It seems to work quite well and be easy to set up from the ROM at boot time. One of the tests was to remove one of the disks from a RAID-1 configuration while the OS was running. This worked as expected. But putting the disk back in didn't appear to have any effect. (In particular, it didn't turn off the loud on-board alarm. The person running that test didn't let it run long enough to see if it actually rebuilt automatically.) Which leads me to the search for some way to control the board while the OS is running. The DPT web site indicates that the dptutil program isn't yet available for FreeBSD (or BSD/OS), and they only mention FreeBSD 2.2.8. Is there anything in 3.4 or 4.0 that would let me perform the RAID configuration from the command line? Or at least shut off the alarm?
