Hi, folks, Got an old HP box with a P800 Smart Array controller. The HP RAID box plugged into it's failing, and we got a new JetStor. Anyone know if we can just plug the JetStor in and set it to passthrough, or if we have to use the P800's firmware to set up the RAID, or other gotchas? I *think* we could use the RAID boxes firmware to build the RAID, but last resort would be passthrough, and Linux RAID. mark

Running CentOS 6.7, on an older HP DL580 G5. We've got a Dell 12-bay RAID box plugged into a PERC H800 (aka LSI Liberator) that we put in the HP, and that works fine. We've got a new RAID (a JetStor), and are trying to plug it in. The layout is that the Dell RAID is dual-pathed DAS. Each PERC has two DAS ports. We've got the Dell RAID in the top port of each PERC. I *thought* I could just plug the new RAID, which also has two ports, into the bottom two ports on the PERC. TRied rescanning...

In the last month - definitely after going to 5.5 - I've tried to fsck a drive (340 days, or some such, unchecked). 960G RAID 5, I *think*, possibly serial port attachment to a JetStore RAID array. Every time I try, it gets to 70.0%, and stops. As in, I left it run last night, having started it late afternoon, and around 23:00, it was still exactly there, not even .1% more. On that, I also had a -dd flag, since running it the other day with a -d gave me nothing at all of debuggin...

I am in the process of completely overhauling the storage setup here and plan to go to glusterfs. The storage involved is 8x Coraid units, 2x JetStor and a Dell MD3000. The Coraid and JetStor are network connected via ATA over Ethernet & iSCSI. The disks are also being upgraded to 1TB in the process. I do plan to use unify to bring most if not all the storage together. My first question is that since these units are over 12TB after be...

...does RAID 0, but I did not see that in the 5.42 > BIOS. on many of those P4/P8 series raid cards, raid6 support is an extra cost option, but once its enabled for a given card, it continues to work on that card even if its moved. The P420's I have support raid0 (stripe)... I googled JetStor, and saw a whole lineup of NAS/SAN boxes that support NFS, ISCSI, etc. these wouldn't work with a raid card like a P800, but a SAS expansion tray from a JetStor should work if direct connected to the SmartArray card... a JetStor that has its own embedded raid controller with SAS host co...

I think the FIRST thing you need to determine, WHAT JetStor do you have, and what is its host connection ? All the JetStor boxes I saw in a quick look were Ethernet connected NAS/SAN boxes. -- john r pierce, recycling bits in santa cruz
