You setup the controller with the configuration utility that came with the controller. Basically just boot the system from the cd then configure the RAID. Then bring the system back up and the "logical drives" that you made can be accessed by your OS. -----Mike -----Original Message----- From: Gediminas Vilutis [mailto:gedas@itpa.lt] Sent: Friday, January 14, 2000 7:38 AM To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Compaq Smart Array 221 on non Compaq servers Hi, We have a problem with Compaq Smart Array 221 controller. We are trying to use it on non-Compaq server (Intel LB440GX 2U server system, with Intel L440GX+ motherboard). The problem we encountered is that we can't setup RAID array. I.e., FreeBSD (and Linux) drivers sees controller correctly, but all Compaq utilities, that we were able to find, are either NT based (haven't tried them yet) or complain that motherboard doesn't support some function (ecc error checking on pci bus or something like that). So, does anybody know how to setup a RAID array on this controller? Or is that controller dead thing on non-compaq servers?
