Hello List, Has anybody got the sil 3512 SATA Raid Controller working under SuSE 9.1? I have to set up two identical machines, both athlon 64 Systems and I'm not quite sure if I understand the principle of Hardware SATA-Raid under SuSE. I configured the RAID (two Samsung SATA disks) with the RAID setup tool after Boot for either mirrored or striped mode, but when installing suse, it keeps telling me that these are two separate disks, which can be used freely no matter what is configured in the RAID Controller Setup. I guess I am lacking the right driver...? I found out that either "medley" and/or "ataraid" should be the modules needed for proper use. Is that right or which one is necessary for kernel 2.6.x? Are they provided with SuSe 9.1? Should i load them through a manual installation? Are there other HW RAID management tools with SuSE 9.1? Here's my output of raiddetect, i can provide more info... -------------------- 64:~ # raiddetect could not get device geometry for /sys/block/hdc The following disks hang off a HPT IDE controller: The following disks hang off a PDC IDE controller: The following disks hang off a SIL IDE controller: name: /sys/block/sda, /dev name: /dev/sda, major: 8, minor: 0, size: 312581808, attached to: 0000:01:07.0, controller: 2, vendorid: 0x1095, deviceid: 0x3512, subsystem_vendorid: 0x1095, subsystem_deviceid: 0x6512, controllertype: 3, hasraidmagic: 0 name: /sys/block/sdb, /dev name: /dev/sdb, major: 8, minor: 16, size: 312581808, attached to: 0000:01:07.0, controller: 2, vendorid: 0x1095, deviceid: 0x3512, subsystem_vendorid: 0x1095, subsystem_deviceid: 0x6512, controllertype: 3, hasraidmagic: 0 The following disks are unclassified: name: /sys/block/hdc, /dev name: /dev/hdc, major: 22, minor: 0, size: 6988096, attached to: 0000:00:08.0, controller: 1, vendorid: 0x10de, deviceid: 0xd5, subsystem_vendorid: 0x1297, subsystem_deviceid: 0xa550, controllertype: 0, hasraidmagic: 0 name: /sys/block/sdc, /dev name: /dev/sdc, major: 8, minor: 32, size: 398295040, attached to: 0000:00:02.2, controller: 3, vendorid: 0x10de, deviceid: 0xd8, subsystem_vendorid: 0x1297, subsystem_deviceid: 0xa550, controllertype: 0, hasraidmagic: 0 64:~ # --------------------------------------- Any help appreciatied!
