Hello,
I just received a new Dell Precision T5400 and a new Adaptec 2230SLP
SCSI Controller card. This system has been freshy installed with Open
SuSE v10.2. The system is fully patched.
After I install the Adaptec Storage Manager from Adaptec's website,
asm-linux_v2.12_922.rpm, and launch the GUI, the ASM reports "No
controllers were found in this system". I can see the card using the
following:
#lspci
07:05.0 RAID bus controller: Adaptec AAC-RAID (Rocket) (rev 03)
[...]
I can also access the Adaptec card during system boot. I don't have
any SCSI storage plugged into it just now but I'm going to attached a
Dell PowerVault 221S and hopefully configure it for RAID50.
Perhaps it is a bug in the software, making it fail because there are no
disks attached to the controller at present.
Another question, the 2230SLP card is advertised to run up to 133Mhz
in the PCI-X bus. My Dell Precision is advertised to run up to 100Mhz
in its PCI-X slots. Why is my card showing up as running at 66Mhz???
There are no other cards in any of the other PCI-X slots.
As I (mis)understand it, the Adaptec 2130 and 2230 cards are PCI-X cards
rated for normal operation at 133 MHz when plugged into a 133 MHz PCI-X
slot.
If the PCI-X slot on the motherboard only runs at 100 MHz, then the
particular needs of this adapter card to run in PCI-X mode are not met and
then it defaults to legacy PCI mode, which is 66 MHz for 64-bit devices and
33 MHz for 32-bit devices. The 2230 and 2130 cards are 64-bit devices, so
they'll run at 66 MHz in PCI mode.
