Solution Type Technical Instruction Sure Solution 1007109.1 : Internal RAID controllers on T1000/T2000, T5120/T5220/T5140/T5240, V215/V245/V440/V445, Ultra 25/45 and Sun Blade T6300/T6320/T6340
PreviouslyPublishedAs 209801 Description Different SPARC platforms have different support requirements on internal H/W RAIDs. This document provides basic information of the LSI-H/W-RAID functionality on the Sun Fire[TM] Mid-range- and Work group servers Sun Fire[TM] T1000, T2000, netra T2000, T5120, T5220, T5140, T5240, V215, V245, V445, V440, Netra 440, Workstations Ultra[TM] 25 and Ultra 45 and Sun Blade[TM] T6300, T6320, T6340 To discuss this information further with Oracle experts and industry peers, we encourage you to review, join or start a discussion in the My Oracle Support Community, Entrylevel Servers Community. Steps to Follow Support Differences on Internal LSI-RAID controllers on SPARC platforms: Hardware LSI 1030 is
on-board for V440/Netra 440 - even though some PCI HBAs use the same chip, RAID functionality is only supported with the on-board controller for V440/Netra 440 Device paths You can determine the type and/or path of the HBA via different methods: From Solaris: # cfgadm
-alv # prtdiag
-v # prtconf
-vp # prtpicl
-v From
explorer: From the
OBP: e.g. ok
probe-scsi-all e.g. ok
show-disks choose the right
path: The current paths to LSI-controllers are: Ultra25
Ultra45 V440 V215 V245 V445 V445 with 501-7244 SAS controller T1000 T2000 T6300 T6320 T5120 T5220 T5140/T5240 T6340 The kernel driver module for all those LSI-controller is "mpt". Special Information
NOTE:
There are no sense data logged on RAID-controller to
determine a disk, that is already "leaky", but not yet
FAILED by LSI chip firmware. Firmware and Patches Remember to install the right and best OBP version, because OBP contains the proper driver to communicate with FCode on HBA. Current firmware/FCode: lsi1030-fw-1.03.11.01 Above codes can be reached either by factory default implementation, proper OBP-upgrade or by use of following patches lsi1030-fw-1.03.11.01 sas1064 on
T1000 sas1064 on T2000
with PCI-X Plugin cards FCode_1_00_40.ROM sas1068 on
V445 In general HBA
fcodes are part of obp code on machines with on-board HBAs. Required Solaris patches: Solaris
8: Solaris
9: Solaris 10: <SUNPATCH: 143128-04>
(or later) SunOS 5.10: MPT driver patch In general mpt driver is part of kernel patches of Sol9 and Sol10; kernel patching is required.
