[just for a record]

Hi all,

It seems ips(4) doesn't support ServeRAID 7k, however I just
installed 5.3-RELEASE/i386 on IBM x236 which has ServeRAID
7k installed. Everything looks fine here (I'm running RAID-5 over
4 HDDs).

A little problem is that once a HDD fails, FreeBSD doesn't
know that unless I reboot it and saw the ips state is DEGRADED.


pciconf & dmesg are listed as below:

ips0@pci3:14:0: class=0x010400 card=0x028e1014 chip=0x02509005 rev=0x07 hdr=0x00
    vendor   = 'Adaptec Inc'
    class    = mass storage
    subclass = RAID

ips0: <Adaptec ServeRAID Adapter> mem 0xcfffd000-0xcfffdfff irq 38 at
device 14.0 on pci3
ips0: Reserved 0x1000 bytes for rid 0x10 type 3 at 0xcfffd000
ips0: [GIANT-LOCKED]
ips0: logical drives: 1
ips0: Logical Drive 0: RAID5 sectors: 430116864, state OK
ipsd0: <Logical Drive> on ips0
ipsd0: Logical Drive  (210018MB)
