I am having some issues with a new (to me) Promise J630s external JBOD array. It is working, but I am not getting multipath despite having two physical connections to this external array. Here is my system:
FreeNAS- 11.3-U5
Cisco C240 M4SX - 24 x 2.5" SAS/SATA drive bays
Dual E5-2637 v3 @ 3.50GHz
256 GB ECC DRAM
2 x Intel i350 Gigabit NIC for management (using 2 ports in LACP channel)
Chelsio T580-CR dual port 40 Gigabit NIC for storage network (using 1 port)
LSI 3108 based HBA
LSI 9207-8E connected to Promise J630s external enclosure - 16 x 3.5" SAS/SATA bays
Storage pool = 2 RAIDZ2 vdevs of 8 x 3TB HITACHI HUS723030ALS640 SAS drives
Intel Optane 900P SLOG (shared device, separate partition per pool)
LSI 9300-8E connected to HP D2600 external enclosure - 12 x 3.5" SAS/SATA bays
Storage pool 2 (D2600) = 2 RAIDZ2 vdevs of 6 x 2TB 7.2k SAS drives with one spare drive (internal)
Storage pool 3 (internal bays) = 2 RAIDZ2 vdevs of 8 x 1TB 7.2k SATA drives with one spare drive
Intel Optane 900P SLOG (shared device, separate partition per pool)
Boot pool = mirrored 120G SATA SSD drives
I am having two issues, but the most important one is that I am seeing the two ses devices for the J630s, but not multipath device for the disks.
I know the 9207-8E can do multipath because it sees those when I originally had D2600 attached to it.
I may have another issue because I don't see the 2nd ses device for the D2600 when it is attached to the 9300-8E. I am trying to retire the HP arrays, so my intent is to leave that attached to the 9207 because both are 6G only. I think those drives are HGST multipath capable, but I guess I am not 100% on that either.

Code:
ses0: <Promise J630s 060=> Fixed Enclosure Services SPC-4 SCSI device ses1: <Promise J630s 060=> Fixed Enclosure Services SPC-4 SCSI device
