Hi,

I have a Dell PE M610 and PE1955 blade, which is failing to detect their
RAID controllers when using the Dell Deployment Toolkit (DTK)'s raidcfg
utility.

The RC is being detected when using syscfg:

[r...@bob ~]# /opt/dell/toolkit/bin/syscfg --pci

PCI Bus: 2, Device: 0, Function: 0
  Vendor:    1000 - LSI Logic / Symbios Logic
  Device:    0060 - MegaRAID SAS 1078
  Sub Vendor:1028 - Dell
  Sub Device:1F11 - CERC 6/i Integrated RAID Controller
  Slot:      00
  Class:     01 - Storage
  SubClass:  04 - RAID

However, raidcfg does not find any RCs:

[r...@bob ~]# /opt/dell/toolkit/bin/raidcfg -ctrl
Controller does not exist

I have found the following entry in the FAQ, but can't seem to find any
setting to set the RC to 'RAID mode'.

http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/software/dtk/3_0/UG/html/dtkugc1d.htm:

Q: Why can't I see any controllers using RAIDCFG?

A: Ensure that the RAID controller(s) can be seen in the BIOS during
POST. If the BIOS does not detect the controller, then RAIDCFG will also
not detect it. Also ensure that the controller is set to RAID mode and
not any other mode in the controller BIOS.

I have also confirmed that the DTK indeed does support my RC and server
model:

[r...@bob ~]# lspci |grep RAID
02:00.0 RAID bus controller: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic MegaRAID SAS 1078
(rev 04)
[r...@bob ~]# lspci -n | grep 02:00.0
02:00.0 0104: 1000:0060 (rev 04)
[r...@bob ~]# grep 1000,0060 /opt/dell/toolkit/bin/sys.ini
1000,0060=LSI                   ;PERC 6/i, PERC 6/E, CERC 6/i
[r...@bob ~]# grep M610 /opt/dell/toolkit/bin/sys.ini
0287=PEM610

I'm running DTK under Centos:

[r...@bob ~]# lsb_release -a
LSB Version:
:core-3.1-amd64:core-3.1-ia32:core-3.1-noarch:graphics-3.1-amd64:graphics-3.1-ia32:graphics-3.1-noarch
Distributor ID: CentOS
Description:    CentOS release 5.2 (Final)
Release:        5.2
Codename:       Final

[r...@bob ~]# more /opt/dell/VERSION
DTK_MAJOR_VERSION="3"
DTK_MINOR_VERSION="1"
DTK_SUBLEVEL_VERSION="1"
DTK_VERSION_STRING="3.1.1"

Any ideas? :)

Thanks,
Jaco

ps: this exact environment works perfectly with a Dell PE R710.
