Help Please,
Need to confirm whether either is supported in OpenBSD and reaching out
to the community for any assistance you might be able to provide. If
you have either of these successfully deployed your input will be much
appreciated.
Server Model: HP DL160 G5
HDD Controller: SC40Ge
http://www-07.ibm.com/lenovoinfo/thinkserver/au/mtm_rack_popup.html
Server Model: IBM 1U Servers
HDD Controller: LSI 1064E
So far as I can find through web searching, the controllers are LSI
based and probably LSI1064E. Unfortunately, I can't find any reference
to an LSI1064E in lsi.com whereas they do have (and OpenBSD supports) an
LSI SAS 1064E.
Numerous references on the IBM site to the LSI 1064e SAS Controller, but
the product build form only references an LSI 1064E. I'm just being
careful that their reference is to the same thing we see in the OpenBSD
Driver list.
lsi.com confirms LSIAS1064E is part of the mpt family, but doesn't
explicitly mention the LSI 1064E (sans SAS?) LSISAS1064E is supported
with the mpi driver, but I'm concerned that there's a significant
difference in the two chipsets?
NET browsing implies the controller is supported in FreeBSD's mpt
driver, with 2008 patches for performance issues.
Again,
If someone can clarify the support state for the two above mentioned
controllers (IBM: LSI 1064E, or HP: SC40Ge), this will be very much
appreaciated.
Thanks in advance,
Sam T
