Where is my /dev/ciss file?
Hi
I have an 8420 attached to an MSA1000. I can't locate the /dev/cissx file to run sautil or saconfig? I also ran sautil with run_startup_script, with no luck.
I have been able to interrogate the MSA1000 from the O/S before.
I attach an ioscan.
Any ideas?
Regards
Tariq

Re: Where is my /dev/ciss file?
You don't have a /dev/ciss file, because you don't have a smartarray controller at all.
You can manage the MSA1000 from the CLI (serial line) only.
Hope this helps!
Regards
Torsten.

Re: Where is my /dev/ciss file?
Hi Torsten
I was under the assumption that there was always a requirement for a RAID controller. Otherwise, how would one interrogate the storage?

Re: Where is my /dev/ciss file?
No, the MSA has own storage controllers. You connect via fibre.
As a special the windows ACU can access the MSA1000 just like a smartarray controller.
You don't have a ciss device file for any other array, right (EVA,P2000,etc)?
Just for internal smartarray controllers.
;-)
Hope this helps!
Regards
Torsten.

Re: Where is my /dev/ciss file?
OK, I have access to the CLI and can talk to the array now.
Thanks Torsten
