Operating Systems Solaris Where are my other disks on T5220 ? Post 302987840 by hicksd8 on Friday 16th of December 2016 01:31:11 PM

Okay, some of what I'm about to say I'm guessing....please note that....

Is the Storagetek controller an add-in card? Or is it built into the motherboard?

If it's add-in you might be able to pull out the card and connect the ribbon cables from the disks to the motherboard. I'm really not sure. Anybody know amongst all the Sun experts on here?

Otherwise, there may be a "pass-through" option on the STK Manager to simply map raw disks (without RAID) to Solaris. That needs investigation unless another member with better knowledge of STK than me chips in.

This:

https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19637-01.../E23172-01.pdf

seems to say it's an add-in card.

the (default) drives are SAS drives.

It looks like if you don't want RAID (other than RAID0 or RAID1 which the motherboard provides according to this pdf), just pull the card out. (Don't throw it away because it's worth money!!!)

It would still be better to do a pass-through of drives from the STK if that's possible.

mfi

MFI(4)							   BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual 						    MFI(4)

NAME

     mfi -- LSI Logic & Dell MegaRAID SAS RAID controller

SYNOPSIS

     mfi* at pci? dev ? function ?

DESCRIPTION

     The mfi driver provides support for the MegaRAID SAS family of RAID controllers, including:

	   -   Dell PERC 5/e, PERC 5/i, PERC 6/e, PERC 6/i
	   -   Intel RAID Controller SRCSAS18E, SRCSAS144E
	   -   LSI Logic MegaRAID SAS 8208ELP, MegaRAID SAS 8208XLP, MegaRAID SAS 8300XLP, MegaRAID SAS 8308ELP, MegaRAID SAS 8344ELP, MegaRAID
	       SAS 8408E, MegaRAID SAS 8480E, MegaRAID SAS 8708ELP, MegaRAID SAS 8888ELP, MegaRAID SAS 8880EM2, MegaRAID SAS 9260-8i
	   -   IBM ServeRAID M1015, ServeRAID M5014

     These controllers support RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, RAID 6, RAID 10, RAID 50 and RAID 60 using either SAS or SATA II drives.

     Although the controllers are actual RAID controllers, the driver makes them look just like SCSI controllers.  All RAID configuration is done
     through the controllers' BIOSes.

     mfi supports monitoring of the logical disks in the controller through the bioctl(8) and envstat(8) commands.

EVENTS

     The mfi driver is able to send events to powerd(8) if a logical drive in the controller is not online.  The state-changed event will be sent
     to the /etc/powerd/scripts/sensor_drive script when such condition happens.

SEE ALSO

     intro(4), pci(4), scsi(4), sd(4), bioctl(8), envstat(8), powerd(8)

HISTORY

     The mfi driver first appeared in NetBSD 4.0.
