Is there any hardware RAID (SCSI) that is fully supported?

2004-05-07 Thread Peter Schuller
Hello,

is there any hardware SCSI RAID controller that is fully supported in FreeBSD? 
By fully supported I mean being able to monitor and talk to the controller 
on a live system in order to initiate a rebuild on a replace drive and such.

Mylex/Adaptec seems to be a dead end, LSI's MegaRAIDs I'm not sure about. 
Anything else out there?

If you build your kernel with Linux compatibility, then you can use the 
Linux command line (and probably the browser edition) of the Adaptec 
stuff for the aac based controllers like the 2200S.

The adaptec command line tools for the 2100s have worked pretty well 
for me

LSI's MegaRAIDs I'm not sure about.

Adaptec; I think that is what the Dell PERC controllers use (just 
rebranded?).  There' s a CLI utility that was ported from the Linux 
world...aacli I think is what it is called (or something similar to 
it).  Although I haven't had to try the actual rebuild from the CLI 
(THANK $DEITY, knock on wood...), the command line program does talk to 
the controller for information.

Try digging around for what the PERC controllers use for their 
chipset...
