Re: Low Profile U320 RAID support
Hi, i have been running with with Adaptec 3410S card on a box and it works very good. /S Hi: I need to build a newer, faster FBSD server to replace one running RAID 1 with an Adaptec 2100s and have the following requirements for the RAID card: 1 channel (2 preferable) U320 SCSI low profile (going into a 2RU box, want to avoid a riser) supported by FreeBSD 4.9 I'm not particularly interested in SATA or zero channel solutions unless I have no other options (experiences with 0 channel RAID welcome), but I can't seem to find anything that meets all of these requirements. The Adaptec 2200S would be ideal, but alas, there's no FreeBSD driver for it. Please respond directly, as I am not subscribed to either list. TIA, James Smallacombe PlantageNet, Inc.

Mine works fine: aac0: Adaptec SCSI RAID 2200S mem 0xf800-0xfbff irq 16 at device 1.0 on pci3 aac0: i960RX 100MHz, 48MB cache memory, optional battery present aac0: Kernel 4.0-0, Build 6003, S/N b8591a aac0: Supported Options=1f7eCLUSTERS,WCACHE,DATA64,HOSTTIME,RAID50,WINDOW4GB,SO FTERR,NORECOND,SGMAP64,ALARM,NONDASD Running on 4.9-R. For reference for the aaccli management interface, (which is otherwise not publicly documented, it seems), you can use the Dell docs for their relabled version: http://docs.us.dell.com/docs/storage/57kgr/cli/en/index.htm I use the linux aaccli, contained in adaptec-smbe-1.01.003-0.i386.rpm I upgraded from a 2100s, as well. Be warned that the aaccli management tools are much /less/ intuitive then the dpt/raidutil. The BIOS-GUI is more painful as well. I haven't tried any of the other management interfaces, though I did try the variety for the 2100s.

Re: Low Profile U320 RAID support
Thanks for your reply, Stefan. Unfortunately, that card is U160 and is not low profile. If I have to settle for U160, I'll probably go with another 2100 (the low profile is more important than 2 channels), but I figure there *has* to be a U320 RAID solution for FreeBSD, I just hope there's a low profile one :-/.
