I have opened the case of the server and it's LSI card with FakeRaid !! What I have to do now as lspci shows it as intel cards?

There's no option in BIOS to disable the RAID mode; this is NEC servers !! Also; I have found that it's a bug in Centos 7 as per this pages:- https://www.centos.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=49069 https://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=9813 From: Fawzy Ibrhim <fawzy_ibrhim at yahoo.com> To: CentOS mailing list <centos at centos.org> Sent: Wednesday, August 17, 2016 5:41 PM

This is particularly likely if this same hardware has been used with "CentOS 5/6" as reported in the original message.

Ok, I do see they had a series of MegaRAID SATA 150-xx and 300-xx cards, these were 64 bit PCI or PCI-X cards. 95Q9 does not appear to be a valid card number, 9240, 9260, 9280 are some pci-express SAS MegaRaid

The NEC compatibility page at http://www.nec.com/en/global/prod/express/linux/centos.html indicates that the R120b2 is not certified for CentOS 7. CentOS 5 and 6, yes, but not 7. As there are other servers

In your original message, you indicated that this was a PCI card, but it looks like this is just a firmware component of your motherboard. I think you should assume that this firmware is unsupported. Set your SATA mode

None of the missing modules appear to be related to RAID: autofs4, cpufreq_ondemand, freq_table, mperf, ipv6, microcode, power_meter. Can you post the output of "dmesg" on your

Hey, anyone using an LSI MegaRAID experienced "disappearing drives"...? We installed 6 new C6 servers, each with a Supermicro SMC2108 (LSI MegaRAID) controllers and 3 PX-128M5Pro SSDs ( RAID1 + hostswap). 2 weeks (and almost no activity on it, since not in production, apart from installation) later, megacli sees (based on the slot numbers): - on one server: only the 2nd disk of the RAID

i'm configuring a storage server with CentOS 6.2, it uses a LSI MegaRAID SAS controller, I'm using LSI's megacli to configure the storage... Any ideas on how to get drive failure notifications out of this system? I'm configuring hot spares but I'd still like some sort of notification when a drive has failed so the spare can be replaced. -- john r pierce

My firmware seems to be more up to date. Anyway, I will try to update firmware. I have to check how to do that. # dmesg |grep LSI scsi4 : LSI SAS
