Colleagues,
I have several Supermicro-based servers with the mpt RAID adapter:
# mptutil show adapter
mpt0 Adapter:
Board Name: UNUSED
Board Assembly:
Chip Name: C1068E
Chip Revision: UNUSED
RAID Levels: none
#
The problem is, I cannot configure any RAIDs (please see output
below) from FreeBSD. If I configure volumes from BIOS setup, FreeBSD
still sees them as separate physical discs. What am I doing wrong?
I cannot use gmirror with these servers because a) if no MPT RAID is
configured in BIOS setup, it cannot boot from HDD and b) if an MPT
RAID *is* configured in BIOS setup, it occupies the last sector and
prevents GEOM from working with these drives.
Any help please? (or redirect me to a more appropriate maillist).
# mptutil clear
Are you sure you wish to clear the configuration on mpt0? [y/N] y
mpt0: Configuration cleared
