Raid controller support

2010-08-03 Thread Kenny du Toit
Hi there

I would like to install FReebsd with a raid controller card. Can you tell me if 
these two cards are supported:

1. Intel RAID Controller SRCSASRB
2. Promise EX 8650

Regards
Kenny

This should work with the mfi(4) driver, since it uses a 'LSI Logic 1078',
according to 
http://www.intel.com/Products/Server/RAID-controllers/SRCSASRB/SRCSASRB-specifications.htm

 2. Promise EX 8650

According to
http://www.promise.com/support/download_file.aspx?rsn=553m=406region=fr-FR
it should work. There are drivers available for download here:

Latest is for 7.1, though, and it is binary only. :-( Better skip this one...
