Hi all,
I've been running those cards on Linux.
The 2008-Chip is an HBA-Chip. Linux uses the mpt2sas Driver (the old
HBAs are using mptsas).
The 2108 is the Raid-Chip using the megaraid_sas or 3w-sas driver
(depending on the firmware installed- LSI 9261-8i and 3ware 9750-8i seem
to have identical Hardware.
Hi,
Hi all,
Can you please clarify which linux works and how large the individual
disks are?
I know that 6GBIT SAS HBAs with LSI 2008 Chip are in the default kernel
since 2.6.33- patches are available. The Disksize shouldn't matter.
My problem under BSD is 2-fold:
1. There is an open PR for this LSI device at
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=144326
you should reclassify the pr- telling about the exact device (device/
vendor id).
2. My smallest disk is 2TB
is this a problem? When you have a driver, it is recognized.
Your largest disk is probably also 2TB ;)
Without visiting the datacentre, I have no device to install to.
even when visiting the DC, I suppose.
I know of some 3GBit HBAs beeing able to be upgraded to Raidcontrollers
(linux driver changes from mptsas to megaraid_sas). But this is not
possible with all LSI devices.
Afaik we don't have a driver for freebsd yet.
Regards,
Michael!
