Re: hw mirroring for rootdisks (bl860c)
Ur going correct,
U can make hardware mirror in BL860C no issue in tht.
go to shell>drvcfg -s
it will tak u to RAID controller array..
Configure it there.
Hope this solves ur issue.
Don't forget to assign points.
Regards

At the shell, enter the command "drivers"
Identify the driver you are looking for, the driver "id" is the value on the left.

Re: hw mirroring for rootdisks (bl860c)
I think you might be talking about the newer "i2" blades which come with the p4XX controllers...
But the issue is that the controller is in HBA mode (see your attached output). It should be in RAID mode...then the drvcfg etc. commands will work.
There is a process to do this - see attached. Note that you require a later version of "saupdate.efi" which you need to run that the UEFI prompt.
Everything you need should be in the attached zip file...
Hope that helps...

Re: hw mirroring for rootdisks (bl860c)
I hope for BL860c there is a straight option is there like normal Smart Array controllers. It will give a option after enter into EFI shell to Press F8 Key to enter into Array Configuration utility.
As function keys will not work in serial console. You need to press Esc and then Numaric 8 to emulate as F8 and then you can configure RAID.
the method drvcfg -s

SolutionGrahamswilson provided you the solution to your problem. However the attached file seems to have an issue, so i just provide you the URL where you can download the necessary files to upgrade the I/O firmware of the BL8x0 i2 blades which allows you to use the array controller in RAID mode, now you are on older firmware which did not had this feature enabled yet.
So just upgrade the I/O firmware and you will be able to configure the hardware raid on the P410i SmartArray.

Re: hw mirroring for rootdisks (bl860c)
you have to use the commands 'drivers' and 'drvcfg' first to find the number/instance of the driver of the smartarray that you then configure using drvcfg xx yy with the -s option. So it is a 3 step process. It seems you did not supplied any numbers with the drvcfg comamnd, only the -s option, this does not work, the command does not know which card/ EFI driver you want to configure.
Pls find an example below and change the numbers ( 9B CD ) that match with your output results. If it still fails, pls provide the output in the forum.

Re: hw mirroring for rootdisks (bl860c)
Can someone tell me how to change controller from HBA mode to RAID mode?
GrahamsWilson's attachment is not accessible, if someone has it please upload it again.
Thanks in advance.
