It contains two PERC4 RAID controllers. One is a PERC4e/Si, and the other is a PERC4/DC. Right now we are running FreeBSD 6.3-RELEASE, with a 36GB RAID-1 on the PERC4e/Si (amr0), and both a 1TB RAID5 and a 136GB RAID1 on the PERC4/DC(amr1). Both adapters are running the latest firmware revision. When we boot FreeBSD7.1 install media, the amr driver fails to detect any volumes (disks) attached to amr0, the PERC4e/Si. However, it picks up the attached disks on the PERC4/DC just fine. However, if I boot 7.0-RELEASE install media, it picks up all of the attached volumes, leading me to believe the issue is due to changes in the amr driver between 7.0 and 7.1. During the 7.1 boot process, before probing disks, we see the message "amr0: adapter is busy" show up twice. This also does not occur on the 6.3, 6.4, or 7.0 releases. We also have another PE1850 with a very similar configuration, except the two PERCs get probed in a different order, and it detects all of the attached volumes without any issues. Any suggestions? These are semi-critical systems, so we aren't always able to test things like this. But, we can schedule downtime once or twice a week if necessary. -Steve Polyack From owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Tue Jan 13 20:18:42 2009 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [IPv6:2001:4f8:fff6::34]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 1834E1065675; Tue, 13 Jan 2009 20:18:42 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from hiryu@neo-zeon.de) Received: from neo-zeon.de (dsl-63-249-90-167.cruzio.com [63.249.90.167]) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id E335D8FC0C; Tue, 13 Jan 2009 20:18:41 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from hiryu@neo-zeon.de) Received: from [216.113.168.128] (helo=hanzo.local) by neo-zeon.de with esmtpsa (TLS-1.0:DHE_RSA_AES_256_CBC_SHA1:32) (Exim 4.63) (envelope-from ) id 1LMpS6-0007bl-1Q; Tue, 13 Jan 2009 12:01:33 -0800 From: Cameron To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Date: Tue, 13 Jan 2009 12:01:28 -0800 User-Agent: KMail/1.9.9 References: <496CEB13.5040806@comcast.net> In-Reply-To: <496CEB13.5040806@comcast.net> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline Message-Id: <200901131201.28226.hiryu@neo-zeon.de> X-SA-Exim-Connect-IP: 216.113.168.128 X-SA-Exim-Mail-From: hiryu@neo-zeon.de X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.2.5 (2008-06-10) on panzer.lan.nerv X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-4.4 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,AWL,BAYES_00 autolearn=ham version=3.2.5 X-SA-Exim-Version: 4.2.1 (built Tue, 09 Jan 2007 17:23:22 +0000) X-SA-Exim-Scanned: Yes (on neo-zeon.de) Cc: Mike Tancsa , Steve Polyack Subject: Re: amr driver changes in FreeBSD 7.1-RELEASE X-BeenThere: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: General discussion of FreeBSD hardware List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Tue, 13 Jan 2009 20:18:43 -0000 Hello, This seems related to a problem I had with a 7.1-PRERELEASE (I have since upgraded to 7.1-RELEASE, but haven't not tested if the problem is still there). If I compiled the kernel with only the amr driver, it would not see my raid volume. If I enabled a separate scsi driver (I think it was some LSI Logic scsi driver) in addition to amr, the amr driver would work fine. I wish I could give some exact details (like the name of the other scsi driver), but this is on my home machine, and I'm currently at work. While a generic 7.1-PRERELEASE kernel had both of these compiled in (of course), and worked fine for me, I suspect our problems are related. I have an LSI Logic 150-4 SATA raid controller. -Cameron n Tuesday 13 January 2009 11:27:15 am Steve Polyack wrote: > Hello, > > We have a Dell PowerEdge 1850 server.

Because of the purpose: * the card doesn't have to be top-performing (though SATA300 is desirable); * no RAID is needed; * 1 port is enough; * eSATA jack is nice to have. (if the card has better features than listed here, but is still under $100, that's good too :-)) I have already asked around[1], but the cards people have mentioned have both good and back feedback in the mail archives. It's not clear if the issues people mention have been fixed or not (or that was related to something else altogether). So I'd appreciate if people share their positive experiences. Thanks!

The onboard Ethernet port (chipset 8111C) will not work with 7.0. The updated driver is in 7.1. Everything works great, except this mobo has a software RAID driver, which FreeBSD does not support. So, you would have to do standalone disks or some other kind of volume management, like vinum, I suppose. All in all, it's very fast and easy to use. I just regret that it doesn't natively support hardware RAID. I splurged and got a RocketRAID 3120 card, but I'm currently struggling in that regard to get it to boot after the installation.

Booting 7.1-R with 'boot -v' mysteriously adds: (probe32:amr1:1:6:0): error 22 (probe32:amr1:1:6:0): Unretryable Error However, amr1 is not the one that is giving us issues. It appears to work fine. amr0 is the one on which 7.1-R fails to find any volumes. Even stranger, a 'camcontrol devlist' manages to display all off the individual SCSI drives attached to amr0. Finally, this problem was solved whilst writing this e-mail. The default for kern.cam.scsi_delay (5000ms) appears to be too aggressive in my circumstances. Increasing it to 15000 solves my issue (and gets rid of "amr0: adapter is busy" messages). Steve Polyack wrote: > Hello, > > We have a Dell PowerEdge 1850 server.

This RAID requires a driver to be loaded at boot time (from the "ok" prompt) before the OS loads to recognize the RAID. I'm trying to install the FreeBSD 7.1-RELEASE onto a RAID-1 (Mirror) using this chipset. 1) Is there a driver available in FreeBSD for this chipset (either natively or externally; if external, where)? 2) Once I make a mirror and install an OS onto it, can I make it bootable? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Note, I'm not a hacker, but nor am I a noob. My motherboard is Gigabyte GA-MA78G-DS3H. I've already determined that FreeBSD does install and run well on it (and only the 7.1 release supports the 8111C onboard Ethernet LAN chipset). However, I have no clue how to do motherboard-based RAID with a boot-time driver in FreeBSD. My attempts at using a RocketRAID PCI card failed...something about it interfering with the onboard RAID chipset (even if it's disabled). I cannot boot from the RocketRAID, but that was a different thread entirely. My main focus with this thread is can I get a FreeBSD 7.1-RELEASE bootable mirror on the SB700 chipset? Unfortunately, I didn't find anything on the FreeBSD.Org site regarding SB700. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Is-it-possible-to-make-a-bootable-RAID-on-AMD-700-series-chipset--tp21506446p21506446.html Sent from the freebsd-hardware mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Supposingly ATI did not release info about software RAID metadata format so there is little the community can do. Since AMD released GPU info after acquiring ATI, maybe they need a poke about chipsets? JIa-Shiun.
