What is the Adaptec model for this IBM card? Most of the

First, apologies, my fingers slipped - the card is a 6i. I have
been unable to locate the Adapec equivalent and I've even seen
that some cards have been made for them by LSI - the chipset on
the mobo (xSeries 345) is from LSI. But in fact the box this
card came in has both the IBM and Adaptec logos so this one is
indeed from Adaptec.
There is a P/N 13N2190 but I can't match it with Adaptec and
think it's an IBM number.
I assume the card "works", just that you have no management
software for it?
If so, what device does it come up under? What does the dmesg
look like?
Chad
Yes, the card works fine - it's only been installed for a short
while. IBM has a bootable CD (forgot if it's Linux or Windows)
that I was able to the original config. from. This will ultimately
be a production server that I aim to have up as close to 24/7 as
possible - and it will be remotely located - so i was searching for
something other than the CD tools in order to check status, etc.
with system up.
Here is the dmesg section pertaining to the card:
ips0: <Adaptec ServeRAID Adapter> mem 0xe8000000-0xebffffff,
0xe7fff000-0xe7ffffff irq 18 at device 2.0 on pci8
A quick look at man ips seems to show that that is its own thing.
You may wish to email the driver writer at the bottom of the man page
for this to ask about compatibility etc.
I do know that aac and asr based drivers for Adaptec cards do have
CLI RAID configuration and utility software that runs on FreeBSD
good luck
Chad
