SATA RAID Controller under Solaris 10
I want to set up my Sun Ultra AXMP on a SATA RAID5, but i did not find yet a controller wich is supported by Solaris 10.
I already looked for support on the Adaptec 2410SA and all other Adaptec Controlleres (searched here: http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/hcl/search.jsp), but did only find one wich is only supporting 2 drives...
Are there any Controllers wich are supported by Solaris 10 OS and are RAID5 ready?
If they are only supported by other Solaris versions, its also ok.
Hi,
Thank you for the information. As you said from the behavior it seems that the build-in drivers of Windows Server Technical Preview will not work with the specific motherboard hence the RAID1 cannot work well.
I'll log the issue down.
If you have any feedback on our support, please send to [email protected]

Oracle Ent. Linux drivers for HP Smart Array B110i Sata Raid Controller
Trying to install Oracle Ent. Linux (OEL) release 4 update 8 on HP DL 180 G6 server. Where we can find OEL drivers for the sata raid controller ?
(HP Smart Array B110i Sata Raid Controller)
Thanks in advance.The HP support side shows a Linux certification matrix at: http://h18000.www1.hp.com/products/servers/linux/hplinuxcert.html
From there you can also download the necessary drivers and instructions or use HP smartstart CD which prepares the system for the OS you need to install. Oracle Enterprise Linux is binary compatible with RHEL. You will need to click on "Archive" to see support for Enterprise Linux version 4 and older.

Intel(R) ESB2 SATA RAID Controller not working out of the box
Dear all,
I'm using, for my tests, an old server with a supermicro X7DBN Server motherboard.
This motherboard comes with an embedded Intel(R) ESB2 SATA RAID Controller.
When I try a native installation from the technical preview DVD it sees the RAID1 volume that has been created (2 disk mirror) but when I select it to proceed with the installation there is an unknown error stating that it's impossible to write to this disk.
The same installation works perfectly with 2012R2 and the out of the box driver provided bin the install media.
An update from the previously installed 2012R2 to the Windows Server Technical Preview also works without problem.
It would make sens for MS to revert to the driver version embedded in 2012R2 for Intel(R) ESB2 SATA RAID Controller which is:
Name : Intel(R) ESB2 SATA RAID Controller
Date : 10.08.2010
Version : 8.6.2.1025
inf section : iaStor_Inst_RAID
Device ID : PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2682&CC_0104Hi,
Thank you for the information. As you said from the behavior it seems that the build-in drivers of Windows Server Technical Preview will not work with the specific motherboard hence the RAID1 cannot work well.

Need software for Intel ESB2 SATA RAID Controller for Windows 2012rR
I have installed Windows 2012r2 on my HP XW8600 and I found the software for the LSI Adapter (SAS 3000 series) but I am unable to find the software for management of the Intel ESB2 SATA RAID controller. The only software I could find was listed as a Windows 7 application but will not install onto my Windows 2012r2. Thank You
That looks exactly like the software I tried and an error reported this software will not install on this platform. I will try again tonite and see what happens. I will test all the apps on that list starting with the latest and see what happens. I thank you for your help.

KT4 Ultra (6590) need update of the Promise SATA RAID Controller PDC20376
The last Bios update AMI 1.4 for the KT4 Ultra (6590) have built in the bios version 1.00.0.18 for the PDC20376 (Promise 376).
I can configure 2 maxtor (6E040T0) sata1 in a raid0 array and it works under WinXP SP3,
but the 2 drives are working in UDMA5 according to the FastBuild Utility when the motherboard specifications talks about 150Mb (SATA1).
It's not an OS problem because the FastBuild Utility at Bios startup show the UDMA5 mode for HDD.
It's not a Maxtor 6E040T0 (SATA1) problem because have no jumper to set.
The Promise support center don't provide support for built in raid controller but the responce was that it's related to a known bios issue of the controller, so i have to update.
For the last Bios version for the S150 TX4 controller look at:
http://promise.com/support/download/download2_eng.asp?productId=108&category=all&os=100&go=GO
It's impossible to update the bios with the promise tool because the controller is integrated in the motherboard.
I read for example than on the motherboard K7N2 Delta-ILSR the bios version of the Promise 376 controller is 1.00.0.21:
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=92756.msg665966#msg665966
I think the only solution is a modding bios, where i have to replace only the Promise controller bios but:
1) The tool amibcp.exe can't open the A6590VMS.140 AMI bios (renamed .rom), i don't know why!!!
2) What promise controller bios rom file is good?
Can anyone out there help . . . please ?This is my results compared to my other UDMA6 HDD on IDE1, HDTach long bench stop with "Read Error" and only quick bench works.
The version of the Controller driver under WinXP-SP3 is 1.0.1.29 and I configured the driver in the PAM Utility with:
"Driver Write Cache" enabled and "Write Back" as cache settings (The 2 Maxtor SATA1 in RAID have 2MB of cache, but i don't know How many cache have the controller!!).
The Burst Speed is too strange!!! quick bench error?
I made it so your image is clickable.

Promise PDC20579 SATA/RAID controller
I'm trying to get the piece of shit working with Linux, but haven't had any luck. I'm not sure which Promise add-on cards use this chip as this one is built into my mobo, where it provides 2-SATA and 1-PATA port. I'm using the PATA with 2 drives (160GB, 60GB) and I don't want to setup a RAID array, but just use it as an extra IDE controller.
The BIOS detects the drives correctly but linux doesn't recognize the Promise controller, so it's not assigning device nodes for the drives (no hd* or sd*) and I can't seem to make it work. The correct kernel module, according to the net, is sata_promise, but I'm not certain it supports the PATA part of the controller. When loaded, it prints info about the connected drives to dmesg, but never assigns device nodes.Okay, so I found a patch in the Red Hat kernel mailing list that seems to work. It patches the sata-promise module to attempt to detect PATA ports when nothing is connected via SATA. I don't have any SATA discs so I cannot check to see if it breaks anything in regards to SATA.
If anyone else is interested, I'll strip the RH specific stuff from the patch and submit it to the Arch kernel devs for review. Not sure if enough people would find is useful tho. -
Promise 20376 SATA Raid Controller Drivers?
Hi I'm trying to install WinXP with an K7N2GM2 - ILSR board and I'm having problems with the SATA drivers I've downloaded (from http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/driver/dvr/spt_dvr_list.php?part=1&kind=4&CHIP=4&COM=19). The 'make disk' instructions included is a bit awkward but I tried putting the different files on a floppy several different ways, but to no avail. When windows asks for a floppy to install the sata drivers, it reads the disk for a while and returns back to the 'insert a disk and hit ENTER.' I went to Promise's website and download some drivers from there but again to no avail, the drivers included on the CD with the mb have not worked either.
Just to make sure I'm simply not putting the correct files on floppy or not putting them in the proper directory structure, I'll give you an example of what I have put on the floppy:
WinXP <-Folder containing drivers
txtsetup.oem
ULSATA
fasttx2k
and the text files like 'makedisk'
I've also taken all of the files out of the WinXP directory and had all files in the same location A:\ . I'm not sure what to do at this point, I'm adept with computers and I know that sata can be finiky, but this one going nowhere fast. Could somebody help? BTW I'm only using one HD, a WD 80GB Sata HD which I had to put in an array ('functioning').http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_detail.php?UID=398

hi guys, didnt find any new posting about this, I just found out one of my mirror drive is damage and my controller is running in degraded mode. question is how to replace faulty HDD without losing data, this is no software that comes with the machine that allows me to do that like the servers do. When i go to BIOS, everything says it will destroy all data and I wasnt sure it means destroy ALL or just the broken raid drive?
Anyone tried?losmeme wrote:
Yes, it will destroy the data. Most HDD manufacturers have programs that will mirror drives for you. If you have a Western Digital HDD, download the Acronis True Image software from HERE.
Ah, what is then the point of having RAID??? Actually solution exists, check Link for example.
P.S. Always have backup copy of your data. RAID is not backup. Many things can go wrong, not just HDDs.

SATA RAID conflics with POMISE T3 RAID Bios
I've read quite a few of the RAID setup issues concerning the "Extra" RAID settings under "integrated peripherals" for the K9A2 Platinum. My problem seems to be a bit unique. I can't get both the SATA RAID and the Promise "Fast Track" to work together. If I enable the Extra RAID Controllers the Fastrack Bios does not recognize my SATA RAID.
This simply means that for some reason the motherboard SATA RAID conflicts or disables the PROMISE RAID Bios and vice versa. So I have not been able to activate my eSATA ports or use anything connected to the SATA5-6 ports without going into the CMOS and setting SATA DEVICES to IDE and then turning on the EXTRA Raid Controller under "Integrated Peripherals" in the CMOS. Unless I'm wrong. I am almost sure that this scenario is right.
The second issue is that I cannot get my ram to go in DUAL CHANNEL mode. But I will post that issue another time.
thx

2 ext (USB/eSATA) hard Drives (eSATA will not work because these ports are controlled by the PROMISE T3 Bios)With Vista Ultimate SP1 on my machine the USB Flasher Tool kept on crashing when the BIOS was at v 1.2 on the KA92 mainboard.
The DOS window came up fine but it appeared that every susequent module that was brought up for detecting the motherboard caught some kind of conlfict and terminated causing Vista to summon the program terminated message box. Eventually the dos prompt would state that it could not detect the motherboard and close. All in red text. This happened only when I flashed the BIOS with v1.2. I wanted to go back to 1.3 just to verify that the BIOS version was the cause and the only reason I got back to 1.3 or 1.4 easily was becaus it was backed up by the tool so all I had to do was rename the backup.bin file(s). Again everything went as expected with the USB Flasher Tool until I loaded the v1.2 BIOS. It could not even detect the mainboard.
The only reason I didn't need the tool anymore was that it backed up the versions of the bios for each time that I had flashed the bios previously.

I recently installed a sata raid controller in my new solaris 10 box. It is based on the sil-3114 chipset. Unfortunatly Solaris does not recognize either of the sata drives that are connected to it. When I do prtconf -pv the device shows up (I think) with the following information:

Thank you for your help.ok, I gave devfsadm a shot. Nothing spectacular happened.
I also peaked in /var/adm/messages and got the following:

RAID controller on G4; problems... is RAID dead? Help please!
Hey.
Here's the deal... Our graphics department has a MAC G4 (fully upgraded. newest patches, OS, etc.) that's got a 4 port SATA RAID controller. They use this with four 750GB hard drives as an external RAID (the OS is on a seperate, 65GB hard drive). The way it's set up, through Apple's OS, is we have the four 750GBs in pairs... those pairs are striped, and then the two sets of striped 750s are mirrored. This has worked just fine for a number of months, but we recently had a power surge, and now we're unable to mount "Monkey" (the name of the 1.4TB array).
See the below screenshots for more clarification.
http://www.amcdoors.com/lorenzo/raidsetup.JPG
This shows the RAID card, and the four SATA cables coming out of it.
http://www.amcdoors.com/lorenzo/leftside1.JPG
As you can see in this and the below screenshots, this shows the 1.4TB Striped set as 'online', but the two below (the two 750GB hard drives) show up as "offline".
http://www.amcdoors.com/lorenzo/leftside2.JPG
this shows the actual drive i click on. same thing
http://www.amcdoors.com/lorenzo/leftside3a.JPG
If i click the entire array, you can see how it's set up (the Mirrored RAID set consisting of the two Striped RAID sets). The RAID sets (all 3 of them) are showing up as online, yet the drives are offline. No idea why. The drives are all powered, and are spinning, and plugged in.
http://www.amcdoors.com/lorenzo/leftside3b.JPG
when you click "Monkey Drive", nothing shows up in it. i don't remember if anything ever used to. if you click 'mount', nothing happens.
http://www.amcdoors.com/lorenzo/leftside4.JPG
http://www.amcdoors.com/lorenzo/leftside5.JPG
this shows the exact same problem as the first RAID set.
http://www.amcdoors.com/lorenzo/verifyRAIDset1.JPG
If you try to Verify the RAID set, it shows that no repairs are necessary
http://www.amcdoors.com/lorenzo/verifymonkey.JPG
If you try to verify Monkey, you get a "Volume Needs Repair" error... but when you try to repair it, you get this:
http://www.amcdoors.com/lorenzo/repairmonkey.JPG
Really need help; this is a pretty critical problem. Someone that's familar with RAID solutions on MACs please help me out. We can't risk losing any data if at all possible.
Thanks
~Lorenzohave you gotten this to work yet ?? if not let me know
