Hi all: After over a week of messing with OpenFiler, I think I'm finally close to getting my hardware I2O RAID card working (Promise SX6000). I had to upgrade the kernel, as the version shipping with OF has a bug in it that breaks all I2O RAID cards. I don't need iSCSI target for now, so I though tthis was acceptable.
Now that I have it showing up in my system, things are close. The problem is I2O raid devices are created in /dev/i2o/hd* (my case: /dev/i2o/hda -- this is NOT the same disk as my system disk: /dev/hda). So, under "Physical Volues", it does not see it, and thus I can't partition or use it. I have verified that the volume itself works by partitioning and formatting it directly. Both operations completed sucessfully, verifying the raid drivers funcitionality. So my question at this point is: how do I get OF to see the disk and be able to create volumes and such. Or, if I partition and set up LVM by hand, will it pick it up at that point? If so, what are its requirements to make it seen? I'm really close here, and would greatly appreciate assistance in finishing it off! Thanks! --Jim _______________________________________________ Openfiler-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openfiler.com/mailman/listinfo/openfiler-users
