Hello there

I have RAID controller that looks like a MegaRAID Express 200 (series
466) with Dell's BIOS, and a FreeBSD 3.4-RELEASE.   

I couldn't find any 'amr*' on '/sys/i386/conf/LINT' or
'/sys/i386/conf/GENERIC'.

Could you please tell me (or point out) where's the driver and
how to install it?

I've taken the CAM patches that have been floating around the nomads
list and also written a pccard attachment for the aic driver.  The
patches can be found at
	http://www.freebsd.org/~imp/aic-patch

They appear to work for me, but I've not stress tested them beyond
card insertion/extraction.  I'll grab a scsi device and do more
testing, but nonetheless am fairly confident that these will work
fairly well.

You'll also need to add aic to the database of cards in
/etc/pccard.conf.

card "Adaptec, Inc." "APA-1460 SCSI Host Adapter"
	config 0x9 "aic0" ?
is what I'm using.

Please let me know what you think....  Especially the cam parts of the
patch.

Warner

I apologize for what may be a fairly silly question: Is there any
clean way to attach a 68-pin drive to an 80-pin SCA backplane?

My group is purchasing a server-class box which comes with an U2
hot-pluggable backplane with 80-pin SCA connectors.  We are hoping
to reuse some existing 68-pin U2 cheetahs from another machine.

I have looked for 68-80 pin converters for a while & all I can find
are adapters which allow you to attach an 80-pin SCA drive to a 68-pin 
cable.  I have not found any method for attaching a 68-pin drive to an 
80-pin SCA backplane.  Does such a best exist?

Thanks,

Drew

I'd try http://www.amp.com to get a part no, if it exists, and then search
around for someone who'll sell it. I'd also check Kingston- the folks who
make slide rail carriers may have this.

I'd doubt that this is a great idea because the whole point of SCA is it
combines signal power and mounting in one deal- to go form SCA, you'll
have to come out with both the MOLEX +5/+12 connector, the 68 pin cable
connector, and it won't necessarily have the right mounting and any length
of 68 pin longer than 50mm is gonna add signal noise.

Will these patches work with -stable or -current?

Current yes.  Stable maybe.  There is already a stable version in PAO
that would be easy to bring over.  That's where, indirectly, I got the 
cam part of the patches from.

OK, I haven't been able to find any connectors & your argument against
doing it even if it were possible sounds valid.  I'll see if I can get
the powers that be to purchase new drives too.

Thanks for the help,

Well, if you look here:

http://www.scsi-cables.com/line/scaadapt.htm

They have adapters that go from 68-pin wide to a 80-pin SCA backplane.
Here's the description:

"Adapter assembly used to attach a "normal" 68-pin WIDE drive to an SCA
80-pin back plane, converting the 68-pin SCSI I/O, drive ID headers, and
power to the SCA 80-pin adapter, which plugs directly onto the SCA
backplane. Ideal for using normally configured WIDE drives onto an SCA
host system. Specify length. (-XX)."

Of course I have no idea how well it would work.  I've got a couple of SCA
drives with adapters to go to 68-pin + power, but I haven't ever done the
reverse.

To add to the grief: you loose any 'topological' SCSI IDs. Meaning that SCA
sets it's SCSI ID based on the slot of the backplane. One could invent
wiring to do this right but I've never seen such an adapter.

Stubs on the signal lines are indeed also a bad idea.

Hi,
after over one year of silence I'm very pleased to listen the sound of
my Jaz-drive aside the notebook.
Thanks to all who made this happen!
Esp. Luoqi for camifying the driver, Warner for his work on the pccard front
and the Nomads for getting the two worlds together initially.

The aic-patch from warner applyed and compiled smoothly.

The APA-1640 attaches as:
pccard: card inserted, slot 1
aic0: <Adaptec 6260/6360 SCSI controller> at port 0x340-0x35f irq 3 slot 1 on
pccard1
aic0: aic6360, dma, disconnection, parity check
               ^^^?

I had to issue a 'camcontrol rescan 0' to finaly get:
da0 at aic0 bus 0 target 4 lun 0
da0: <iomega jaz 2GB E.17> Removable Direct Access SCSI-2 device
da0: 5.000MB/s transfers (5.000MHz, offset 8)
da0: 1911MB (3915600 512 byte sectors: 64H 32S/T 1911C)

So far it works error-free and fast(-ter than before) 
 (1.3MB accordingly to iozone)

It even survives multiple 'pccardc power 1 0' followed by 'pccardc power 1 1':
#pccardc power 1 0
(da0:aic0:0:4:0): lost device
(da0:aic0:0:4:0): removing device entry
pccard: card removed, slot 1
#pccardc power 1 1
pccard: card inserted, slot 1
aic0: <Adaptec 6260/6360 SCSI controller> at port 0x340-0x35f irq 3 slot 1 on pccard1
aic0: aic6360, dma, disconnection, parity check
da0 at aic0 bus 0 target 4 lun 0
da0: <iomega jaz 2GB E.17> Removable Direct Access SCSI-2 device
da0: 5.000MB/s transfers (5.000MHz, offset 8)
da0: 1911MB (3915600 512 byte sectors: 64H 32S/T 1911C)

Again congrats and a big thank-you for the great effords!

Bye!

I don't setup drq at all in the pccard case.  I'll check into this
before committing and see what's up.

Justin has also sent me some better patches for the cam layer which
get tested tonight.

I had been having some trouble on the SCSI chain on a small server. I
finally isolated one of the HDDs (after swapping SCSI cards, changing
the cables, checking connections and terminators). I thought the drive
was "fixed" by mapping out some bad sectors once I ran diagnostics on
the drive from BIOS on the SCSI card. But after two days of adequate
performance from the drive I got,

Jan 13 21:40:47 backmail /kernel: (da4:aha0:0:6:0): Invalidating pack
Jan 13 21:40:48 backmail /kernel: (da4:aha0:0:6:0): Invalidating pack
Jan 13 21:40:48 backmail /kernel: (da4:aha0:0:6:0): Synchronize cache failed, status == 0x4a, scsi status == 0x0

Then when I tried to access the drive a while later,

# /sbin/disklabel -r da4
Jan 13 22:19:18 backmail /kernel: (da4:aha0:0:6:0): CCB 0xc26f0284 - timed out
Jan 13 22:19:18 backmail /kernel: aha0: ahadone - Attempt to free non-active ACCB 0xc26f0564

And now it's just,

# /sbin/disklabel -r da4
disklabel: /dev/rda4c: Device not configured

Is this disk a total loss? And do those messages say for sure that my
problems are on this disk (the earlier problems would seem to start
with any of the devices on the chain, HDDs and CDROMs which is why I
first suspected the card and then connections)?

Thanks for any help or pointers to some introductory docs on how to
read those types of messages.

The cam status indicates that a selection timeout occurred during our
attempt to synchronize the cache.  My guess that repeated selection
timeouts caused the invalidating pack messages.  Why the device is
unresponsive, I don't know, but the system can't do anything to recover
a device that won't talk on the bus.

No, Ken, that's, err, umm, not quite right.

If you have Windows troubles, definitely talk to us, but only for us to
help transition you to using an platform for adults (FreeBSD). We can't
help you fix Microsoft wankage (well, we could, but to paraphrase
Bartleby the Scrivener, "We'd prefer not to")....

This is not an NT organization.  Information about us is at
http://www.freebsd.org - but if you are looking for Windows drivers, look
elsewhere.

Its not terribly unwise to backup one's NT stuff before wiping it to 
install FreeBSD. Let's hope that's what Kim is thinking.

The Archive Python is supported by FreeBSD without doing anything 
special:

sa0 at ahc0 bus 0 target 5 lun 0
sa0: <ARCHIVE Python 28388-XXX 4.CM> Removable Sequential Access SCSI-2 device 
sa0: 5.000MB/s transfers (5.000MHz, offset 15)

In addition to this not being the right place for Microsoft questions, 
many of us don't care for the Microsoft Outlook Express default "Rich 
Text" email format.

As for a driver for your DAT tape drive, if it didn't come on your NT
CDROM (if you install NT on the machine which has this tape drive then
it will install a driver, as for installing after the fact, I've done
it, I don't know what I did. Just click on everything.), then try using
FDISK.EXE. That's the Universal Windows Device Driver, Password Recovery
Utility, sure-fire winning Lotto number picker, sure-fire cure for DLL
Hell, and one of the last things you run on a Windows machine before
installing FreeBSD.

What version of FreeBSD are you using?  Tekram's DC-3X5 cards aren't
supported by default in any version of FreeBSD.  They are only supported
with Tekram's driver.

Tekram's driver and boot floppies are located here:

ftp://ftp.tekram.com/SCSI/3x5/FreeBSD/FreeBSD300
