This isn't the latest firmware. You might want to try upgrading it. While I'm not running the latest firmware either (same model controller) I'm still running a later version than you have, which appears to be the initial factory version. I've got another problem I have to solve and will be upgrading the firmware to the latest one which should end up being 6.00-13-00. The only problem I have is that the kernel will _appear_ to hang for a very long time after "Waiting 15 seconds for SCSI devices to settle". It takes about five minutes, but it does eventually continue to boot and works flawlessly after that. Oddly enough, I think that problem went away with a very recent -STABLE, though I'm not sure why since I never saw any changes made to the mly driver. Maybe it was CAM related and I just didn't see any changes go in that caught my attention. Anyway, it works better than ever now. > processor, vendor: ESG-SHV model: SCA HSBP M14 Looks like the hot-swap backplane processor (HSBP :-). Make sure the controller BIOS recognizes the hot-swap backplane and is set up to use it. You know it is recognized and configured correctly if you can pull a drive out of a redundant array and put it back in and it auto-rebuilds. You must have auto-rebuild enabled in the BIOS for that to work, but it depends on a backplane processor to tell it when a drive has been inserted. -- Chris Dillon - cdillon@wolves.k12.mo.us - cdillon@inter-linc.net FreeBSD: The fastest and most stable server OS on the planet - Available for IA32 (Intel x86) and Alpha architectures - IA64, PowerPC, UltraSPARC, and ARM architectures under development - http://www.freebsd.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
