similar to: CentOS-2 and 3ware 9000

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.

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

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

greetings, the subject says it all right? ;-> naw...... is the 3ware Escalade 9500S series mature enough yet for CentOS? - rh -- Robert Hanson Abba Communications http://www.abbacomm.net

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

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

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,

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

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

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

Hi list, this days I''ve tried to update a 32bit XEN 3.0.4 system (kernel 2.6.16) to XEN 3.1.2 on AMD64 (kernel 2.6.18). The system has 2GB RAM and a 3ware 9500-12 SATA raid controller. The old system worked fine for about half a year now. The new system boots fine so far but when doing some "bigger" changes to the filesystem I get a lot of this errors: > PCI-DMA: Out of

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

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

Hello, I''m using Gentoo Linux amd64 with the 2.6.34-xen-r4 kernel from portage. I''ve been successfully using Xen 4.0 for almost a year, but now it seems that with the dawn of Xen 4.1, the package maintainers have forces unstable users to upgrade from 4.0 to 4.1 Looking forward to try the new xl interface, I installed it, but there seem to be a few problems with xen-4.1 First
