Can not see/access devices on Marvell 88SE9485 + SiI 3726 PMP

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

I've got a box which recently got a Marvell 88SE9485 PCIe card
(Supermicro AOC-SAS2LP-MV8), which is connected by a mSAS->4x SATA-cable
to some 5 HDD backplanes (CFI-B53PM, chip is a SiI 3726).

The HBA's BIOS can see and access the HDDs through the backplanes, which
various Linux distributions could not.
I tried Ubuntu 12.04.2, Ubuntu 13.04, Debian 7.0 and a current Arch Linux.
All logs in this mail are from a fresh Ubuntu 12.04.2 install.

lspci shows the controller as:
01:00.0 RAID bus controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. Device 9485
(rev 03)

lshw does not show the attached disks, nor are there device nodes in
/dev/ for those disks.

Unplugging a disk results in this (/var/log/kern.log):

According to Marvell's product brief the controller has "Built-in
support for SATA Port Multipliers with FIS-based switching", which its
BIOS seems to confirm.

The PMPs used to work when connected via a Syba SY-PEX40008 (SiI3124)
controller, which has bugs on its own when more than three drives per
PMP are concurrently active.

Any help is greatly appreciated,

Hajo
