Hi,
I've managed to install FreeBSD 5 on a RAID-10 after my weird
problem of random letters/numbers scrolling on the screen upon a CD
boot (actually installed 4.10 from CD, cvsupped to 5.4, it worked -
seems to be something related to the CD boot loader..).
Wanting to have something to manage the raid with, a simple make
search key=adaptec showed asr-utils and aaccli. I've had no luck
with either one.
I don't have the server online now (have it at home before shipping
it, only have one set of cables, a pain to switch them due to cable
locations etc)
With raidutil (from asr-utils), a raidutil -L all says something
about COMPATIBITY NUMBER and then something about /dev/rdpti17.
I've tried to symlink /dev/asr0 to /dev/rdpti17, but the symlink is
gone when I run raidutil again. I googled a bit and there were
suggestions about /dev/rasr0 -> /dev/rdpti17, but I have no rasr0
device - only asr0. There was also some links about increasing SYSV
memory, which I did, no luck either.
I tried aaccli after having no luck with raidutil, and a aaccli
open asr0 says the controller is invalid or non-existant.
camcontrol devlist shows the RAID-10, and I'm pretty sure the RAID
is working - I've installed FreeBSD on it lol :-)
All that I'm missing now is a tool to be able to manage the raid..
any suggestions ?
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. ALl on i386 version of FBSD
