Hi,

The old 'Storage Manager' and 'raidutil' tools do not work with
the newer generation of Adaptec RAID cards.  The newer genreation
use 'Storage Manager Browser Edition' for the GUI and 'aaccli' for
the CLI.  I ported the aaccli program to FreeBSD a few years ago,
but it has fallen out of date and I don't recommend using it with
the 2120/2200 cards.  You can, however, extract the Linux version
of 'aaccli' from the CD that comes with the card and run it under
FreeBSD.  You'll need the normal linux compatibility tools, and
you'll need to either compile your kernel with AAC_COMPAT_LINUX
or load the 'aac_linux.ko' kernel module.
