Hi list.

It's about one week that mpt-statusd daemon running on a PE840 (equipped 
with SCSI storage controller: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic SAS1068 PCI-X 
Fusion-MPT SAS (rev 01), OS Debian Lenny) is sending me many mails.

$ sudo dpkg -l | grep mpt-status
ii  mpt-status                          1.2.0-4.2

First it sends me a mail with this body (the subject is "info: mpt raid 
status change on mybox"):

This is a RAID status update from mpt-statusd.  The mpt-status
program reports that one of the RAIDs changed state:

Report from /etc/init.d/mpt-statusd on mybox

then after about 10' it sends me another mail with the same subject and 
this body:

This is a RAID status update from mpt-statusd.  The mpt-status
program reports that one of the RAIDs changed state:

ioc0 vol_id 0 type IM, 2 phy, 148 GB, state OPTIMAL, flags ENABLED
ioc0 phy 1 scsi_id 32 ATA      WDC WD1601ABYS-1 6H05, 149 GB, state ONLINE, 
flags NONE
ioc0 phy 0 scsi_id 1 ATA      WDC WD1601ABYS-1 6H05, 149 GB, state ONLINE, 
flags NONE

Report from /etc/init.d/mpt-statusd on mybox


In /var/log/messages I read what follows:

mpt-statusd: detected non-optimal RAID status

and also

kernel: mptbase: ioc0: WARNING - IOC is in FAULT state (1600h)!!!
kernel: mptbase: ioc0: WARNING - Issuing HardReset from 
mpt_fault_reset_work!!

OMSA is telling me nothing about such events, and the server apparently 
runs fine, so I'm asking if I should be seriously worried about. Any 
similar experience in the NG?

In the case I have to upgrade the firmware of the SAS card (my first 
thought), could anybody teach me how to do this in debian?


Thanks.
