It seems you can create the new volume while the system is running using the aaccli utility but will freebsd see the new device (/dev/aacd...) when it is created ? Is creating the missing /dev entries sufficient ? On Irix there is a command (ioconfig) that allows the system to see volumes added after boot so I was wondering if there is a similar thing in FreeBSD. I've checked the camcontrol utility but the aac volumes do not show up in camcontrol devlist -v. (I'm using -stable) Any lights on this would be greatly appreciated. -- Herve Boulouis From owner-freebsd-scsi@FreeBSD.ORG Tue Aug 17 03:01:30 2004 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-scsi@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 5953416A4CE for ; Tue, 17 Aug 2004 03:01:30 +0000 (GMT) Received: from pooker.samsco.org (pooker.samsco.org [168.103.85.57]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 03F6A43D5C for ; Tue, 17 Aug 2004 03:01:30 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from scottl@freebsd.org) Received: from pooker.samsco.org (scottl@localhost [127.0.0.1]) by pooker.samsco.org (8.12.11/8.12.10) with ESMTP id i7H31jJJ057229; Mon, 16 Aug 2004 21:01:45 -0600 (MDT) (envelope-from scottl@freebsd.org) Received: from localhost (scottl@localhost)i7H31j0R057226; Mon, 16 Aug 2004 21:01:45 -0600 (MDT) (envelope-from scottl@freebsd.org) X-Authentication-Warning: pooker.samsco.org: scottl owned process doing -bs Date: Mon, 16 Aug 2004 21:01:45 -0600 (MDT) From: Scott Long Sender: scottl@pooker.samsco.org To: Herve Boulouis In-Reply-To: <20040816190122.K30117@ra.aabs> Message-ID: <20040816205945.Q32601@pooker.samsco.org> References: <20040816190122.K30117@ra.aabs> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII X-Spam-Status: No, hits=0.0 required=3.8 tests=none autolearn=no version=2.63 X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 2.63 (2004-01-11) on pooker.samsco.org cc: freebsd-scsi@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Adding a raid volume without reboot X-BeenThere: freebsd-scsi@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: SCSI subsystem List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Tue, 17 Aug 2004 03:01:30 -0000 On Mon, 16 Aug 2004, Herve Boulouis wrote: > Hi list, > > I've a dell poweredge with an embedded adaptec raid controller (aac driver) > and I would like to know if it is possible to add a new raid volume without > rebooting. > > It seems you can create the new volume while the system is running > using the aaccli utility but will freebsd see the new device (/dev/aacd...) > when it is created ? Is creating the missing /dev entries sufficient ? On FreeBSD 5.x, the /dev/aacdX entry will be created as soon as the controller announces it. On 4.x you might need to manually create the node, and that is irregardless of needing a reboot or not. So the short answer is that FreeBSD will see arrays come and go in real time on Adaptec RAID controllers and will do the right thing.

That's great news ! Is this behavior driver dependent or does it apply to all others raid & scsi drivers ?

Some SCSI and SCSI-like RAID drivers will announce state changes to the SCSI layer, others don't. Scott
