipathing.
