I have just built a new SunFire X4100 server with an Adaptec 2230SLP
RAID card using FreeBSD 6.2-PRE kernel (from September 20).
Everything is working extremely well except I cannot run the aaccli
utility on this controller. When I try to open the controller, it
gives this error:
Command Error: <The current AFAAPI.DLL is too old to work with the
current controller software.>
On my other X4100 with the same RAID card but FreeBSD 6.0, aaccli
works just fine. On my 6.2-PRE with a different aac(4) supported
RAID card, it runs fine.
There seems to be no difference in the card (other than they added a
"R" to the part number to indicate it is compatible with new
recycling environmental regulations).
This is a HUGE problem since there is no way to probe the system to
check on the health of the RAID subsystem disk drives, as aac(4)
doesn't log anything to syslog on disk failure or recover, etc.
Any help would be appreciated. All I *really* need is a program to
tell me if the disk system is degraded (and which drive is bad) or
optimal. I don't really need to reconfigure the array.
The dmesg on the X4100 where aaccli works has this to say about the
aac controller:
