Adaptec has a new tool called 'arcconf' that supports the newer
firmware and devices.  The interface is different to aaccli, and
it lacks a few capabilities of aaccli, but should be usable for
normal RAID monitoring.

Have a look at:

Is there a way to check the status from the Raid without it? Perhaps
with the linux aaccli? I doubt that adaptec is releasing a new aaccli
for freebsd soon.


Yes, this is a problem for all modern adaptec RAID bios.  I've been  
trying to get Scott Long to work on a monitoring solution for these  
newer cards and he expressed interest, but the project seems to have  
fallen off of his short list... Perhaps I shall ping him again.


Care to share the consulting fee?

It's a Adaptec 2020ZCR
Controller Monitor 5.1-0[8454]
Controller Kernel  5.1-0[8454] 

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:1:0:  class=0x010400 card=0x028a9005 chip=0x02859005 rev=0x02
hdr=0x00
vendor   = 'Adaptec Inc'
device   = 'AAC-RAID RAID Controller'
class= mass storage
subclass = RAID

FreeBSD (6.2 and Current) boots and works perfectly. Only the storage
control program from port/sysutils/aaccli doesn't work with this
controller. 

aaccli open aac0:
Command Error: The current AFAAPI.DLL is too old to work with the
current controller software.

Is there a way to check the status from the Raid without it? Perhaps
with the linux aaccli? I doubt that adaptec is releasing a new aaccli
for freebsd soon.

Cheers,
Thomas
