What is the device name for the disks? What does dmesg say when it detects the controller? If it says something with aac in it then you want the LINUX aaccli and if it says asr you want the asr utils, but you need to google on FreeBSD and asr as there is a kernel option you need for 5.4 to work with the asr utilities. For the aac device, you need to get the Linux aaccli program (much more advanced) and also load the linux_aac kernel module. I have both a 2200S (aac) working with 5.3 and a 2100S (asr) working with 5.4.
