3.7.4.2 Create Pass-Through Disk

A pass-through disk is not controlled by the 6Gb/s SAS RAID
controller firmware and thus cannot be a part of a volume set.
The disk is available directly to the operating system as an indi-
vidual disk. It is typically used on a system where the operating
system is on a disk not controlled by the 6Gb/s SAS RAID con-
troller firmware. The SCSI Channel/SCSI ID/SCSI LUN, Cache
Mode, and Tag Queuing must be specified to create a pass-
through disk.
