| Hi there,
|
| I'm in the process of installing Centos 5.2 on an IBM x236 w/
| ServeRAID 7k I recently acquired to act as a samba file server. The
| hardware has all passed various stress tests I could throw at it so
| we're okay there.
|
| My question is. Has anyone had any luck getting the latest IBM
| ServeRAID Manager v9.0 working in CentOS? If so how?
|
| ServeRAID Manager is based off Adaptec's Storage Manager and I'm
| encountering two errors.
|
| The first relates to the login. It asks me for my username & password
| then throws a java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: authenticateUser error.
| I've tried it with both Sun Java 1.4 & 1.6 and the same error both
| times. There's also supposed to be a file /etc/pam.d/storman created
| according to the docs but nowhere in the rpm file or on the web can I
| find out what the contents of the file are supposed to look like.
|
| The second error, is after I hit cancel (which logs me in as guest),
| the software says no raid controller exists, which is of course
| incorrect.
|
| As a side note, I've already tried googling the problem, visiting
| Adaptec's site, and visiting IBM's support & developerworks sites. The
| support site's are useless and developerworks keeps spitting out HTTP
| 50x errors.

To make it short: Have a x345 here with ServeRAID ?? (Adaptec
ASR-2020S). As soon as I realized I have to install additional SW and
the HBA has no decent BIOS, I ripped it out of the machine and went mdadm.

Software RAIDs are *heaven* compared to all those HBAs when it comes to
manageability (talking of DAS, here...).

Regards,

Timo
