Fixed bug where deleting logical volumes could hang the system.
Logs to syslog, and optionally, sends SNMP traps. The intent with newer kernels 2.
If necessary, deb package will compile kernel as well. Most likely, you do not need these, as the cciss driver has been in the Linux kernel for a very long time, and most distributions will already have a cciss driver which will work for you as is.
Ubuntu Manpage: cciss - HP Smart Array block driver
This obsolete driver was removed from the kernel in version 4. A new ,inux Array driver called "hpsa" has been accepted into the main line linux kernel as of Dec 18,in linux The normal protocol is a four-step process: This patch will get called only once for each controller.
Hardware RAID logical volumes are invisible to OS, physical disks are exposed to OS, Debian could be installed but has to be handled with great care upon post-installation and when upgrading!
Added a procfs interface so users can tell the driver to rescan our devices. And also lsscsi does only show the DVD drive, but no disks.
To install, download the RPM file, and use rpm -ihv rpmfile This will deposit the cciss. The hpsa driver has the ability to claim unknown Smart Arrays, however this is turned off by default so that it does not try to claim older controllers meant to be claimed by the cciss driver. I can't comment on this much as I haven't tried it, but from my so far hpp brief perusing of the code it appears to be alright at first glance, basically doing the expected things.
up
More details are available in this HP-provided document. There are newer versions. That is, there are some kernels which have overlapping sets of controllers supported by both hpsa and cciss.
So far, I haven't had any luck duplicating this problem. The cciss driver previously contained a feature which would enable it by default to run on Smart Array controllers which it did not explicitly recognize except so far as to be able to determine that they were some sort of Smart Array.
HP ProLiant Servers
Arrayprobe offsite makes a report of events recorded by Smartarray contollers. Here's a sample report from arrayprobe 2. This page does not infer official support from HP. You may need firmware blobs found at here and here and instructions found at installation manual chapter 6. Non non-free firmware required!
Additionally, note that the driver will not engage the SCSI core at init time.
Can't find driver on HP Smart Array Ei Controller - CentOS
Added dynamic outstanding command turning on a per controller basis. X tarballs Last updated November 01,latest version is 3.
With all the various distributions, it is difficult to come up with a set of bulletproof universal instructions for making such a switch, so we recommend that you simply continue to use cciss in such instances. It is important for the driver to prevent the kernel from accessing the physical drives directly, since these drives are used by the array controller to construct the logical drives.
Initially, there was some overlap ph the boards which these two drivers support. The cciss driver participates in this protocol to some extent. I searched with some breaks nearly a linnux around to find a way to workaround. Arrayprobe which may need modifications to work with the hpsa driver.
To build the source tarballs: I would suggest disabling hardware raid and setting up software raid or no raid at all until the driver makes its way on the Linux Kernel, if it ever does.
The kernel module ccisswhich comes with the 2.
