Hi,
I am trying to set up my first webserver. I bought a Dell Poweredge
860, provided with a SAS5/IR RAID-Controller.
The problem is now, that I cannot find software, that monitors the
state of my disks. I already tried megarc from the ports but all I
get is a short answer that no adapters where found:

I had emails with Dell and LSI. Dell does not support FreeBSD and LSI
says I should go and ask Dell ...
The second thing is, the perfomance.

That is pretty poor, isn't it ?
I am wondering now, if somebody has experience with the PERC5/I
Controller. Would it be possible to monitor the disks, if I would buy
that controller ?
Any hints are highly appreciated.
Thanks
Michael
I don't know about monitoring the SAS5/I however I read some posts on
one of the lists that was talking about the linux compatibility system
providing all of the correct interface for the linux version of
?megacli? to work on FreeBSD. As the SAS5/I is mpt driver based could
it not be checked with camcontrol? (Just an idea never tested).

Hi Tom,
thank you for your response. What about monitoring the PERC5/ie ? Does
it work with megarc or any program under FreeBSD ?
Just to clarify that the the following was related to the PERC5/ie and
the mfi driver:
" I read some posts on one of the lists that was talking about the linux
compatibility system providing all of the correct interface for the
linux version of megacli/megarc to work on FreeBSD"
I think google can answer the rest for you.
Tom
