I mean that HBA get link error. Sorry.

>A SAS initiator port shall set the initial CONNECTION RATE field to:
>a) the highest supported connection rate supported by a potential pathway as
determined during the 
>discover process (e.g., based on the logical link rates of each logical link
reported in the SMP 
>DISCOVER responses); or
Sas_ex_get_linkrate function

>b) the logical link rate of the logical phy used to transmit the OPEN
address frame.
MVSAS get value of linkrate from sas_ex_get_linkrate function(child->linkrate)

>If a SAS initiator port selected a connection rate based on discover process
information but the connection 
>request results in OPEN_REJECT (CONNECTION RATE NOT SUPPORTED), then the
discover process 
>information is no longer current and the discover process should be run
again.

Fail again.
