Hmm, shouldn't it be possible to probe the RAID controller using some code from MegaMonitor or some other module. One just need to get some information during runtime. -Per -----Original Message----- From: Gary Mulder [mailto:gmulder@infotechfl.com] Sent: den 24 mars 2005 14:56 To: Per Hubinette Cc: freebsd-scsi@freebsd.org Subject: Re: LSILogic MegaRAID and "camcontrol:cam_lookup_pass:CAMGETPASSTHRU ioctl failed Per, This MegaRAID controllers have an audible alarm, which I have turned on on each system we have. Since I have to visit the lab once a day to rotate tapes I will hopefully know if one of the controllers is reporting a failed drive. Additionally FreeBSD will report the array as "degraded" in syslog, but I suspect only if you make FreeBSD probe the RAID controller (i.e. reboot). Please correct me if I am wrong. All round, not a good solution, so I'm moving to Adaptec 2200S controllers which, as Scott says, are well supported under FreeBSD.
