Hi The hardware notes do not list this under LSI Logic SCSI Raid=20 controllers. However, the LSI Logic Fiber Controllers support says "LSI Logic Fusion/MP architecture Fiber Channel controllers=20 (mpt driver) LSI FC909, FC929 LSI 53c1020, 53c1030 " The marketing stuff (courtesy of googlegear.com) for the SCSI board=20 (LSI Logic MegaRAID SCSI 320-1 Single-Channel Ultra320 RAID Storage=20 Adapter) says: "Designed around LSI Logics next-generation I/O technology -=20 Fusion-MPT- the MegaRAID SCSI 320-1 leverages a streamlined=20 firmware-level programming interface and advanced hardware designs to=20 offer unequalled I/O efficiency and performance. The MegaRAID SCSI=20 320-1 also incorporates a space-saving MD2 (low-profile PCI) form=20 factor, increasing available space, even in the most limited server and=20= workstation enclosures. " AND "One single-channel LSI53C1020 Ultra320 SCSI controller IA-64 ready Intel GC80302 integrated I/O processor 64-bit, 66 MHz PCI PCI 2.2 compliant Integrated 64 MB ECC SDRAM cache memory Advanced management and configuration utilities Supports up to 40 logical drives per controller Auto resume during array rebuild or reconstruction Background initialization for Quick RAID 5 setup FlexRAID=AE: Online capacity expansion Online RAID level migration " The keywords that match the Fiber Channel controllers "Logic=20 Fusion/MP" matching "Fusion-MPT" and the controller chip "LSI 53c1020"=20= matching "LSI53C1020". That makes it appear that the Fiber Controllers=20= came out first using this new Fusion stuff and then they came out with=20= some new Ultra320 controllers later on. The controller chip is the=20 same on both so I would guess it would work. Anyone have any experience with this or sister boards in the same=20 family under FreeBSD 5? I am configuring a system that will eventually replace our FreeBSD 4=20 system. They have to run in tandem for awhile and so I cannot just=20 reuse the stuff in the 4 server Thanks Chad _______________________________________________ freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hardware To unsubscribe, send any mail to=20 "freebsd-hardware-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
