Full Discussion: Boot hang after relocate of LSI HBA controller
Operating Systems SCO Boot hang after relocate of LSI HBA controller Post 302535238 by millosman on Thursday 30th of June 2011 07:51:51 AM
Old 06-30-2011
Hi
only 4gb installed.
As soon as it reaches the message '0:0,127,0 : HBA : (megasas, 1) LSI MegaRAID3..' it stops and there is no more disk activity.
When installed on the old install PC the messages immediately after this one are the ID's of the two disks in the RAID, and controller itself. So it seems to me that it is not recognising the RAID properly.
Strange given that it has at this point loaded the operating system and partially booted off the RAID to then not see it properly.

MP4 still installing... will retry when done.

Hi Jgt

thanks for your advice re MP4. This has fixed it. The disks now boot properly when fitted to the Supermicro target machine. What a performance!

Many thanks once again

Andy

NAME

       mega_sas - SCSI HBA driver for LSI MegaRAID SAS controller

DESCRIPTION

       The mega_sas MegaRAID controller host bus adapter driver  is a  SCSA-compliant  nexus  driver that supports the Dell PERC 5/E, 5/i, 6/E and
       6/i RAID controllers, the IBM ServeRAID-MR10k SAS/SATA  controller and  the  LSI  MegaRAID  SAS/SATA  8308ELP,  8344ELP,  84016E,  8408ELP,
       8480ELP, 8704ELP, 8704EM2, 8708ELP, 8708EM2, 8880EM2 and 8888ELP series of controllers.

       Supported  RAID	features  include RAID levels 0, 1, 5, and 6, RAID spans 10, 50 and 60, online capacity expansion (OCE), online RAID level
       migration (RLM), auto resume after loss of  system power during arrays, array rebuild or reconstruction (RLM) and configurable stripe  size
       up  to  1MB. Additional supported RAID features include check consistency for background data integrity, patrol read for media scanning and
       repairing, 64 logical drive support, up to 64TB LUN support, automatic rebuild and global and dedicated hot spare support.

CONFIGURATION

       The mega_sas.conf file contains no user configurable parameters. Please configure your hardware through the related  BIOS  utility  or  the
       MegaCli	configuration  utility.  If  you  want to install to a drive attached to a mega_sas HBA, you should create the virtual drive first
       from the BIOS before running the Solaris install. You can obtain the MegaCli utility from the LSI website.

       The mega_sas device can support up to  64 virtual disks. Note that BIOS numbers the virtual disks as 1 through 64, however in  the  Solaris
       operating  environment virtual disks are numbered from 0 to 63.	Also note that SAS and SATA drives cannot be configured into the same vir-
       tual disk.

KNOWN PROBLEMS AND LIMITATIONS

       The mega_sas driver does not support the LSI MegaRAID SAS 8204ELP, 8204XLP, 8208ELP, and 8208XLP controllers.
