This avoids applying 8 nasty patches successively. ftp://ftp.tux.org/roudier/drivers/freebsd/experimental/SYM-0.9.0-19991024.tar.gz ftp://ftp.tux.org/roudier/drivers/freebsd/experimental/README.sym (modulo spelling errors :-) ) Status: (switched back to EXPERIMENTAL due to some heavy changes) EXPERIMENTAL This driver is currently developped under the following O/S: FreeBSD 4.0 SNAPSHOT July 5th 1999 Starting with version 0.9.0, the driver contains conditionnal code for using pre-4.0 BUS stuff for PCI. I have successfully tested driver version 0.9.0 under: FreeBSD 3.2 RELEASE Given that the old bus stuff is still supported under FreeBSD, the driver should also compile and work just fine under FreeBSD 3.3 RELEASE. Latest revision: sym-0.9.0-19991024 * SYM-0.8.0-19991016 (diff file PATCH-SYM-0.8.0-19991016) Heavy rewrite/rewamping of the error handling code in order to conform to FreeBSD-CAM expectation of commands having to be requeued and device queue to be freezed on any kind of error. Driver status switched back to EXPERIMENTAL due to these changes. Warn user about targets that are not flagged for SCAN AT BOOT in the NVRAM, since the driver will not allow the corresponding devices to be discovered by XPT. And numerous minor changes. * SYM-0.9.0-19991024 (Tar file SYM-0.9.0-19991024.tar.gz) Add support for previous PCI BUS stuff, for the driver to be useable under FreeBSD 3.X RELEASES. The source is #ifdefed for using the old PCI BUS code under __FreeBSD_version < 400000 and the new one otherwise. Tested under RELENG_3_2_0_RELEASE, but should also be just fine for 3.3. Other changes against version 0.8.0 are only minor buglet fixes. October 24 1999.

Right, it looks like the NCR driver doesn't honor the CAM_DIS_DISCONNECT flag. The Adaptec driver does, FWIW. > Is there any method of disabling disconnects with the NCR driver? Have you tried using camcontrol(8) to disable disconnects? e.g.: camcontrol negotiate da0 -v -D disable I think that should work with the NCR driver. > What's the difference between CAM_DIS_AUTODISC and CAM_DIS_DISCONNECT? (Sorry if > that's a stupid question, I'm not very familier with low-level SCSI). I think CAM_DIS_AUTODISC is for disabling disconnects in target mode, if I read the CAM spec right.

Even for a single-user machine, I'm not certain I'd take a significant hit to multitasking (multiple-accessor) disk performance to get a 5% improvement to pure sequential IO. Now, there may be issues with the disksort algorithm that is loosing the benefits of Tags for multi-threaded IO as well; remember that most disksort algorithms were originally designed with cacheless (and single-threaded) drives in mind. Have there been any good ACM/etc papers on disksort and multi-threaded IO systems in the last few years? -- Randell Jesup, Worldgate Communications, ex-Scala, ex-Amiga OS team ('88-94) rjesup@wgate.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-scsi" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-scsi Mon Oct 25 9:45:11 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-scsi@freebsd.org Received: from dingo.cdrom.com (castles526.castles.com [208.214.165.90]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 4216014D90 for ; Mon, 25 Oct 1999 09:45:08 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from mike@dingo.cdrom.com) Received: from dingo.cdrom.com (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by dingo.cdrom.com (8.9.3/8.8.8) with ESMTP id JAA19498; Mon, 25 Oct 1999 09:36:30 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from mike@dingo.cdrom.com) Message-Id: <199910251636.JAA19498@dingo.cdrom.com> X-Mailer: exmh version 2.0.2 2/24/98 To: "cucu" Cc: "Mike Smith" , "Michael Haba" , freebsd-scsi@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: FreeBSD 3.3.0 support for Compaq SMART-2/P array controller In-reply-to: Your message of "Mon, 25 Oct 1999 09:36:29 CDT."

Those are probably the best references available. Other than that, there are a number of folks who have done CAM drivers, and I'm sure they would be willing to give you some advice. (Justin Gibbs, Matt Jacob, Warner Losh, Nicolas Souchu, Nick Hibma, Gerard Roudier and Luoqi Chen have all done CAM HBA drivers, so there's no shortage of people with some knowledge on the subject.) If you're willing to document your process, I'm sure that would be helpful to other folks. It might fit well in the FreeBSD handbook. Also, what driver are you going to port? It might be a good idea to tell someone about it so we can avoid any duplicate efforts.

Before you do any work on this, talk to Simon Shapiro . I know at one point he was working on a driver for the newer DPT cards, but I can't remember what the status is on it.

Yeah; Simon Shapiro is working on doing it properly. The DPT V is an I2O card. Having it pretend to be a SCSI device is just about the most difficult way that you could think of to support it.

No driver has been forthcoming, even for testing purposes. Mark Salyzyn's driver has been working flawlessly for me on several 2.2.8 boxes, but I need them working on 3.x soonish. If that requires me porting the 2.2.8 driver, then I'll do so. I don't necessarily see anything wrong with duplicate efforts, but I can see problems in deciding which driver should be merged into the repository.

I have a slightly newer version (1.06, the version on the ftp site is 1.05) that Erich Chen sent me in early September, but I haven't had a chance to do much with it. In any case, I'd suggest that you first contact Erich Chen , as he is likely to have the latest version of their driver for the TRM-S1040 chip that's on their 395 and 315 boards. If that fails, I can just give you a copy of the driver he sent me. Tekram is to be commended for putting forth the effort to support FreeBSD. They have actually written three different FreeBSD/CAM drivers -- one for their AMD 53c974 boards (the amd driver in the tree is based on that driver), one for their NCR/Symbios boards, and now one for their own SCSI chips.

Well, feel free to work on it. If it works okay, it may well go in the tree. FreeBSD could certainly use support for those boards, since people query the lists about them frequently. Keep in mind that once Simon's I2O code shows up, we may drop your driver in favor of a native I2O driver for those boards. I'm sure Justin will be glad to answer questions about the CAM SIM layer if you need help porting the driver. It might be helpful for you to just post questions to the -scsi list when you have them, that way a number of people will get a shot at answering.

One thing to keep in mind, though, is that either the chip doesn't have a SCSI phase engine, or the driver isn't written to take advantage of it. It does all of its own phase transitions, like the AMD 53c974 and Adaptec 6360 drivers. (They have to.) In any case, their TRM-S1040 chip only does ultra-wide, not Ultra 2. So if you want to do Ultra 2 with a Tekram board, you'll need to get the DC-390U2, and I would recommend using Gerard's sym driver instead of the stock NCR driver.

I believe that DPT has some interim driver available, but I haven't seen a lot of enthusiasm for it. Check out their web site. There's no way you can use a Linux driver on FreeBSD (well, you can take the sources and adapt them, but that's a lot of work).

I'm glad to know it works.

There are a couple of reasons: - lack of hardware - time - copyright on one of the drivers The driver for their Ultra-Wide SCSI cards consists of three files. One has a standard BSD-style copyright on it. One has a proprietary copyright on it. The last one has no copyright. We cannot integrate that driver into the tree without getting those two files fixed. Their Ultra 2 driver, on the other hand, has a BSD-style copyright on both files. The first two problems will hopefully be solved by Thomas. As for the last one, I think he is going to try to contact Initio about it. > From: Thomas Graichen > Subject: initio scsi controller > Date: Sun, 24 Oct 1999 11:59:55 +0200 (CEST) > Message-ID: > > > just to let you know (and to avoid any double efforts) - i am currently > > trying to integrate the initio scsi driver from initio into FreeBSD in > > a way that it can be committed - so if anybody else is doing the same > > please contact me - i will post the status here Ken -- Kenneth Merry ken@kdm.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-scsi" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-scsi Sat Oct 30 19:19:36 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-scsi@freebsd.org Received: from nomis.simon-shapiro.org (nomis.simon-shapiro.org [209.86.126.163]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with SMTP id BBAAA14DE1 for ; Sat, 30 Oct 1999 19:19:30 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from shimon@simon-shapiro.org) Received: (qmail 99647 invoked from network); 31 Oct 1999 02:19:29 -0000 Received: from localhost.simon-shapiro.org (HELO simon-shapiro.org) (127.0.0.1) by localhost.simon-shapiro.org with SMTP; 31 Oct 1999 02:19:29 -0000 Message-ID: <381BA731.E74E4C5F@simon-shapiro.org> Date: Sat, 30 Oct 1999 22:19:29 -0400 From: Simon Shapiro Organization: Simon's Garage X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.6 [en] (X11; I; FreeBSD 3.3-STABLE i386) X-Accept-Language: en MIME-Version: 1.0 To: Greg Lehey Cc: Tom , The Hermit Hacker , freebsd-scsi@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: DPT Controller options ... one question References: <19991008163316.E78191@freebie.lemis.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset= Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-scsi@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Greg Lehey wrote: > > On Thursday, 7 October 1999 at 19:39:50 -0700, Tom wrote: > > > > On Fri, 8 Oct 1999, The Hermit Hacker wrote: > > > >> > >> Okay, thanks... > >> > >> If there are cache's on the DPT controllers, does the OS make use of > >> that, or is it automagic and transparent to the OS?

So far nobody has been overwhelmed by the > performance of any of them. I have replied to many on this issue and guess it is time to pull the cat out of the bag. Let's enumerate a bit: * On nomis, I am getting about 5-6MB/Sec WRITE and about 12MB/Sec read on RAID-5. RAID-0 gets about 18 and 28. Poor performance? Perhaps. * I am getting many reports of about 1.3MB/Sec RAID-5 WRITE perfromance. * At work, we confirmed about 3MB/Sec. What's the story? I created the RAID arrays using very old formware and very old DPTMGR. None of these is available. Most newer reports are on much newer formware/DPTMGR. The old DPTMGR used to stripe RAID-5 arrays in the order you ``clicked'' on the devices. Later versions ``improved'' on that and now order the stripes for you. Order how? Bus order first. This means that if you striped your array across busses, you now get them unstriped. The perfromance penalty can range from 1/4 to 1/2 speed. Other considerations: What type of disks? What type of cabling? What type of disk shelves? It is NOT uncommon to see a setup where the SCSI bus, or a particular device retries 20-50% of the transafers or resets devices and busses every second. While you see these most dramatically with other HAs, the DPT masks it all. I use only differential controllers, with either StorageWorks or EuroLogic shelves, and only server class disks, formatted to 528 bytes/sector, and the cache in the cards is only DPT supplied ECC memory. This takes care of most (if not all) errors and retransmissions. Testing Method: If you run Bonnie as a benchmark, or some dd script, you are setting yourself for disappointment; Both are sequential tests for the UFS, and not random I/O tests, even if they say so. These controllers are designed to do random access work, not vi-make type. BTW, If you have CPU cycles available on your machine, consider vinum. Greg has been doing some fantastic work there. You need to consider crash behavior and recovery, unless Greg already did that. Exit Note; DPT consider these EOL (nor AOL :-) and plans no further development on these controllers. As I said elsewhere, the new cards are ``a bit'' faster and an alpha-level driver is coming RSN. > Greg > -- > See complete headers for address, home page and phone numbers > finger grog@lemis.com for PGP public key > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-scsi" in the body of the message -- Sincerely Yours, Shimon@Simon-Shapiro.ORG 404.664.6401 Simon Shapiro Unwritten code has no bugs and executes at twice the speed of mouth To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-scsi" in the body of the message
