Hello, I have managed to set up a Xen 2.0.5 from Source on Debian Sarge and up to now, there are 4 additional domains running. So far, so good. The underlying system has a 3ware ATA RAID controller running a RAID1 raid. I now would like to monitor the status of the raid, so I have to run a certain 3ware_cli command in dom0. This command tries to access /proc/scsi/3w-xxxx but does not find it (it''s not there). Is there anything I can do to help it? Best regards, Carsten Tolkmit _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

Here, we have a server with Xen, and 3ware card, and /proc/scsi/3w-xxxx is there.

Furthermore, the following is true: > grep 3W /boot/config-2.6.10-xen0 CONFIG_BLK_DEV_3W_XXXX_RAID=y # CONFIG_SCSI_3W_9XXX is not set As you can see, the domain 0 kernel is configured for the block device. Also, running dmesg in dom0 shows: 3ware Storage Controller device driver for Linux v1.26.02.000. PCI: Obtained IRQ 18 for device 0000:02:03.0 scsi0 : 3ware Storage Controller 3w-xxxx: scsi0: Found a 3ware Storage Controller at 0xd000, IRQ: 18. Vendor: 3ware Model: Logical Disk 0 Rev: 1.2 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 00 So I think it must be there. Or am I wrong? This is all a little new for me.

Hi again, I think I solved my problem. I was using wrong cli / 3dmd software for the controller. Newer versions fixed the problem, the newer versions do not rely on /proc/scsi/3w-xxx Thanks again, Carsten _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
