We just bought an IBM xSeries 306 server, which boasts to have a "IBM
ServeRAID-7e (Adaptect HostRAID) controller".
Although I created an array in BIOS, it is not seen by Linux.
I use 2.6.12.6 kernel.
Here is additional info from lspci:
00:1f.2 RAID bus controller: Intel Corporation 6300ESB SATA RAID
Controller (rev 02) (prog-if 8f)
Subsystem: IBM: Unknown device 02ae
Control: I/O+ Mem- BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop-
ParErr+ Stepping- SERR- FastB2B-
Status: Cap- 66Mhz+ UDF- FastB2B+ ParErr- DEVSEL=medium
>TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR-
Latency: 0
Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 18
Region 0: I/O ports at 1450 [size=8]
Region 1: I/O ports at 1444 [size=4]
Region 2: I/O ports at 1448 [size=8]
Region 3: I/O ports at 1440 [size=4]
Region 4: I/O ports at 1430 [size=16]
and from dmesg:
ICH5: IDE controller at PCI slot 0000:00:1f.1
ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:1f.1[A] -> GSI 18 (level, low) -> IRQ 18
ICH5: chipset revision 2
ICH5: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later
ide0: BM-DMA at 0x1420-0x1427, BIOS settings: hda:pio, hdb:pio
ide1: BM-DMA at 0x1428-0x142f, BIOS settings: hdc:pio, hdd:pio
Is it supported by Linux, or do I have to use md devices / Linux
software RAID instead?
dmraid doen't find any devices, fdisk -l shows onyl /dev/sda and
/dev/sdb drives.
