similar to: 3ware error

I''ve been attempting to update my dom0 kernel by using the 2.6.27 git tree from the xenclient repo and also to 2.6.30 using opensuse patches rebased by Andrew Lyon. In both cases there''s a problem with the 3ware 3w_9xxx driver incorrectly detecting the LUNs on the device or some other issue, which ultimately prevents partition table detection. In my testing I applied the

I've just noticed that 3Ware has a more current version of the firmware for the 9500S than I have on several machines. All of mine are running: 3w-9xxx: scsi0: Firmware FE9X 3.04.00.005, BIOS BE9X 3.04.00.002, Ports: 8. and the latest rev appears to be 3.08. I'm wondering if there is any compelling reason to upgrade or just let these sleeping dogs lie. :) Any sage (or other)

Hi, Here's he setup. Original Kernel: kernel-smp-2.6.9-42.EL, booting fine.

Here are the version numbers I get after installing the 9.2.1.1 release: Model 9500S-4LP Firmware FE9X 2.08.00.003 Driver 2.26.03.019fw BIOS BE9X 2.03.01.052 Boot Loader BL9X 2.02.00.001 A bit confusing. I thought I saw a map of code set releases to various version numbers but I couldn't find it on 3Ware's site. On Sun, 28 Aug 2005 at 9:20am, Bryan J. Smith wrote >

Dear list, I thought I'd just share my experiences with this 3Ware card, and see if anyone might have any suggestions. System: Supermicro H8DA8 with 2 x Opteron 250 2.4GHz and 4GB RAM installed. 9550SX-8LP hosting 4x Seagate ST3250820SV 250GB in a RAID 1 plus 2 hot spare config. The array is properly initialized, write cache is on, as is queueing (and supported by the drives). StoreSave

Hello, Does anyone have experience using a 3ware 9650SE series raid controller on CentOS 6.0? I am getting very sporadic throughput with moderately sized files (0.5-2GB) on ext3. I have tried most of the mount time tuning options: * noatime * trying different journal types * setting commit=120 - helped a little Even after these optimizations it doesn't seem like the raid array is working

My setup is as follows: Motherboard: Tyan S2895 CPU: Two Opteron 275s Memory: 4 GB Disk: Three 250 GB SATA drives attached to a 3Ware 9500S-4LP RAID card Video: Nvidia GeForce 7800 The only hardware that I have added to the motherboard is the 3Ware card and the Nvidia card. The disks are configured as a RAID 5 array, and the machine boots from this array. I installed CentOS 4.2 x86 on this

Hello all, Came across my first real "problem" in all the years I've been using Linux today and I'm stumped for an answer. I've recently built a back-up server on top of Centos 5.3 using a 3Ware 9650SE 4 port SATA card and 4 x 1.5TB drives in a RAID 5 array. I went for the 3Ware card as it has driver support already so any kernel updates won't require me to rebuild the

Hi, I used xen-3.0.2-2 (2.6.16) before and the performance of my 3ware 9550SXU-4LP wasn''t too bad, but now with 3.0.3.0 (2.6.16.29) throughput decreased by about 10MB/sec in write performance. sync; ./bonnie++ -n 0 -r 512 -s 20480 -f -b -d /mnt/blabla -u someuser now (2.6.16.29): Version 1.03 ------Sequential Output------ --Sequential Input- --Random- -Per

My goal is to be able to install to the drive array on the 3Ware controller card. 3Ware does provide a RH WS 3 driver that I've tried to use; however, the RH Enterprise 3 WS driver doesn't work since that kernel is older than the CentOS-3.1 install kernel. I'm trying to create a centOS-3.1 installation driver disk for the 3ware 9500S card; however, I'm not having much luck.

To try and recreate your setup we put an old 3ware controller in a machine with 6GB and have been hitting it

Hi, I have a system based on a Supermicro X8DTH-i motherboard and a Xeon E5506 CPU. It was previously running Debian lenny with xen-hypervisor-3.2-1-amd64 (3.2.1-2) / linux-image-2.6.26-2-xen-amd64 (2.6.26-29) without incident. I upgraded it to Debian squeeze, with xen-hypervisor-4.0-amd64 (4.0.1-4) / linux-image-2.6.32-5-xen-amd64 (2.6.32-45) and now it does not complete a boot of the dom0

Hello I have at this time a w3are 7006-2 controller in my server Dual Xenon 2.8Ghz . But now i will change it to a 9500S-4LP SATA Raid Controller. I have seen in lsmod that the 7000 driver is loaded. scsi_mod 115112 3 [sg 3w-xxxx sd_mod] My question Is it possible to running this card with centos 3.3?

I've been having no end of issues with a 3ware 9650SE-24M8 in a server that's coming on a year old. I've got 24 WDC WD5001ABYS drives (500GB) hooked to it, running as a single RAID6 w/ a hot spare. These issues boil down to the card periodically throwing errors like the following: sd 1:0:0:0: WARNING: (0x06:0x002C): Command (0x8a) timed out, resetting card. Usually when this

3ware now provides driver disk for CentOS. A couple of months ago, I had to add support for the 3ware 9550sx. The driver disk provided for CentOS 4.1 work perfectly. I now need to add support for the 3ware 9550sx for CentOS 4.3 x64. Although the driver disk is available, it doesn't seem to work. Anaconda just can't find the 3w-9xxx module. This is the same seutp as CentOS 4.1 (which

I'm using CentOS5 64bit on a system with a 3ware 9650SE card. I installed the OS using the driver disk files provided by 3ware. It worked fine with the original CentOS5 kernel. After doing a "yum update", which also installed an updated kernel, the system didn't work after a reboot, using the new kernel. I rebooted the old kernel, moved the 3w-9xxx.ko file from

Hi, I've got a new server with a 3ware 9550SXU with the Battery. I am using FreeBSD 7.0-Release (tried both 4BSD and ULE) using AMD64 and the 3ware performance for writes is just plain horrible. Something is obviously wrong but I'm not sure what. I've got a 4 disk RAID 10 array. According to 3dm2 the cache is on. I even tried setting The StorSave preference to
