Has anyone used this card?
If so, is it a decent card? Perform OK?
I know absolutely nothing about RAID cards.. trying to learn some here. I know 3ware cards have a command line, does this card? What about other adaptecs?
I've got a bunch of machines running Adaptec 2015S cards in raid-1. I cannot seem to get it to work I get the same error on every command I seem to run for example
raidutil -L all
Engine connect failed: Open
They all run CentOS with kernels such as
2.6.15.1 #1 SMP PREEMPT (They are not public facing so don't bother discussing how old the kernel is)
x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
So does anyone have any suggestions on this? I've tried everything from what I can find and continue to receive this error.
Anyone knows how to fix this error. I have tried to ugprade the lastest firmware but the error won't go away.
hdparm -tT /dev/sda

Of the three raid card brands, which do you think is best and why?
I'm currently looking for a card that can do both SAS and SATA, and have four internal ports.
I am having quite a challenge getting openvz to work on centos 5 with a adaptec RAID card.
The driver likes the plain jane kernel..but then...
Configuration [OpenVZ (2.6.18-8.1.14.el5.028stab045.1)]
***NOTICE: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-8.1.14.el5.028stab045.1 is not a kernel. Skipping.
There is also another issue not being able to disable Selinux.
I have tried the normal routes and even attempted disabling it in rc.sysinit..still...this "security framework" is able to load it..and cause problems.
Openvz and SeLinux don't get along..even a little bit.
So..those are the two probably seperate issues...that prevent the poor server from booting.
Anyone knows the CLI command for rebuilding a mirror raid for Adaptec 2410?
View 1 Replies View Relatedi want to use q9550 with 8G RAM,
install on X7SBL-LN2,
and use for 500G SATAII to do raid 10,
about Adaptec 2405SAS and 3Ware 9650SE-4LPML,
which one will get better performance?
I have got a server with the following specs:
Dual Xeon 2.4 Ghz
6 Gb DDR ECC REG
1 HD 147 Gb 15K
On the board, there is an SCSI adapter which is an Adaptec 7899.
This configuration is working perfectly under Windows 2003. However, as per customer request, I have to install CentOS, RedHat or Fedora. Even Debian is OK.
However, during the install, the OS find NO hard drives and the installation is aborted.
I googled some time and it looks that there is 1 million people looking for a solution on how to install Linux on a machine with an AIC-7899.
The installer loads a driver AIC-7XXX but didn't find the device anyway.
