Hello,
Has anyone here installed CentOS on a Dell Poweredge with a SAS 5IR controller? Does it work? With what driver? Is this real hardware RAID?
I have a 2950 with (what from linux) is called a PERC 5/i with SAS drives. I worked fine even with 4.3 :-) (no tweaking, no fiddeling)
The driver is called megaraid_sas, and yes it is true hardware raid.
Here's the details of what I have: [root@tbox3 ~]# lspci -s 02:0e 02:0e.0 RAID bus controller: Dell PowerEdge Expandable RAID controller 5 [root@tbox3 ~]# lspci -vn -s 02:0e 02:0e.0 Class 0104: 1028:0015 Subsystem: 1028:1f03 Flags: bus master, stepping, 66Mhz, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 201 Memory at d88f0000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=64K] Memory at fcce0000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=128K] Expansion ROM at fcd00000 [disabled] [size=32K] Capabilities: [c0] Power Management version 2 Capabilities: [d0] Message Signalled Interrupts: 64bit+ Queue=0/1 Enable- Capabilities: [e0] PCI-X non-bridge device.
