waa-haa-haa! :))
looks like Intel does it's job "well": sales different cards
based on different vendors' chipsets under the same brand.
anyway, gdt(4) is supported too. with minus of bioctl.
my dmesg for SRCU42X can be found here
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=openbsd-tech&m=111667421201209&w=2
so one can just look briefly on chip: GC80302 found on SRCU42X
is LSI and will be ami(4).
Federico, what chip is on your SRCU42L?

We have a couple of PCs with Intel SRCU42L that are recognised as "gdt0"

Here it is the relevant part of the dmsg:

browse archives: any information about any LSI-based controller
would apply to your SRCU42 as it is LSI by nature.

Thanks Alexey :)
Maybe you have expirience with this controller? I'm interested in
performance of this model :)

Hello Stuart,
Thanks for your reply. Yes i was looking on DELL servers too, but
here is one BUT :) DELL server i must buy from shop, but other
servers i can get from starage, difference in prices is about
15-20% :) But i will look for separate PERC RAID controller :) And
btw, are they comaptible with any manufacturers server, or only
with DELL?
I didn't see that posts about intel RAID controllers, sounds good
for me. :)
Thanks :)
If you read
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=openbsd-misc&w=2&r=1&s=srcu42l&q=b
Diego says SRCU42L works ok for him. But I think that you should
continue to
look for an LSI card if you can - bioctl is useful.
Intel SRCU42L is just a rebagged LSI card, so SRCU42X is ami(4).
