In general they work fine. The mfi driver is being used and I get some occassional blurbs logged by the driver. I am having poor results though trying to get the megacli port (sysutils/linux-megacli) to work with it. For example, if I call 'megacli -AdpAllInfo -aALL' I get junk/ empty output like: Adapter #0 ======================================================================== ====== Versions ================ Product Name : Serial No : FW Package Build: FW Version : BIOS Version : Ctrl-R Version : Pending Images In Flash ================ None PCI Info ================ Vendor Id : 0000 Device Id : 0000 SubVendorId : 0000 SubDeviceId : 0000 Host Interface : UNKOWN Number of Frontend Port: 0 Device Interface : UNKOWN ... I am getting this result with multiple systems, one running 6.2- RELEASE p3, the other a recent (as of today) build of 6.2-STABLE. I am using linux_base-fc-4_9 for the Linux compat install, and the specific package of megacli is linux-megacli-1.01.09_1. linprocfs and linsysfs are both mounted. mfi_linux.ko is loaded. The device seems to be recognized within the linux subsystem, as I have: # cat /compat/linux/sys/class/scsi_host/host0/proc_name megaraid_sas From what I have been able to dig up from past posts to the mailing lists: others have been able to get this working fine, but I'm not sure if any have been specifically with 6.2 and the PERC5/i controller. If anyone has any clues or tips for how to proceed with this, it would be much appreciated. Thanks. -Jonathan -- Jonathan Delgado, Systems Manager Molecular Biology Massachusetts General Hospital
