LSI SAS3801E

Post by ioojimooi » 2018/05/28 07:52:16

hi all,

i have a newly installed CentOS 7 system ( 3.10.0-862.3.2.el7.x86_64 ), and having trouble to get the RAID set detected.

RAID card : LSI SAS3801E
RAID set : has finished building, 4TB x 16, RAID 6, size : 52,160 GB

command outputs :

Code: Select all

lspci | grep -i sas
03:00.0 SCSI storage controller: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic SAS1068E PCI-Express Fusion-MPT SAS (rev 08)
05:00.0 SCSI storage controller: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic SAS1068E PCI-Express Fusion-MPT SAS (rev 08)

Code: Select all

dmesg | grep -i sas
[ 29.243811] scsi host6: ioc1: LSISAS1068E B3, FwRev=00192f00h, Ports=1, MaxQ=266, IRQ=16

[ 29.384284] mptsas: ioc1: attaching raid volume, channel 1, id 0
plus, i have also installed a driver from here : https://goo.gl/oQu1Lk

there is also an active & running related service :

Code: Select all

 systemctl status fusion.mptctl
fusion.mptctl.service - SYSV: This script starts or stops an MPT Fusion (ctl) drivers
Loaded: loaded (/etc/rc.d/init.d/fusion.mptctl; bad; vendor preset: disabled)
Active: active (exited) since Mon 2018-05-28 15:47:32 HKT; 2min 41s ago
Docs: man:systemd-sysv-generator(8)
Process: 2417 ExecStop=/etc/rc.d/init.d/fusion.mptctl stop (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)
Process: 2430 ExecStart=/etc/rc.d/init.d/fusion.mptctl start (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)
does it sound like the hardware is ready but i'm missing some additional steps to get it detected by parted ?

any hints / info would be appreciated. thanks ~

I certainly wouldn't use that driver from the LSI site when it says it's for RHEL/CentOS 5.4. Can you post the output from lspci -nn | grep -i raid so that we can see pci vendor/device ids that are missing from the current version in your post.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.

thanks for the reply.

i tried this :

Code: Select all

lspci -nn | grep -i raid
but it returns nothing.

and if i do this :

Code: Select all

lspci -nn | grep -i sas
it shows me this :
03:00.0 SCSI storage controller [0100]: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic SAS1068E PCI-Express Fusion-MPT SAS [1000:0058] (rev 08)
05:00.0 SCSI storage controller [0100]: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic SAS1068E PCI-Express Fusion-MPT SAS [1000:0058] (rev 08)

I suspect that's not a hardware RAID card. Unless it has some BIOS option to enable RAID mode? How are you creating this "RAID set"?

that RAID card can be accessed & managed via browser in LAN, and i created the RAID set via that interface in browser.
