similar to: Adaptec 29320

I'm having speed problems with the SCSI card we're using to do tape backup. It seems to be functioning in 16 bit mode and the current thinking is that perhaps it's using a legacy driver instead of the correct one. The Adaptec site has a 'driver' for RHEL5 which I've downloaded and tried to install but it seems to have a problem installing on a CentOS-5 system. [root at

I have an external HP SureStore DLT VS80 with a SCSI LVD 68 pin interface and an external HP SureStore DAT24 with a SCSI Centronics 50 pin Narrow SE interface. The cable for the DAT has a Centronics connector at one end and a 68 Pin Wide to Narrow terminated connector at the other. The cable for the DLT has a LVD/SE 68 pin connector at both ends. I have terminator blocks for both devices.

Hi All, I need to install CentOS 4.0 x86_64 using Adaptec ASC-29320A with HostRAID enabled, but it seems my card isn't recognized. I've tried to install the hardware using driver downloaded for RHEL 4.0 from the Adaptec Website, but still it's unrecognized. P.S. I'm able to install RedHat 9.0 using this card before. Is there anyone have any solution for this? Thanks and

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

I have an IDE based PC running Linux/CentOS4 to which I wish to attach a scsi dlt. The host controller is an Adaptec AHA3940 something that lspci reports as: SCSI storage controller: Initio Corporation 360P (rev 02). I would like to have the system load the driver for this adapter at boot but I have two problems: 1. I am not sure which driver to use; and 2. I do not know how to force

I need to install an HP Surestore dlt on a Centos 4 machine and I am at a loss as to how to proceed. Can someone either provide or point me to an online reference on how to proceed to add and configure a SCSI adapter and tape drive. I have read, but not really understood, the man page entry for st. Does kudzu handle this? Regards, Jim I am a digest subscriber so the favour of an

Hi people I am new to Xen and having some trouble getting it up and running. I am trying to install it on a Dell Poweredge SC420 that has CentOS (RHEL3 clone) installed. The error that I am getting when I first try to boot into the Xen kernel, after having installed the binary and adding the necessary lines to grub.conf is : ---snip--- md: Autodetecting RAID arrays md: autorun ... md: ...

I am planning to build a server based on the SuperMicro X7DBE+-O motherboard. This server will have two dual-core Xeon processors and a 3ware 9550SX raid card. Has anyone built a server based on this motherboard? Are there any issues with the smp/dual-core support in CentOS4 that might cause problems? I appreciate any input. I'm just looking to find out about any possible problems before

I am experimenting with a scsi2 HP SureStore DAT24 attached as an external device to an Intel P4 system. I am attempting to create a raw disk image of a dds2 tape made on a non linux system. My immediate problem is that I am trying to terminate a dd process and having no luck. dd was invoked thus: dd if=/dev/nst1 of=/tmp/disk.dds2.img bs=512 & pid=$! a ps reveals this: ps PID TTY

I'm trying to get the RHEL-5 version of their kernel driver to install with no luck so far. http://www.adaptec.com/en-US/support/scsi/u320/ASC-39320A-R/ Here is what I'm seeing when I install their provided .RPM: [root at hcnas ~]# rpm -i a320raid.rhel5.i686.rpm Adaptec adp94xx driver installer - V1.2.5934.0-1 Backing up all modified files to /boot/adp94xx-backup-4 Using GRUB

I am currently testing an Overland Tape storage unit with a LTO-3 drive on CentOS 4.4. After a random amount of time but usually when we have backed up about 0.5-1TB we get scsi errors which cause the backup to fail. I have rebuilt the box with Solaris 10 x86 and Windoze to prove the hardware and have successfully backed up over 3TB on each OS without error. Can anyone offer advice on how to find

What model LSI card? Is that card on the RHEL hardware support list? Does LSI/Dell have drivers on their site? Have you tried drivers from LSI/Dell and using the dd(driver disk)

We are strategizing a set of backup servers and I have been trying to deduce wha the maximum size of each RAID 5 array should be to match the OS we are using. We are currently running CentOS 4.3 64 bit. We have planned a 2 TB RAID 5 array for testing but we will need to set up several larger ones for production. I have poked around and I see people mention limits like 2TB max file size and 32TB

I have two identical servers. The only difference is that the first one has Maxtor 250G drives and the second one has Seagate 320G drives. OS: CentOS-4.4 (fully patched) CPU: dual Opteron 280 Memory: 16GB Raid card: 3ware 9550Sx-8LP Raid volume: 4-disk Raid 5 with NCQ and Write Cache enabled On the first server I have decent performance. Nothing spectacular, but good enough. The second one

The only PCI-X card I have is an old ICP Vortex RAID controller and the Dell hangs with that installed (BIOS is disabled). It's only for a tape drive so performance isn't really an issue. thanks

Hi, for a specific application we need a low-profile SCSI card (PCI) with external 50pin connector. I thought about getting an "Adaptec SCSI Card 2930LP". However I was not able to find any usable information about wether this card is supported by Linux/CentOS 5.x or not. Does anyone have this card working with a CentOS 5.x machine? Alternatively: Are there any linux-supported

I have a backup spooling onto a DLT drive. Is there any tool that will let me monitor the data throughput on the device? -- Bowie
