Subject: Booting from or using a Compaq RA4100 Array
Date: Wed, 28 Dec 2005 15:29:51 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1135801791.9541.12.camel@gateway.markschaefer.org> (raw)

Hi,

I have a couple of these arrays I purchased from eBay.  Apparently, they
don't work with any other controller card, except cpqfc, which is
unsupported in the 2.6 kernel.  Has anyone gotten these working on a
different card?  If so, is it possible to boot off of this array?  I'm
using Emulex LP8000's, but have the 64-bit/66MHz Compaq cards for
configuration.

	James Bottomley mentioned that it supported the SCC-2 spec, which is
now deprecated, and reading the spec, it seems as though I wouldn't be
able to boot directly from the array.

Thanks in advance for any pointers.  

Mark
