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

http://www.3ware.com/KB/article.aspx?id=11843 "These instructions are for RH Advanced Server Update 2 and ****any other Linux distribution that does not include the driver for the 3ware 9000 series controllers.**** " The knowledgebase article also includes the aforementioned perl script(dug a bit more and found it).

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.

Hi all, after an uprade to new kernel 2.4.21-15.0.4.EL on my server appears a lot of these messages: EXT3-fs error (device sd(8,17)): ext3_free_blocks: bit already cleared for block 19268224 EXT3-fs error (device sd(8,17)): ext3_free_blocks: bit already cleared for block 19268225 EXT3-fs error (device sd(8,17)): ext3_free_blocks: bit already cleared for block 19268226 I try to rebuild array but

Hi, Which SATA RAID cards work natively on Centos 4.x?? I have heard that the only one supported is the 3ware cards but not sure if that requires a driver to be added or if it just works out the box.. Also would like to know of alternatives.. Thanks..

In regard of the e-mail sent on Jul/16/04 about the 3Ware 9500S. Has anyone experienced/solved this issue ?? I'm having a similar problem, I already have the system installed on a separate disk, now I want to make the filesystem on the RAID partition (using 3Ware 9500S-8). First I had the problem that the card will keep resetting after continous timeouts whenever I tried loading 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)

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

I am getting this error:- 3w-9xxx: scsi0: ERROR: (0x03:0x0104): SGL entry has illegal length:address=0x3744A000, length=0xFF, cmd=X.

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

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Greetings folks, I'm currently redoing my home server as one of the hard drives in my RAID-1 array went down and I'm going to replace the lot of it with a 3Ware Escalade 9500S RAID capable card and four Seagate 200GB SATA drives. These drives are supposedly the coolest and quietest SATA drives available (better than the Maxtors I had anyway)

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 notice that IO performance is notably slower than the stock RHEL kernel; about 1/2 overall write performance. I can trigger the bug

From a buddy of mine that has spent a little time with the new cards. This was in response to my email asking about his impressions of them: It just came out in mid-September. There are a couple reasons I'm not thrilled with it: 1) no 8-port multilane version (only 12) 2) the 8-port non-multilane version is a kludge, connector-wise (a row of 3 double-stacked connectors along the

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

Guys, I''m about to set up Xen on a dual Opteron server backed with SATA storage which is driven by a 3ware 9550SX controller. The problem is that as linux-2.6.12.6 has no support for this type of card by default, so I need to download & compile the driver the vendor provides. I did so (for the kernel 2.6.12.6-xen0) and generated an initrd image which gets loaded properly at bootime,
