But somehow I think anyone with such a server is probably using it. I have Installed and do maintain a server which has Adaptec 2410S. from lspci -v 's output: 01:02.0 RAID bus controller: Adaptec AAC-RAID (rev 01) Subsystem: Adaptec AAR-2410SA PCI SATA 4ch (Jaguar II) Flags: bus master, 66MHz, slow devsel, latency 64, IRQ 233 Memory at dc000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=64M] Expansion ROM at fea00000 [disabled] [size=32K] Capabilities: [80] Power Management version 2 I don't like it. It works, anyway. I had never experienced any problem with it, since I installed, but I like 3ware cards better, since they have utils with it's driver CD, which is capable to interact with its /dev/twaX controlling device.
We have servers with adaptec hardware raid 2000, 2010, 2015 and 2020 cards. We had some problems with broken cards and a crashing RAID array. Performance seems quite good and management can be done with the arcconf utility. We use the dpt_i2o (and for the 2020 aacraid) driver everywhere since I have seen the i2o block driver eating my data once:)
I can see the rebuilding status online, I can start rebuild, build hw raid online, without shutting the OS down and need to get into the bios. tw_cli is my best friend in this topic ;-) But for this adaptec sh17, I cannot found any controlling utility. Adaptec's site seemed kind of chaos to me, and in case if you want to download sg. from them U need to register through dozens of forms, and you can double it, if U don't live in US. (So, maybe they had driver, but I had have no patience.)
Try downloading the Storage manager and check out the 'arcconf' utility. Geert
