Thanks. It looks like there's also an out-of-tree driver available, if people want to go that direction. (For example, it's available from Dell at https://downloads.dell.com/FOLDER04588242M/1/UnifiedDriver_7.700.52.00_SLES12.tar.gz , found on the drivers and downloads page for the R640 or R740 after selecting SLES or RHEL.)

[Bug 1683587] Re: LSI Harpoon support in megaraid_sas module
Hi, It turns out that support for this driver would require a very large backport with several series of patches, involving significant refactoring, code movement and other code change. This makes it very hard for us to be sure that our backport is correct, and that it's not going to fail unexpectedly on this new model or on any of the many older models supported by this driver. Therefore, we have decided that the complexity and risk of regression is unacceptably high, and we will not be providing a backport to the 4.4 kernel series. This means that you will need to use the HWE kernel for this chassis. The Artful kernel, which is out next week, has full support. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Won't Fix -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1683587 Title: LSI Harpoon support in megaraid_sas module To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1683587/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1683587] Re: LSI Harpoon support in megaraid_sas module
Are the patches for 4.4 (Xenial) available somewhere? We'd like patches so we can build the kernel ourselves. We can immediately do basic testing against H730/830 (Invader, previously supported) and H840 (Harpoon, new, probably same as H740 except with external connectors instead of internal). With a little more time and effort we can do some testing on H720 as well. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1683587 Title: LSI Harpoon support in megaraid_sas module To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1683587/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Re: [Bug 1683587] Re: LSI Harpoon support in megaraid_sas module
Hi Edward, I am glad to hear the modified ISO works. I have backported the patches and am in discussions with the kernel team about including them in the default kernel. One of our issues is that the patch set is quite large so we're worried about regressions - do you have any older H7** raid controllers? Are you in a position to help with regression testing?

[Bug 1683587] Re: LSI Harpoon support in megaraid_sas module
Hi I have a new Dell PowerEdge R640 server a PERC H740P RAID Controller. I tried to install the latest 16.04 LTS Ubuntu on it, but during installation it failed to detect any disks. After pulling my hair out while diagnosing this issue for hours I finally found this thread. Can anyone confirm that the behavior I'm seeing (no disks showing up during setup) is because of the lacking support? If so, is there any way I can test this or to help to speed up the release, as I need to setup this server with Ubuntu but basically I'm stuck due to this. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1683587 Title: LSI Harpoon support in megaraid_sas module To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1683587/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
