Hp/Compaq DL360 with SCSI

Hi, I am trying to install Arch on a HP (formerly Compaq) DL360 1U server.
The problem is that setup can't see the disks attached to the reaid controller, presumably because it does not have a driver for it.
Has anyone else done this, if so how was it fixed?
If not, how do I get support for it? Do I need to compile a new kernal for it? If so is there a readme or something that will help.
I do have access to many working arch box's.
Many thanks
Benedict White

I installed a RHEL-knockoff (TaoLinux) onto a DL380,
it reports the following through LSPCI:

Does this help any? I haven't tried to install arch on one of these yet.

Solaris x86 on Compaq DL360 (P21) server

I am having issues installing this OS on the server in the title... it is a DL360 with Dual PIII 998 processors and 1.4G RAM.
I setup the RAID controller at statup to use RAID1 with 2 x 36G drives.... and then boot from the Solaris Disk 1 (no the installer disk)...
I am using the RAID controller driver supplied from Compaq for Solaris 8 and at the first stage it successfully is added during the installation process....
The process goes through as per expected, setup network, setup drive layout and even install required OS modules.. then it happens....
... the request to insert the disk holding file CPQARY2 pops up, disk is inserted but the message 'file cannot be found on disk' is returned....
Silly thing is that the system has already used this driver from this disk to load the HDD RAID conntroller info into memory... it even installs to the disks with no problems....
Is this an issue because the drivers are for Sol8 and not 9??... and does anyone know where and if I can get the drivers for 9??.. they are not on the website for this server model....

did you make any experiance regarding Solaris 10 X86 ?No, but...
Unfortunately there is no Solaris 10 driver for the
built in SmartArray of the DL360 (P21) available.... I expect that the same workaround is OK for Solaris 10, that is,
rename the DU/sol_28 directory to DU/sol_210 on HP's driver
update floppy.

Please help me with scsi HD Problem

Please help me with scsi HD Problem.
Hi for the life of me I cant resolve this.
I have a ms-6378 ver.3 board with 1.1g AMD
i could not install windows 2000 on a Seagate 73Gig 68 pin SCSI Drive ultra wid. after giveing up i added a IDE HD and install win2k SP2 and added the SCSI card all still worked ok
but as soon as i added the hardrive it locks up and it will
not compleat the load of win2k and tried a smoler drive 18Gig 68 pin SCSI Drive. but it will not load windows 2000. i am stumpt. ;(

It sounds like an IRQ conflict. Make sure you diable the primary and secondary channels for the IDE ports to free up the IRQ resources for the SCSI drives. If you are using a separate SCSI controller, make sure it is in the proper PCI slot and does not share IRQ's with other cards.

HP Compaq p6874 with Windows 7 AMD Athlon IIx2 220 Processor

I have HP Compaq p6874 with Windows 7. It has an ATI RAdeon HD 4200 video card. Will the XFX R5 230 Radeon graphics card work in my CPU and fix my gaming issues? Also, what PSU will I need to run that graphics card? Games that I have jerk and the sound stutters. These games are recommended for Windows 7. I would greatly appreciate any help you can give me.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Gamester417, thanks for the additional information.
I do beleive that the card should fit into the case. However, I can't guarantee that it will solve all of your gaming problems.
The card requires a PSU with 450W to operate properly. The PSU in the computer is only 250W. So, the recommendations that I provided in my original would be good.

Please could you tell me what DLT/SDLT/Ultrium series drive works with Sun Fire V880 with SCSI Sun X

Please could you tell me what DLT/SDLT/Ultrium series drive works with Sun Fire V880 with SCSI Sun X6540A?
The question is URGENT because we need to do backup/restore of our Databases but we have not backup device...
We want to buy it but we don't know what exactly drives we can choose for our Sun with X6540A SCSI card.

Hello,
the X6540A is a Dual Single-Ended Ultra/Wide SCSI (PCI) controller. The controller is only upto 40MB/sec, which might be suficient for a SDLT600 or LTO-2.
Every Single-Ended SCSI device works with this card, but performance would be low when using LVD/SE devices (some LVD devices can't operate in SE mode!)
I would suggest that you call Sun Sales.
I guess that the PCI/PCI-X Dual Ultra320 SCSI Adapter (SG-XPCI2SCSI-LM320) or PCI Dual Ultra3 SCSI Host Adapter (LVD) (X6758A) are a better choice if attaching more recent drives.

Comm API with SCSI

Can the Javax Comm Api support SCSI??? There is any API that works with SCSI?

No, the comm API is for use with the serial ports etc. I don't think there is an API to work specifically with SCSI, unless you use JNI to call platform specific OS libraries.

Stumped!!! How do I install OS9 on a G4 QS 2002 with SCSI???

OK, this has got me beat! and I've been working with all manner of macs for 20 years! My experience of post-ADB, post-Serial Port, post-SCSI II, 'modern' macs of the 21st century is limited to powerbooks though [blush]
So, here's the quandary; In an earlier post I described how I'd purchased a G4 Dual 1Ghz Quicksilver 2002 with a Build-to-Order Apple SCSI option in order to run my Digidesign pro Tools gear in MacOS 9.2.2. Well, the boot drive is a 72GB Seagate Cheater attached to the factory installed UL3D ATTO card. I've installed OS X 10.4.4 successfully, but try as I might I cannot for the life of me figure out how I'm supposed to install OS9. When I insert the install CD and click on the installer it wants to load Classic, but doesn't find it! Duh! So no problem I think, I set the CD as my start-up volume and restart. This time I'm greeted by the OS9 desktop, but no bootup drive to install OS9 onto! Drive Setup can see the device, but says it cannot be mounted. Does is require ATTO drivers? That's crazy, I thought OS9 was built on SCSI. I can't find ATTO drivers online, or figure how I would install them before installing an OS.
So next problem, I restart and hold down Option, but the USB Apple keyboard doesn't seem to like key combinations because about 20 times in a row I keep rebooting back to the CD drive. My old ADB keyboard was never this unresponsive. Furthermore, how on earth do you force the CD to eject of these button-less towers? I finally managed it by holding the mouse down, but that only works in certain circumstances.
OK, so I figure I need to drag and drop an entire OS9 System Folder from my other G4 QS via an external drive over USB. That was successful, and now Startup Disk in the system sees an OS9 startup option as well as an OSX on the SCSI boot drive. so I figure I'm in business and select OS9 and restart. Now I'm in a whole world of pain! I'm greeted with the flashing '?' icon at boot up because clearly it cannot find the system. Well, you'd think that after a while it would just give up and start from OSX which is obviously sitting there waiting. Well NO! It just flashes forever. No amount of reboots will get it off this. I tried all sort of key combinations, but they don't seem to work, until cmd-x seemed to do it. However a couple of hours were wasted. It's also annoying not having a good old-fashioned restart button on my keyboard.
So anyway, how did Apple expect me to install OS 9 on this if their own installer CD doesn't even see their factory installed boot drive?

Well, I can confirm that that worked, however it was not as intuitive as it should have been, and can easily be overlooked.
Basically when you install Tiger and click on the Options box it allows you perform a 'Clean Install', and 'Erase Disk' etc where you are given only one option for formatting: Unix or HFS+ Journaling. At no point does it present you with an option to install OS9 drivers, and neither does it install them by default!
In order to install the OS9 compatibility you have to dismiss the OSX 10.4 installer script and open Disk Utility from the Utilities menu where you can perform the exact same task, but this time with an additional check box to install OS9 drivers! And irony or ironies, this time it's pre-selected by default! Talk about convoluted and counter-intuitive...
Anyway, thanks for the help Tom. That saved me another couple of nights

How can I connect a DLT-IV Tape drive with SCSI interface to Quad G5?

I have had no problems with my "Quantum equivalent La Cie DLT-IV Tape drive" on OSX connected to the G4 Quicksilver using an Adaptec 2930CU PCI card - but I can't move that to the G5 as it has to be PCI-Express cards as far as I can tell.
Adaptec pre-sales support inform me that Adaptec have no Mac support in their current product range.
Has anyone found a solution to this connection requirement that will work with Retrospect and DVD StudioPro?
If there is a workable solution which is no longer available to buy - I would still be interested in knowing so I could scour ebay for it.
TIA,
Richard

Hi Richard;
If you go to ATTO, they are offering a ExpressPCI PSC which include a SCSI bus on sale for $24.11.

Is it possible to upgrade the Mac Pro with SCSI/SAS drives?

Hi guys I am considering to move on to a Mac Pro from my old PC.
The Mac Pro enclosure is quite unique in its hard drive holders as no cables are used and all drives are connected with a plugin mechanism.
So I am curious if that will allow me to upgrade to a SCSI/SAS storage system which requires cable connections between drives and the SCSI/SAS card on the PCI-E slot. I dont know if this will be possible with the Mac Pro enclosure.
Has anyone tried to do this？
Btw is there any Ultra320 or SAS(preferably) interface card available for Mac OS X?

The connectors for SATA drives can be used with SAS drives. However, the controller needs to be SAS compatible. I have never installed a SAS drive in the Mac Pro bay to see what happens. If some one has a SAS drive and wants to try this I would be interested in the results.
My guess is that the Mac Pro would not see the drive.
Areca sells the Mac Pro PCIe bootable ARC-1680 SAS controller in several configurations. This controller allows the user to utilize SAS or SATA hard drives connected to the card. The ARC-1680x comes with two external mini SAS connectors that can support eight direct connect hard drives or up to 128 devices (in theory) when used with SAS expanders.
The ARC-1680LP has one internal mini SAS port and one external mini SAS port. I looked at the Mac Pro internal SATA connectors and they can unscrew from the frame but there is only about 1/2" of clearance in that area of the case. In addition, I would want the hot swap bays to still operate and I did not see an easy way to patch into the existing SATA connectors. It would be nice if the Mac Pro factory connectors used snap on SATA connector on the back of the backplane so that users could interface the 4 SATA bays with an internal PCie controller. However, its hard wired in the existing configuration. With the new Mac Pro PCIe RAID 5 card on the market there must be alternative connectors that allow this type of installation to work properly.
Based on the ease at which the Areca SAS controller can be added as an external using the ARC-1680x I went with that option. I am using it with eight direct connect SATA hard drives now. I plan to expand the storage by adding a SAS expander in the form of a hub or an enclosure with SAS capabilities. I have been looking at a 16 bay SAS enclosure but I am not sure how loud it will be
Details on the ARC-1680 can be found here:
http://www.areca.com.tw/products/pcietosas1680series.htm
Its very cool to have SAS or SATA capability along with a bootable card that can support tons of hard drives and RAID levels 0, 1,1E, 3, 5, 6, 10, 30, 50, 60 or JBOD . I booted the Mac Pro with a 2TB Mac OS X 10.4.10 RAID 6 volume and ran Xbench. It shows a 400MB/sec. hard drive setup and raises the overall Xbench score substantially.
While I doubt I will boot the Mac Pro from the RAID 6 volume much, it is very cool that that function is available. This is the only PCIe host adapter I have found with boot capabilities besides Apples new $999 4 port SATA internal card. SAS has lots of expansion capabilities. Users that want pretty much unlimited hard drive connectivity will enjoy the new ARC-1680x.
Have fun!

Problems with SCSI-Firewire adapter

Hi- I recently bought a 500 gig hard drive that was apparently not compatible with the ATA card I had in my G4 and it caused both my start-up hard drive and my back-up internal hard drive to crash beyond recovery. I've bought a G5 but now realize that my VERY expensive SCSI drum scanner needs to work on my G4. I had the SCSI cable of the scanner run into a Belkin Firewire to SCSI (part F5U541) and then the firewire ran into my G4. Worked perfectly. I've installed a new hard drive on the G4 and all of the software that I had on it but now (running OS 10.3.9 like before the crash), for some reason, the computer doesn't recognize the scanner. (The driver for the Belkin adapter is only OS 9 and didn't seem to make a difference before.) At the moment the only software I have installed is the scanner software and the OS.
Here's the strange part- when I go into System Profile the computer recognizes that a device is going into the Firewire port. When I start up the scanner software (Color Quartet 5.2.1) it says that the computer does not recognize any devices. This is the strangest part- last week the computer recognized the scanner for about an hour and then stopped.
Does anyone know of drivers or files on the OS X.3.9 that could be causing this problem or what might the problem even be?
I really need to get this scanner back up and working. Any help would be appreciated.
Best,
Joe

Thanks for the input but using the digital camera
isn't really an option. This is an 11,000 dpi drum
scanner with an amazing dynamic range.
wow....If its a ScanView 11000, then it needs SCSI-II, which the 2906 card is not.
Also, Viewscan is not an option because this scanner
And Viewscan doesnt support drum scanners....
Like I said before, I had the scanner working at
10.3.9 at one time. Now that I have a new hard drive
and have installed 10.3.9 the scanner won't
work...does anyone know of what might be the problem?
Does your Belkin adapter require a driver of any sort?
I just did some poking around on colorquartet software.
(at least one version) requires a hardware dongle. Does yours?

Master 3 with scsi

I am interested in purchasing a master 3 or similar board, and keeping finding myself back to this forum. I am new to scsi and raid. I have just installed raid1 on two sata drives on my current computer, but I am not content with the speed. I was wondering how many scsi devices can be installed on the master 3 as is, and if raid can be configured using the scsi connections.

Well, as far as I know it's SCSI-320 that's on the board.
So it should be able to connect at least 15 drive's to it, depends a bit on the controller because it could be even more
Don't forget the put a terminator at the end of the cable or the entire chain will get unstable.
For Raid 0+1 you need 4! drive's....
Better use RAID5 as that one will do with 3 drive's min and give mostly the best speed.
With 3 drive's in RAID 5, you get about the speed of 2x normal (1 disk) and it has a very good fault tolerance, you can take 1 drive out and put a new one in (while running!!!!!) and the RAID array can be rebuild during running, no need to shutdown at all....
The only thing is, all 3 drive's (or more if you like) must be the same size or bigger then the smallest one, as the size of the smallest will be used to build the array.

Controller issue on Compaq DL360 (First Generation)

I just don't want to warm up this old thread here, but meanwhile: Is there any known solution/workaround for the problem, that an installation of sol 10 on machines of this type (or DL370s/DL380s, using the same controller) fails, ending up in the 'no disks found' problem?
I assume, I am not the only one who experienced the fact, that the folder renaming procedure of the somewhat older driver disks supplied by HP (cpqary2 for the integrated smart array controller, contained in Compaq SoftPaq SP21874, V 1.70A for Solaris 8, http://h18023.www1.hp.com/support/files/server/us/download/16328.html) doesn't help any further.

did you make any experiance regarding Solaris 10 X86 ?No, but...
Unfortunately there is no Solaris 10 driver for the
built in SmartArray of the DL360 (P21) available.... I expect that the same workaround is OK for Solaris 10, that is,
rename the DU/sol_28 directory to DU/sol_210 on HP's driver
update floppy.

Add driver on Solaris10, problems with SCSI/DAT

Hi,
I am a newbie on solaris. But i have to do some tests. Therefore my questions:
I installed solaris10 on a celsius pc(x86). I build in a scsi pci card. I connected a dat drive. Now I find no hardware device for this dat.With the command cfgadm i can only see the usb devices. So it is necessary to add the driver for this scsi card?Where i can do this?
Thanks for your help!!!

Of cause you need a driver for the scsi pci card.
Assuming Solaris already includes the correct driver for the scsi
pci card: run "devfsadm -v" to let the system probe for new hardware
and create device nodes for the new detected hardware.
Without a driver for the scsi adapter the hardware cannot be used.
Check the vendor's web site; a few offer Solaris drivers that you
must install before you can use the scsi hardware.

Newbie:Problems with SCSI root disk

Hello
I have periodic problems with no matter what disk I put in my root partition. My Sun has several disks, so I can take another disk not being used and configure it as my new root disk, installing Solaris root on it.
But when, this way, I replace the disk by another "fresh" disk and reinstall Solaris all goes Ok during some time (days or months) until suddenly I get I/O Errors allways in that disk.
I use a E250 with Solaris8. The problem also arises with Solaris7.
If I do a probe-scsi-all at ok prompt I frequently see hardware errors in that disk. All those errors where not present previously when my disk wan't the root.
What is corrupting my disks a I use them?
Am I missing something when I put a new disk? Should I change the ID of my previous SCSI disk?
If so, how?
Thanks

Are you using the disks in the same slot? It may be the controller....

All my X6250s hang in ESX 3.5 U5 with SCSI "command error recovery failed"

After installing a pair of Virtualized Network Expansion Modules (X4238) in our Blade 6000 chassis, my ESX 3.5 Update 5 hosts will randomly fail with the error "scsi: device might be offline - command error recovery failed: host 5 channel 0 id 0 lun 0." This does not represent LUNS on our Sun/Qlogic FC hbas (PCIe dual 4Gig). The old Dell blades sharing the FC LUNs are not experiencing any SCSI errors whatsoever. It appears to me this is referring to the VNEM's SAS fabric, but we have no SAS drive modules in the chassis. Is the fact that it sees other hosts on this fabric causing issues? I'd like to disable the SAS fabric, but don't see a way to do this via the BIOS or VNEM ILOM. Do you think I'm barking up the wrong tree?
Thanks,
Charles

Yes, I had updated the blade firmware to the current provided (though I see reference to a newer version in the docs, but not at the download site). However, it seems related to interrupt sharing with the NXGE card/driver under ESX 3.5. I have an open case with Sun, and while they suspected a known issue with the aacraid driver (ESX350-201003402-BG), that had already been installed. They're now asking to create a case with VMware. In the meantime, I've tested a pair of our X6250s without the NXGE, installing the original quad port GigE NIC (Intel). Those hosts are very stable. It may not be the VNEM at all, but I'll keep you posted.
