Yes, I agree, I would have no problem with that at all.  From a

YaST is running in an unsupported configuration. I've never used that
health-check before, but as it's there, I thought it ought to be
tested :-)

I have four storage servers with two 3ware cards each - I'll let you
know how it works out.  My HP SmartARRAY controllers have never given
me any grief and I've got more than a few of those.
