Problem upgrading to 3.9 - Proliant dl380 g2 with LSI MegaRAID 320-1 RAID-card
Hello list, I'm having problem upgrading a 3.8 stable to 3.9 stable. The server is a Prolian dl380 g2 with a LSI MegaRAID 320-1. When booting the CD it stops right after ami driver is loaded: ami0 at pci3 dev 4 function 0 Symbios Logic MegaRAID rev 0x01: irq 7 Under 3.8 it works great. I have tested to diables the ciss-driver when booting and also disable the onboard smart array card in bios just to see if it changes things. Proliant bios Im using is P29 and MegaRAID bios is from mid 2004. Anyone with same problem? /Jonas

Might be a BIOS problem. Another user with Bios problem: http://archives.neohapsis.com/archives/openbsd/2006-08/1120.html /Jonas

(Also, if you really have P29 firmware, you've got a DL380 G3.) You can find a revision history of the P29 BIOS at http://h18007.www1.hp.com/support/files/server/us/revision/6900.html, make sure you have the 9/15/2004 (4.09) version installed or the machine may crash randomly.

Is LSI LOGIC MegaRAID SCSI 320-1 one of the supported MegaRAID cards on OBSD 3.8? Tnx Per-Olov -- GPG keyID: 4DB283CE GPG fingerprint: 45E8 3D0E DE05 B714 D549 45BC CFB4 BBE9 4DB2 83CE

Yes - 320 and 320-2e are listed and 320-1 isn't. It's probably wise to be cautious before spending several hundred (pounds|dollars|euros|...) on a card. Compare with wireless and ethernet nics. You have to double-check the exact hardware revision and still you can't always tell. And that's for something costing much less than a raid controller. Googling suggests 320-1 is the same as PERC4/SC which is listed. I haven't personally seen one, but I really doubt there'd be a problem (and if there is I expect Marco would like to hear about it). fwiw, CERC-ATA (aka MegaRAID i4) works for sure but isn't listed. If anyone has any other ami(4) that's not listed, email me the manufacturer/model name offlist and I'll collate them into diffs for ami.4 and the supported-hardware lists.

Yes it is that hard! First... I can read the man pages and i DO read it (before postings). If you think this is easy... Maybe you can tell why the man page have two MEGARAID 320 statements. One with MEGARAID 320 and one MEGARAID 320-2E? Why would I know that MEGARAID 320-1 is a MEGARAID 320 when MEGARAID 320-2E is not? Please tell me. I bet other ordinary users are wondering as well... I was 99% sure it was supported after reading the man page. But after Mr Alex Lee replied and told me he used these MEGARAID 320-1 in both 3.7 and 3.8 I am now 100% sure (Thank you Alex Lee). The compat list is not always that clear. How many people know that the LSI Logic 150-4 and 150-6 MegaRAID cards are actually known as the compatible card LSI/Symbios 523 SATA?. I did not until Marc Peereboom told me. I read the bios update readme for the 150-4 that on a row mentioned LSI 523. So I thought it worked before Marco told me. But I was only 99% sure... Why don't put in 320-1, 150-4, 150-6 cards and the others that are known to work on the man page to make it easier for people...

Probably, those that read the misc@ archives or those who posted to that thread (such as yourself :) Why don't put in 320-1, 150-4, 150-6 cards and the others that are known to work on the man page to make it easier for people... Still, I'd recommend finding a supplier that allows for returns should the card turn out to be unsupported after all. Even after doing thorough research (misc@, the CVS changes, Google, etc.), things can still go wrong. Given the stories of changes occurring in wireless chipsets without a change in type number, not all manufacturers are entirely responsible. I'd recommend to hedge your bets.
