Hey,

I have a couple Adaptec 2410SA Raid cards (aac driver) and I was
wondering if anyone has had any luck with being able to hotswap
drives in FreeBSD 6?
If the Adaptec card is no good for hot swapping under FreeBSD,
what's the recommended brand?

Thanks
Daniel


I've 2230SLP which hot-swapped no problem under FBSD 5.4

and I doubt

it'll have issues with 6.x . Though performance write speed

is very bad!

Did you use the aaccli tool to initiate/powerdown the drives
and rebuild the array?


Nope, didn't need to do. Just removed the hot-swap drive, replaced  
it. The controller picked-up the new drive and rebuilt the RAID.  
This was RAID-5.


The aaccli tool stopped working with the latest card firmware, so  
now there is no way to manage the card from within FreeBSD.


Are you using the FreeBSD aaccli or the Linux aaccli under the linux  
compatibility stuff?


Try the aaccli from Linux (download from Adaptec directly).  I have  
the latest 2200s firmware and it works fine from FreeBSD.
