We have a Dell 1850 with a PERC4/DC controller. When I try installing OpenBSD
3.8, I am having some troubles. 3.8 will sees the card as with the mpt0
driver. Which will not recognize my RAID1 config. The hardware compatibility
guide tells me the mpt0 is support for a standard scsi card.
I've only had the priv. to run OpenBSD on the 750 and 850 1Us from Dell.
However I have a number of FreeBSD 5.3x hosts on single and dual-proc 1850
models, some with RAID and some with standard SCSI.
The standard SCSI config (on which I run software RAID) probes as:
NAME
mpt(4) -- LSI
You need to do some reading on the BIOS settings of the 1850. There
is an option in there where you can switch from SCSI (mpt) to RAID
(ami) mode and back. The trick is that it requires a so called RAID
key for this functionality to work. This is a purchase option;
don't know if you
