I still have a problem with the local IBM guys refusing to support the Adaptec card though. They've agreed to get me the information needed to help with using the ServeRAID card. But looking at the man page for the ips driver absolutely scares me. What information do you exactly need from the IBM/Adaptec folks to get the ips driver and the Linux management apps to work to a descent level. Let me know and I'll talk to them and see if I can help you to get that information. I can also help you with some of the testing as well. I'd hate to resort to using Linux, just because of the issue with this card. It's actually a damn good card if we can get it to work under FreeBSD. Thanks in advance, -kc.

I talked with some ServeRAID engineers about this a few years back, and it seems that the linux apps assume that the arrays are presented from the OS as SCSI devices that are conduits for the apps to communicate to the ips firmware with custom SCSI commands. Linux apps that use the Linux 'sg' API (and I use that term quite loosely in this case) to send SCSI commands are not portable at all to FreeBSD. The FreeBSD ips driver also is a block driver, not a SCSI driver, so even if the apps could be made portable, the driver would have to be re-written. Compare this to the aac architecture that uses common, portable ioctls to communicate between userland and the firmware; this makes it trivial to run the linux apps on FreeBSD. Also, remember that IBM sold their ServeRAID business to Adaptec a few years ago. While you might be talking to IBM reps about FreeBSD support, all that they can do is go to Adaptec and relay the message. Adaptec has had very little interest over the years in supporting FreeBSD, and what support there is only exists because of several people who no longer work there (myself included).

Make sure your system isn't in background init mode etc. Of course I don't know how to do this without LSI monitoring utitilies. Complain to LSI the need for this. Without the various utilities and versions with fixed bugs you can't run a reliable RAID (ie. won't get RAID notificatioin that a drive went away, it is doing a consistancy check, etc). The more people that complain then hopefully we can get LSI to fix their binary only utilities that are required to monitor and admin. their RAID controller :-( I messured the amr RAID controller is faster for everything then aac on the same HW and drives under RAID 10.

I have a FBSD 5.2.1 server with an adaptec 39160 that's hooked into a Eurologic ultrabloc 320 JBOD that holds a bunch of disks for some CCDs. I'm trying to upgrade the server to a dual opteron running 5-STABLE. The board is a tyan Thunder K8S Pro (S2882) with an onboard adaptec AIC-7902 chip. I had hoped as part of the upgrade I'd just plug in the JBOD to the external interface of the new server and everything would be great, but it wasn't so. The SCSI bios of the new server doesn't see any devices on channel B, aside from the host adapter on 7. (Channel A shows the internal scsi drive and the adapter on 7). I'm at a loss for what to do. What I could find online says that the 7902 does support LVD, I've tried messing with the auto-termination settings, etc., but it didn't help. If it matters, the working config uses a cable with two 68 pin vhdci ends, whereas the new server presents a non-vhdci 68 pin connector, and I have a cable that goes to vhdci into the JBOD. (I saw the lights on the JBOD light up when I accidentally "hot-plugged" the new server into it...does that prove anything?) Does anything here strike anybody as obviously messed up? Also, please CC me on reply as I'm not on the scsi list.

Granted, however, the Dell PE2850s at work has the LSI 1030 controller as well. The firmware is customized for Dell and might have some other tweaks. I was trying to highlight that lack of knowledge of what the controller is doing will skew your results. Another possibility is that the IBM machine is broken. I've seen some strange things that might be due to the Intel 7520 chipset on the Dell box. If the temporary interrupt storms I've seen happen then that will effect disk performance as well.

I am supposed to be nominal maintainer, but I've had no time for FreeBSD for quite some time- this might change a *bit* soon as I just quit my job and am moving to one which is a bit less insane. But I believe that the card still needs a real maintainer who will spend a lot of time on it. If there *is* such a serious owner out there, I'd be delighted to have that happen If there was any money involved in it, I'd also be more interested in proactively maintaining the driver. I was able to leverage *some* FreeBSD support time out of some previous jobs and contracts, but nobody I've worked for in the last 3 years has had the slightest interest in *BSD support. I'm a bit surprised that LSI-Logic's Linux maintainers won't help. Have you checked? Stever Ralston && Pam Delaney are gone, but I thought a FreeBSD committer moved up from GA to Colorado Springs to take over the Linux maintenance and you'd think he'd help, no?
