Hi!

I want to run kernel 2.2.18 with aacraid support. Does anyone know where I can get the aacraid patches?

Greetings,
David

Hi David.  Thanks for writing.  This question has come up a number of times
lately, so I'll respond to the LK list too.

The open-source aacraid driver (formerly named percraid) is included in the
Red Hat Linux 7 kernel 2.2.16-22.  I'd recommend using that kernel (if not
the whole distro), or at least you can grab the aacraid patches from the
kernel source RPM for that kernel from ftp.redhat.com or one of its mirrors.
Be sure to grab all the *aacraid* patches from the /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES
directory after installing the kernel source RPM, and apply those patches to
your own kernel.  It's is known to work with 2.2.18 kernels.  Work on
porting to the 2.4 kernel is not yet complete.

Thanks for buying Dell!

Are there any utilities available to query the aacraid driver for the status 
of its arrays? I've noticed messages get put into the syslog when drives 
fail, but it wouold be nice to get more info from the driver about its 
arrays.

Cheers,

Mark.

For 2.4 there's the ipssend command, I doubt that IBM has ported it to
2.6, but whatever made it not work may be fixed, I haven't tried it in
some months, do try it yourself.

If this is useful info, please post back here the results. I have about
30 machines using this hardware, but none on which I can try a 2.6
kernel any more.

Please see http://domsch.com/linux/#aacraid
for links to such utilities by Adaptec.

Thanks,

Hello,

I have ASR 2200S card with 6011 build of firmware.

Using 2.6.6 and 2.6.9 kernel it sometimes respond with:
aacraid:ID(0:02:0) Abort Time-out. Resetting bus.
aacraid:SCSI bus reset issued on channel 0
aacraid:Drive 0:0:0 online on container 0:
aacraid:Drive 0:1:0 online on container 0:
aacraid:Drive 0:2:0 online on container 0:
aacraid:Drive 0:3:0 online on container 0:

(The last I saw this it was during 2x dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/null bs=1M
count=1024)

We had firmware 5xxx and we hoped that 6011 will fix this issue.

On the web of adaptec there is firmware version 7xxx. Is this version compatible
with linux driver? (as there is written that for windows you need upgraded
driver)
