Ok, another followup!
Is there a mangement interface program for the "mfi" driver somewhere? I
rooted around in "ports" but didn't find one, nor on the base system.
The Linux ones want to talk to the "amr" driver which is the older LSI
Logic
MegaRAID boards, not the newer ones that the mfi driver talks to.
No management tool = el-sucko, because you can't rebuild a failed disk or
even shut the alarm on the board off!
Its sysutils/linux-megacli.
Nope. It builds and installs but doesn't work (already tried this one.)
Attempting to ask it for the number of boards returns "0".
This may have something to do with changes made to the device structure(s)
in FreeBSD-7 (I don't have a 6 machine to test on any more) but it
definitely does not function.
It works fine for me on very recent 7-STABLE.
megacli -CfgDsply -a0

megacli -AdpAllInfo -aALL also works without a problem.

Did you follow all steps from ports/sysutils/linux-megacli/pkg-message ?
Though I think there is a small bug in the port (maintainer CCed)
It wants compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.12, but I think it should be
compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.16 ?
Just for reference I installed it with OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE_PORT=f8
I think you are confusing mega-cli with megamgr (which is the one that
work with amr driver)
dbms# megacli -CfgDsply -a0

Sorry if you already answer this and I missed it, but do you have
mfi_linux, linprocfs, linsysfs loaded as modules (or build in kernel)?
Also do you have mounted:
linprocfs on /usr/compat/linux/proc (linprocfs, local)
linsysfs on /usr/compat/linux/sys (linsysfs, local)
If this is done I'm really out of ideas.
But the card is definitely there; this is what it last logged when I manually
yanked one of the mirrored drives, then shut down and told it to rebuild
from the GUI before boot and let it go on its way:
mfi0: 501 - PD 10(e252/s1) progress 99% seconds 7017s: Rebuild progress on
PD 0a(e0xfc/s1) is 98.94%(7017s)
mfi0: 502 - PD 10(e252/s1) progress 100% seconds 7158s: Rebuild progress on
PD 0a(e0xfc/s1) is 99.94%(7158s)
mfi0: 503 - PD 10(e252/s1) event: Rebuild complete on PD 0a(e0xfc/s1)
mfi0: 504 - VD 00/0 state prior 2 new 3: State change on VD 00/0 from
DEGRADED(2) to OPTIMAL(3)
mfi0: 505 - VD 00/0 event: VD 00/0 is now OPTIMAL
mfi0: 506 - PD 10(e252/s1) state prior 20 new 24: State change on PD
0a(e0xfc/s1) from REBUILD(14) to ONLINE(18)
Oook!
So we have a card that the driver is perfectly happy with, but the
management interface can't find.
Note that this is the Intel board; I grabbed the Intel version of the
software for Linux (which appears to be essentially the same code but under
Intel's name), set the branding so the Linux emulator would play nice, and
got the same thing:
dbms# ./CmdTool2 -Cfgdsply -a0
Failed to get ControllerId List.
Failed to get CpController object.

Hmmmm... this is on a new machine that I loaded 7-RELEASE on and then
grabbed the CVS tree and pulled a -rRELENG_7 on and rebuilt.
Let me dig around a bit..... I wonder if I got a "funny" in here...
looking at kernel versions, it appears I might.
If so, that's going to be an interesting problem (as in "how did that happen?")
to figure out.
uname -v is returning:
FreeBSD 7.0-CURRENT-200608 #0: Mon Jun 16 20:54:25 UTC 2008 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC
How'd that happen with the tag "RELENG_7" in the tag? (and yes, it IS
in there in the CVS directory in the "Tag" file....)
