ESXi 4.1 and hp MSA2312sa

Anyone using this storage device with standalone HP servers SAS-attached?  I have two DL380 G6s SAS-connected to a MSA2312sa with dual HBAs and dual controllers in the MSA and VMware reports it as partial/non-redundant.  I contacted support and they believe it is a cosmetic issue with vCenter.  I would be really surprised if anyone running this configuration has never seen this before.  I also tried to get setup assistance from HP and they could not find any documentation on a recommended cabling configuration particularly for vSphere.

You can have a look here and perhaps even PM people.

Hi.

I am looking to buy the same configuration. Did you find out the reason for this problem?
Thanks

I've used the Dell similar solution (also based on LSI) and it works with no issues.
