IBM has never supported ServeRAID ( ips ) on any Pseries machine that I am aware of. I know it has never been tested. -----Original Message----- From: Ulrich Enslin [mailto:ulrichenslin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, November 07, 2006 4:39 AM To: brking@xxxxxxxxxx; linux-scsi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx; IpsLinux Subject: Re: IBM Serveraid 4h on PSeries Hi Brian, linux-scsi team, ipslinux team Thank you for below reply Brian. I will not bother you again, but here is better details of my problem, since I managed to get hold of the documentation that belongs to this server: I have a IBM Pseries 620 with a Type 4-X, PCI 4-Channel Ultra3 SCSI RAID Adapter (FC 2498) (IBM code 4-x). I have OpenSuse 10.1 installed, but the raid card is not detected, and show in the PCI diagnostics as a Serveraid 4H card. The PCI diagnostics also showed a <access denied> in the extension tag. Can any one tell me what driver I should be loading, or what the true identity of the card is under Linux. I found some posts that showed I should be using the 'ips' module driver, but this is not found in OpenSuse and IBM's website only has x86 driver for the Serveraid 4H card. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you for your time.
