Solaris 11 - Replacing my BR10i's with LSI9211's

Hi Guys,

I recently purchased 10x4TB drives and so im replacing 2 of the 3 IBM BR10i card's in my server with LSI9211 cards (in IT mode) which will support 4TB, the new cards have generated weird long controller ID's i havent seen before

im used to 'c11t6d0' and not something like 'c0t5000CCA369C628BFd0'
Can someone please make me feel better and tell me this is normal??? i would appreciate it, haha

One of the reasons im slightly concerned is with my BR10i's i would normally get a couple of not important illegal requests during boot and now my stats script (better version of iostat -E) doesnt show any of these for the drives connected to the new controllers.

im fairly sure im worrying about nothing but my skillz with solaris/unix are pretty lacking so would appreciate input from the more experienced ocau communty.

Cheers
