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

Hi. I''ve used ghost for change the ide disk for an array of scsi in raid using an adaptec controller 2110s. Now when I boot it didn''t boot correctly. Looking for in Internet (http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/FAQ_46_4969.shtm) I guest that I have to rebuild the initial ramdisk to contain the proper kernel modules for the adaptec controller. But what is the kernel module for

Is anyone using RAID6 in production? In moving from hardware RAID on my dual 3ware 7500-8 based systems to md, I decided I'd like to go with RAID6 (since md is less tolerant of marginal drives than is 3ware). I did some benchmarking and was getting decent speeds with a 128KiB chunksize. So the next step was failure testing. First, I fired off memtest.sh as found at

I've got an i386 server running centos 4.2 with 3 3ware controllers in it -- an 8006-2 for the system disks and 2 7500-8s. On the 7500s, I'm running an all software RAID50. This morning I came in to find the system hung. Turns out a disk went overnight on one of the 7500s, and rather than a graceful failover I got this: Jan 6 01:03:58 $SERVER kernel: 3w-xxxx: scsi2: Command

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.

Hey guys, I'm stumped in how to add the kmod rpm to pxe install. I need it to be installed but also loaded during the install as well. The rpm in question is the 3w-9xxx from elrepo https://centos.pkgs.org/8/elrepo-x86_64/kmod-3w-9xxx-2.26.02.014-1.el8_0.elrepo.x86_64.rpm.html I'm constantly getting the following message Warning: can't find installer main image path in .treeinfo Any

Hi, Has any one tried to merge a custom kernel into vmlinuz/initrd.img for Centos 5 kickstart? Or similar Linux distribution? I am rebuilding a custom kernel from stock kernel source to build some hardware modules into static form, so that the hardware detection sequence can be altered in a hard way. Quick examples are: tg3 drivers will be loaded before e1000, 3w-9xxx be loaded before

I run a decent amount of 3ware hardware, all under centos-4. There seems to be some sort of fundamental disagreement between ext3 and 3ware's hardware RAID5 mode that trashes write performance. As a representative example, one current setup is 2 9550SX-12 boards in hardware RAID5 mode (256KB stripe size) with a software RAID0 stripe on top (also 256KB chunks). bonnie++ results look

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 have seen this at 3ware http://www.3ware.com/KB/article.aspx?id=12706 But

Hi, I have alot of kickstart and scripting going on as I provision lots of machines, and every now and then I run into a pesky machine or three that's still got that Adeptec zero-channel RAID card sitting on the board. Normally I like to rip it our and throw something more robust in, but if it's a cache machine or whatever, I leave it in. It makes my kickstart file useless until I

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

Hi, I have installed Centos 4.3 64bit with Kernel 2.6.9-34 using a driver disk for 3ware raid controller. I had partitioned this raid disk with Parted, and made ext3 file system on it. mounted and updated in /etc/fstab. It automatically mounts when I reboot the machine. Now when I do an up2date and update the kernel to 2.6.9-34-0.2 the system doesn't recognize the raid disk. I have

Hello, I''m using Gentoo Linux amd64 with the 2.6.34-xen-r4 kernel from portage.

I hate to bring up the raid card wars again, but... :) It's pretty well established that 3ware is a good "real" hardware raid card for SATA drives. So what is a good card for SCSI raid? My searches have come up with Adaptec and LSI as the main players here. Are the LSI MegaRAID cards "real" hardware raid? Which cards can give good raid 5 performance? -- Bowie
