RE: RAID Cards
Option 6 for Freebsd boot up screen is "drop to boot commandline". It basically lets you set certain options so the system can load properly. I.E. it's running 100% off the CD at that moment and if you want to turn acpi off prior to boot you can. Fail because whatever Linux I try (I prefer FreeBSD) the OS can't see the raid as a valid drive. Each OS asks what drive to install to but when you look to choose which one the Raid is never in the list of option to begin loading on. > -Original Message- > From: Bruce Burden [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Sunday, June 26, 2005 7:10 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; 'Bob Bomar' > Subject: Re: RAID Cards > > On Sun, Jun 26, 2005 at 12:21:02PM -0600, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > I can say my experience with adaptec 3200s cards has not been the most > > fruitful.

Of course, I haven't tried to boot my RAID, it only contains user directories. When the Adaptec 3210S POST screen comes up, does it should one logical disk?

Just because there is no monitoring tool available due to lack of support, doesn't mean the card itself is bad. I much prefer hardware implementation than software.

When you have a dual Xeon setup, you are more likely to be bound by disk than CPU. And a RAID that you can not monitor is a BAD RAID. The biggest thing that bothers me about my current environment is that I have remotely-deployed machines with RAIDs and I can't tell when a disk goes bad unless I visit the datacenter. Last time I was there I had a RAID card throwing an audible alarm, even though nothing was wrong. I had to reboot a critical system to fix that. If you can implement it in software, then its worth the headaches you'll avoid with hardware dependencies. If you're concerned at CPU overhead, spend the cash you would have spent on a RAID card and upgrade your CPU.

Re: RAID Cards
It's not only CPU factor, I don't trust software RAID. As for monitoring, I can tell whether or not a drive is dead via SAFTE chip and all SCSI RAID cards support SAFTE and a proper SCSI server would have SAFTE support. As for SATA, the 3ware cards have 3dm tool to monitor the array. -Simon On Thu, 30 Jun 2005 13:57:44 -0700, Danny Howard wrote: >On Thu, Jun 30, 2005 at 04:48:18PM -0400, Simon wrote: > >> Just because there is no monitoring tool available due to lack of >> support, doesn't mean the card itself is bad.
