Issue
- Unable to connect to Dell MD-3000 disk array
- When attach
Dell MD-3000disk array to aRHEL 6.2host via SAS inteface, only generic scsi devices (/dev/sg) are created but no block devices are attached - see the kernel log:

Note that the same array is discovered fine on RHEL 5.7 box:
mptsas: ioc0: attaching ssp device: fw_channel 0, fw_id 5, phy 0, sas_addr 0x5001ec94f207a404
Vendor: DELL Model: MD3000 Rev: 0735
Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 05
sdc : very big device. try to use READ CAPACITY(16).
SCSI device sdc: 5761452032 512-byte hdwr sectors (2949863 MB)
sdc: Write Protect is off
sdc: Mode Sense: 77 00 10 08
where /dev/sdc block device is created. What is the problem here? Is some kernel module missing?. Is mptsas kernel module responsible for this?
