A working LSI raid utility would be great. If someone has a link please provide it. In my experience I've had to create T2000 RAIDs from the OK prompt and the process does destroy all data plus it changes the drive size so each drive must be re-labeled after the procedure. It's been over a year since I've had to do that so newer releases might not be so crappy.
LSI support link:
LSI7204XP-LC : Fibre Channel HBAs : Host Bus Adapters : Products : Storage : LSI
The link for "LSI Util" is at the bottom, under "Miscellaneous". It's a pretty simple command-line program, but it's also pretty powerful and given some of the commands you can run I'd bet it's more than capable of bricking your RAID controller.
FWIW, I tried it on an LSI 3041X that I have installed in a Supermicro box, and I can find any option that allows me to create a RAID mirror in a non-destructive manner. Yet, I know i've done that many times on LSI RAID controllers.

Hi
Can I add disks on the fly to extend the capacity of an existing RAID 5 volume?
It's created on a 4P Advanced SSA Raid Adapter.
I need to extend a volume group, so I figured it would be easiest to extend the "physical disk" which is a RAID5 volume.
Thanks. (1 Reply)

Hi there
the Sunfire X4100 has a great tool that you can get to from BIOS called the configuration utility which allows you to set up Disk mirroring (RAID 1) before the OS sees it, which is great and it works a treat, however, we have a large datacentre across multiuple sites and I need to find... (1 Reply)

Hello all
We've just bought a T2000. It has two disks and I'm trying to figure out how to create a mirror of the boot disk. I understand that I have to boot into single user mode from DVD and then use the raidctl command to set up the mirror and label the volume afterwards.

Hi,
I have a root with hardware RAID on c0t0d0 and c0t2d0. I would like to set the boot device sequence in OBP for both hdds.
I have checked in ls -l /dev/rdsk/ for the path of c0t2d0 but it does not exist. Can anyone shed some lights on this?

This may be a stupid question, but I don't want to take any chances.
I have a Sun T2000 in production. I want to run the "resetsc" command on the ALOM controller to active an IP address change. Will resetting ALOM affect the running OS?

AAC(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual AAC(4)
NAME
aac -- Adaptec AdvancedRAID Controller driver
SYNOPSIS
To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your kernel configuration file:
device pci
device aac
device aacp
To compile in debugging code:
options AAC_DEBUG=N
Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5):
aac_load="YES"
DESCRIPTION
The aac driver provides support for the Adaptec AAC family of SCSI Ultra2, Ultra160, and Ultra320, SATA and SAS RAID controllers.
Access to RAID containers is available via the /dev/aacd? device nodes. The aacp device enables the SCSI pass-thru interface and allows
devices connected to the card such as CD-ROMs to be available via the CAM scsi(4) subsystem. Note that not all cards allow this interface to
be enabled.
The /dev/aac? device nodes provide access to the management interface of the controller. One node exists per installed card. The aliases
/dev/afa? and /dev/hpn? exist for compatibility with the Dell and HP versions of management tools, respectively. If the kernel is compiled
with the COMPAT_LINUX option, or the aac_linux.ko and linux.ko modules are loaded, the Linux-compatible ioctl(2) interface for the management
device will be enabled and will allow Linux-based management applications to control the card.

DIAGNOSTICS
Compiling with AAC_DEBUG set to a number between 0 and 3 will enable increasingly verbose debug messages.
The adapter can send status and alert messages asynchronously to the driver. These messages are printed on the system console, and are also
queued for retrieval by a management application.

HISTORY
The aac driver first appeared in FreeBSD 4.3.

BUGS
This driver is not compatible with Dell controllers that have version 1.x firmware. The firmware version is the same as the kernel version
printed in the BIOS POST and driver attach messages.
The controller is not actually paused on suspend/resume.
