I described in my first message, that RAID was setup in BIOS, but FreeBSD can't see it's raid. It is main problem! ...not "event 0x16" problem Once again: --- In system BIOS I set Mass storage controllers menu SAS controller - Enable SAS configure as SW RAID - Enable RAID was build in controller's BIOS (CTRL+E during boot). --- We talking about Intel 5000PAL + SAS backplane There is LSISAS1054E chip and 3 SAS Ports 1U Active Backplane and Intel Embedded Server Raid Technology II for RAID setup (CTRL+E during boot) FreeBSD can't see raid JKnc> Johan JKnc> -----Original Message----- JKnc> From: owner-freebsd-scsi@freebsd.org JKnc> [mailto:owner-freebsd-scsi@freebsd.org] JKnc> Sent: Monday, October 23, 2006 10:12 AM JKnc> To: freebsd-scsi@freebsd.org JKnc> Subject: SR1500 + 5000PAL + SAS backplane - no RAID support JKnc> -----Original Message----- JKnc> #define MPI_EVENT_SAS_PHY_LINK_STATUS (0x00000012) JKnc> #define MPI_EVENT_SAS_DISCOVERY_ERROR (0x00000013) JKnc> #define MPI_EVENT_IR_RESYNC_UPDATE (0x00000014) JKnc> #define MPI_EVENT_IR2 (0x00000015) JKnc> #define MPI_EVENT_SAS_DISCOVERY (0x00000016) JKnc> Event 0x16 just means that the card is probing for devices attached to JKnc> the PHY's JKnc> In your case 0x12 means a device have been seen on a PHY JKnc> P.S.
