sautil and saconfig

[EU-Admins-UNIX]

Hi All

I have an RP7420 running 11.31 attached to an MSA30, and I can sautil and saconfig the /dev/ciss0 device.

I also have an 8420 running 11.31 attached to an MSA1000, but i cannot saconfig or sautil.  It doesn't have the /dev/cissx device file.

Any idea?  Is there a driver or some software I should install?

This is pretty normal.

The SA6400 controller is in your server, hence you can use saconfig/sautil.

The MSA1000 is an array with the controllers inside, so you can only use the serial CLI of the array to configure.

Thanks Torsten

Leading to my other forum:

Thanks

[Torsten.]

Please tell there if you can see the additional space in the array now?
