    Drivers requests for DSM 5.2

    in DSM 5.2 and earlier (Legacy)

    Posted

    Hi,

     

    Would it be possible to add driver support for HP Proliant software controllers (like the B120i one)? Basically the hpvsa driver.

     

    Thanks!

     

    Like the rest of the "B" series Smart Array controllers, this device is a software based RAID controller. A driver enables the RAID function.

    The driver is called hpvsa.

    This driver is close source by HP and it's only available for Red Hat (CentOS) and SUSE, so we can't add it to XPEnoboot.

     

    If you disble the RAID function in systems ROM of your Smart Array, the systems treats the controller as a standard disk controller so you can use either SATA or SAS drives and DSM "should" detects your drives.

     

    It does not work to operate Smart Array E200 controller, what to see?

     

    This controller is supported by cciss driver BUT:

     

    The cciss driver is a block driver, while the hpsa driver is a SCSI driver.

    This means that logical drives which would be presented with devices nodes like "/dev/cciss/c0d0" with cciss driver and "/dev/sdX" with hpsa.

    Unfortunately I think DSM only detect drive with /dev/sdX style.

     

    You can test to disable RAID in your E200 controller and maybe like above the systems will treats the controller as a standard disk controller.

    Yes to both.

     

    I can use it without any problem but when they want ... a disk or a pair become offline. just unplug and plug again and go online again but the raid could be degraded or just faulty

     

    Did you "build" your raid with the onboard software or did you let DSM do it for you ?

    Did you try to change SATA mode in AHCI, IDE or RAID ?

    Hi, i think that this is asked before but ... i think that there are some problems with the drivers of the Asus P9A-I motherboard.

     

    I'm having a lot of issues with the Marvell 88SE9485 SAS controller. I can't make a stable raid.

    Right now all the drives are new and works fine with other systems.

     

    Right now i'm runing 5.2-5967.1 and the mvsas module loads fine, i don't know what can be faulty

     

    Did you see your disks during setup ?

    Did you manage to install DSM on it ?

     

    Give more details please :wink:

    Sorry for the stupid question, but if its a driverless hardware device than it should work right?

     

    thanks

     

    I don't think you can use this interface like normal lan interface because it is dedicated for IPMI use.

    On the other hand the X10SDV-4C-TLN2F have two onboard intel 10gb interfaces wich are supported by the ixgbe driver :smile:

    Hi,

     

    I would just like to ask if the drivers for

    1 Realtek RTL8201N PHY (dedicated IPMI) and supported. If not, will they be in the near future.

     

    Its for the supermicro xeon d MB.

     

    Thanks

     

    From realtek website:

    Q9: Why don't I find RTL8201x driver on the website?

A9: 
RTL8201, RTL8201BL, RTL8201CL, RTL8201CP, RTL8201N and RTL8211B(L) are all PHYceiver. That is a driverless hardware device. Software driver are relative to Network controller ( MAC ) which is integrated into chipset in such case mostly. Please contact your mother board maker or chipset manufacturer to obtain proper driver support.

     

    I would love to see Prolific and FTDI USB Serial drivers included

     

    I will check for this.

     

    Dear Trantor,

     

    is there a place to download and test dev builds?

     

    Thanks a lot

     

    No place to dowload dev builds but maybe in the future.

     

    What's going on with the new version now? The summer is here and those fan/temp sensors would be more than useful.

     

    It will be available when the development team will have more free time...

    I am sorry, I thought that was what I was doing!

    I looked into this list before posting...

    http://xpenology.me/compatible/

    ...and Realtek RTL8111GR is not included.

     

    Sorry that the CPU question drifted off - but since the J3160 is a very new CPU stepping isn't it logical to assume that throttling does not work due to a lack of drivers?

     

    Intel P-State will support this CPU.

    Realtek RTL8111GR is recent too. I will look to update r8168 to the latest version.

     

    EDIT:

    Others have issues with this network adapter : http://forums.openmediavault.org/index. ... -any-luck/

    According http://cciss.sourceforge.net/

     

    The intent with newer kernels (2.6.36-ish) is to remove this overlap so the sets of controllers supported by hpsa and cciss are disjoint.

     

    So I think cciss in our kernel (v3.10) "only" have this support:

       Smart Array 5300
   Smart Array 5312
   Smart Array 532
   Smart Array 5i
   Smart Array 6400
   Smart Array 6400 EM
   Smart Array 641
   Smart Array 642
   Smart Array 6422
   Smart Array 6i
   Smart Array E200
   Smart Array E200i
   Smart Array E500
   Smart Array P600
   Smart Array P400
   Smart Array P400i
   Smart Array P700m
   Smart Array P800

     

    and hpsa have:

       Gen6/7 Controllers
   Smart Array P212
   Smart Array P410
   Smart Array P410i
   Smart Array P411
   Smart Array P812
   Smart Array P712m
   Smart Array P711m 

   Gen8 Controllers
   Smart Array P222
   Smart Array P420
   Smart Array P420i
   Smart Array P421
   Smart Array P822
   Smart Array P220i
   Smart Array P721 

   Gen8.5 Controllers
   Smart Array P430
   Smart Array P430i
   Smart Array P431
   Smart Array P830
   Smart Array P830i
   Smart Array P831
   Smart Array P731m
   Smart Array P230i
   Smart Array P530
   Smart Array P531 

   Gen9 Controllers
   Smart Array P440
   Smart Array P441
   Smart Array P840
   Smart Array P440ar
   Smart Array P244br
   Smart HBA H240
   Smart HBA H241
   Smart HBA H240ar
   Smart HBA H244br 

   Storage Appliance Controllers
   HP StorageWorks 1210m
   HP Storage P1224 Array Controller
   HP Storage P1228 Array Controller
   HP Storage P1228m Array Controller
   HP Storage P1224e Array Controller
   HP Storage P1228e Array Controller
   HP Storage P1228em Array Controller

     

    If your P420i is supported by both you will have to rmmod cciss module at boot to force hpsa driver and have scsi support (/dev/sdX)

    @Trantor, will new loader be compatibile with lastest 5.2 (power management working again)?

     

    Maybe but not sure because checking protected files takes time.

    No idea about power management (I assume you are refering to power off by button ?) I will try it.

     

     

    No ETA because I'm waiting for an usb wifi dongle to check/fix wifi detection, and hoping to fix it like I did with DVB.

    This will be very good if we succeed to build a working version with iscsi, dvb and wifi working :smile:

    Trantor, just an info please, i use tbs dvb drivers compiled on version 5592 on xpe boot 5592.

     

    Its possible to update to last 5.2 veraion and have dvb working or latest xpe boot doesent havr dvb eabled?

     

    Many users complain about this... I just bought a PCTV nanoStick DVB-T adapter to clear this out.

     

    I set the P420i in to HBA mode as per the third post in the link https://hardforum.com/threads/hp-dl380p-gen8-p420i-controller-hbamode.1852528/

     

    My problem is that the hpsa driver included in the latest version of 5644 works if I configure a single raid 0 disk but then I lose all of the smart info and random disk numbers are assigned. When I set it to HBA mode DSM installation just says no hard disks found. Can you please assist. Also I am unable to login using the ssh/telnet password calculator to even see if the disk is being detected within dsm.

     

    Maybe the current hpsa driver (v2.x) is to old to support HBA properly.

    I read on VMware forums that some users have the same issue as you. They update driver and firmware to fix it.

    Try to update the firmware, the hpsa driver will be updated to the latest in next build.

     

    Please add support for Realtek® PCIe GBE Family

    Thank you

     

    Please check : viewtopic.php?f=2&t=10973 before asking.
