Have a look at arcconf (sysutils/arcconf) -- it's Adaptec's newer tool and should support both older and newer firmware; aaccli stopped working as of a certain version and I think Adaptec has no plans to work on it any longer. If you really want to use aaccli, you can downgrade the firmware on the new card -- of course, you'll have to use arcconf to do that step. The firmware version should be printed on a verbose boot. -Ed ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I've since decided that the Adaptec + Dell array solution was completely sub-standard performance and stability and management wise. It has been replaced with an external RAID array from Partners Data systems and connected to the same Sun box via an LSI fibre channel card. It is faster and much easier to manage. I will not be buying Adaptec parts any more since they obviously don't give a hoot about freebsd, where as LSI goes out of their way to provide engineers to help out with freebsd issues. It is important for us as a community to show support where support is due. ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I did a diff of the adaptec sources and the ones in freebsd 6.2- PRERELEASE and there are mostly minor differences (the device name changes, for example.) I'm in touch with Scott Long regarding sponsoring some work in this area to create a command line utility for monitoring the status on these new controllers. He's waiting for some libraries from Adaptec at this point. If you're interested in sharing the cost of this work please let me know. So far everyone else who's contacted me regarding this issue has not committed any money, which is fine. If I have to pay for the whole thing I will, because I believe in giving back to the community.
