It looks like the controller is supported by the aac driver so check
the manpage for that. It answers your last question ;-)
Thanks, yes, it seems like it "just works" :) but I can't find any CLI
to manage it, the man-page for aac doesn't refer to one such and
atacontrol doesn't work :( are there other CLI's?
I thought the manpage referred to "linux management utilities" or some
such. This is from 5.4
The /dev/aac? device nodes provide access to the management
interface of
the controller. One node exists per installed card. The aliases
/dev/afa? and /dev/hpn? exist for compatibilty with the Dell and
HP ver-
sions of management tools, respectively. If the kernel is
compiled with
the COMPAT_LINUX option, or the aac_linux.ko and linux.ko modules are
loaded, the Linux-compatible ioctl(2) interface for the
management device
will be enabled and will allow Linux-based management applications to
control the card.
So whatever utilities Dell(?) provide should work. You should be able
to find those on the manufacturer's website and maybe even in the ports.
cd /usr/ports && make search name=aac
finds this:
Port: aaccli-1.0
Path: /usr/ports/sysutils/aaccli
Info: Adaptec SCSI RAID administration tool

B-deps:

which looks like what you want.
