Hi,
I have some Dell PowerEdge 1950 servers equipped with their PERC5/
i SAS RAID controller (OEM is LSI). 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

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.
