Greetings all,
I've got an Dual Opteron SLES 8 SP3 installation to which I'm trying to add a tape library. The tape library (2 drive SDLT and one robot) is LVD VHDCI. I found the Adaptec AHA39160 which has 2 VHDCI but is listed as "problematic" in the SuSE HardWare Database.
Last time I tried the 39160, they worked fine on several Opteron system, go ahead.
Adaptec makes an AHA29160-LP which has an external VHDCI connector, but it is not listed in the HWDB, however the AHA29160 is listed and supported, but it has different connectors, are those close enough to believe that the AHA29160-LP is also supported or would that be pushing my luck?
What I'm looking for is a PCI/PCI-X SCSI card preferably with 2 external LVD VHDCI connectors, I have room for 2 cards if need be, that is fully supported.
I also found an LSI Logic card which would meet my needs, but am either using the wrong vendor name or they are not listed in the HWDB.
The hardware database is not as up to date as we like to see it:-( Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, aj@suse.de, http://www.suse.de/~aj SUSE Linux Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126
