This is... odd. Got a 6.8 box, a Dell R320 lspci tells me 01:00.0 RAID bus controller: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic MegaRAID SAS 2008 [Falcon] (rev 03) so it*should* accept an SAS drive. I've got a Cheetah that's a few years old, and having pulled it out of another server (in the datecenter), I put it in this box to zero it out for reuse... and the box refuses to see the drive.*Nothing* in dmesg,*nothing* in /var/log/messages, and I tried echo "0" etc to get the SCSI buses to rescan.
Anyone have any ideas?
That's a hardware RAID controller, so it won't (by default) see single drives and pass them directly to the OS like a normal disk controller would. You need to go into the RAID config (you should see an option to do this at boot) and configure a RAID with a single disk in a RAID0 configuration.
or use the MegaCli from linux to do the same, but the syntax is nasty
