ACA:Sleeper Member Join Date: May 2006 Location: Melbourne's SE Suburbs Posts: 424 New SAS controller, driver dkms install issues may require distro change I'm running Ubuntu 9.04, and am very happy. I have several services setup and am chugging away nicely. My main reason dkms autoinstall for using Linux is MDADM software RAID. Recently I got an Intel SASMF8I controller cheap, and all I am after is the extra sata ports it provides, as I am very happy with the versatility that MDADM provides, not to mention the http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-hardware-18/megaraid-2-20-dkms-issues-612078/ dificulty in backing up my large array to migrate to hardware RAID. My issue seems to be identical to this... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=933467 The LSI page shows some drivers.... http://www.lsi.com/storage_home/prod...te=1&locale=EN but only for redhat and sles... is thier a free distro that will work with these drivers, will open suse work? Is their a solution where I don't have to change distro? I have been spoilt with Synaptic, it makes it easy for plebs like me to muddle through. Failing that, I'm concidering backing up, moving http://forums.overclockers.com.au/showthread.php?t=786877 to windows (which have drivers) and seting it up in hardware RAID.

Is the card not recognised by the megaraid module? Note that there has to be drives detected on the SAS/SATA channels to be registered under /dev saba View Public Profile Find More Posts by saba Find More Threads by saba 8th June 2009, 11:50 AM #3 ACA:Sleeper Member Join Date: May 2006 Location: Melbourne's SE Suburbs Posts: 424 It detects, I did a 'lspci -v' and the card shows, but with no driver listed. No drives show up that are on the controler, this is with them setup in the LSI bios.

Individual drives won't show, only the array's created and exposed to the OS. saba View Public Profile Find More Posts by saba Find More Threads by saba 8th June 2009, 12:35 PM #5 ACA:Sleeper Member Jo
the latest version of the megaraid_sas driver (as used by the Dell PowerEdge 1950/2950/etc family for their PERC5 RAID controllers) on SLES 10. I was bitten by some recent problems with one of my PowerEdge 2950's RAID container which was exacerbated by the fact http://www.techno-obscura.com/~delgado/blog/2007/05/sles10-and-megaraid_sas-dkms/ that I had failed to apply some rather urgent firmware updates for the PERC5/i controller card. The PERC5/i is just a Dell-badged LSI SAS RAID card and thus uses the megaraid_sas drivers, but I am jumping ahead a bit here. For the sake of those who follow the same naive course as I did, may you find this quickly with Google and save yourself some grief. Having fell foul to a failed RAID container, I quickly went out error dkms and found the latest firmware updates which I knew existed but had yet to apply to the failed system. I applied it to the system and a couple of other which I knew were also in need. Installed on a bootable flash drive, the updates went by rather quickly. Yay. I reboot the system and all seems well, that is until I notice that syslog is running full load on one CPU. So I look at my error dkms tree /var/log/messages and it is chock full of errors like this, at a rate like 100-line per second: May 10 09:30:03 doomed kernel: status = 1, message = 00, host = 0, driver = 08 May 10 09:30:03 doomed kernel: <6>sd: Current: sense key: Illegal Request May 10 09:30:03 doomed kernel: Additional sense: Invalid command operation code May 10 09:30:03 doomed kernel: FAILED So this is very rapidly filling up my /var partition and making me unhappy. Very unhappy. I thought this was perhaps related to a failed rebuild of my newly initialized RAID container… so I waited for it to finish 1.43TB of RAID building, and it still spewed away. Googling the error message didn't yield a whole lot in results. Eventually I looked on the Dell site to see if their were any other updates I was missing, and lo and behold the day after they released the PERC5/i firmware update there was also a driver update. I downloaded the driver. It requires The Dell DKMS (Dynamic Kernel Module Support), so I download that as well. Install the DKMS rpm, no problem. Install the megaraid_sas rpm, no problem their either. It installs the module, does a mkinitrd, and waits for me to reboot. I reboot and all is hunky dory. No more crazy errors. I am happy and decide it is now time to rinse and repeat with my
