I know somewhere in this discussion someone mentioned you needed feature
code xxxx to support that port and you said you had it if I remember
correctly. I believe the rule is on a 4core system 'No External Disk'. So
if you have a 6 or 8core box you should be able to use that port.

Again, thanks for your feedback, Sue. Late last night I came across IBM
documentation for installing 5886 disk enclosures, including SAS cabling
instructions and other references indicating support for IBM i on Power. So
that appears to be a viable option. There were also references in ML list
archives which were helpful.

We have feature code EJ01 installed for SAS Raid configuration. Does
that help?
Yes, it does. Feature EJ01 for the POWER7 720 and 740 systems does
activate the SAS port on the back of the CEC.
