Hello I have 2 610s with integrated SAS6IR raid controllers for my internal OS disks. I also have a SAS 5/E in the server to connect to my MD3000. I have a couple of issues keeping me from getting up and running. Once I connect the Virtual disk(LUN) that I have created the devices in my OS get reordered with the SAS6IR disk(LUN) being assigned a higher sd? device name. This keeps makes the system fail to boot.
The second issue (This may be the reason for the first)is the SAS6IR and the SAS5/E seem to use the same driver. I have set the MPTbios to disable the 5/E as a boot device. However since the mptsas controls both cards it seems to ignore the bios setting and initializes both cards and issues priority to the SAS5/E. I have looked at the module options but they do not seem to have anything related to changing this functionality. What I am looking for is a way to hard set the SAS6ir as the first device in order to initialize its (LUNs) first. I have looked into udev and attempted to create rules based on some unique identifiers for the disks. However these did not seem to change anything. If anyone has any examples that have worked in these type of situations.
