Intel SRCZCR ?
Hello, At work we've a machine which is currently running FreeBSD 7.0 and we would like to upgrade to 7.2 This machine has an esoteric embedded RAID controller, the Intel SRCZCR RAID adapter. When I installed the machine one year ago I read the RELEASE Hardware Notes to check whether this chipset was supported or not. I didn't found any references, but I came across http://www.krellis.org/unix-stuff/srczcr-freebsd-howto.html and read that if was in fact supported by the iir(4) driver. Although I had a panic with the GENERIC kernel (see kern/122067), it works like a charm for more than one year now. Do you know if this card is still supported by the iir(4) driver (or other) in the 7.2-RELEASE ?

It is extremely unlikely that a single device support would have been removed within a single major branch like 7.x. It has never happened before. If it works for you in 7.0 it will continue to do so at least as good in 7.2. But there is a tiny possibility, with esoteric hardware, that a bug that was not fatal in a previous version becomes fatal in the new one. This is very rare but if you are very concerned you can check this by downloading a live cd (e.g. ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ISO-IMAGES-i386/7.2/7.2-RELEASE-i386-livefs.iso), booting it and testing a little. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
Intel SRCZCR Raid
Hello list, I have a motherboard with an Intel SRCZCR chipset. It works fine with the iir driver, but I wondered how could I check the status of the card/disks as Storcon is not available for FreeBSD 4.x (I run 7.0) ?

utilities for intel SRCZCR RAID adapter
Does anyone know if any of the RAID utilities in the ports works with the Intel SRCZCR RAID adapter? I know intel usually uses either Adaptec or LSI chips usually, but I don't know what chip is used on this adapter or if the utilities will even work on this adapter.

These are the controller I have in two of my servers ... Its used to use the storcon utility, but the storcon utility hasn't been ported up to 6.x yet, at least I haven't been able to get it to work yet ... IF anyone has any experiences with storcon+6.x, please post :) Marc G. Fournier Hub.Org Networking Services (http://www.hub.org) Email . [EMAIL PROTECTED] MSN .

Re: utilities for intel SRCZCR RAID adapter
Does storcon work in 5.X? One server I have this RAID adapter in is still in 5.X. I don't see it in the ports. -Derek At 04:26 PM 8/15/2006, Marc G.
