Last weekend we have had a terrible crash on our DL360. 2 disks on raid 0+1 crashed completely. Without a warning we lost most of our data. I think it had something to do with the standard cciss drivers that comes with Fedora Core 3. It was completely up2date wich of course could also be the problem.
Now I was thinking to install the CCISS drivers from the HP site. I tryed the drivers for Redhat AS 2.1 but the installation won't start :). To bad.
Is there anyone with a good suggestion ?
Solved! Go to Solution.

SolutionCan you provide the specific versions of the cciss drivers and where you got them?
You should only use drivers that the hp site says are specifically supported for your OS. Using drivers for other versions of Fedora Core can lead to the results you have received.

Re: FC 3 & cpq_cciss drivers
If you want to use Redhat 2.1 AS use the latest update.
That will work smoothly
Cheers

Re: FC 3 & cpq_cciss drivers
Steven, see the version info below:
filename: /lib/modules/2.6.12-1.1381_FC3smp/kernel/drivers/block/cciss.ko
author: Hewlett-Packard Company
description: Driver for HP Controller SA5xxx SA6xxx version 2.6.6
version: 2.6.6
license: GPL
vermagic: 2.6.12-1.1381_FC3smp SMP 686 REGPARM 4KSTACKS gcc-3.4
depends: scsi_mod
Vipul, i tryed the latest version of Redhat 2.1 but i'm running Fedora Core 3. Before completing the installation it does some kind of OS check, and then it stops. Did you installed it successfully on Fedora ?

Re: FC 3 & cpq_cciss drivers
A workaround for a O.S. check can be accomplished by:
su - root
cp /etc/redhat-release /etc/redhat-release.orig
cat > /etc/redhat-release << EOF
Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 3 (Taroon)
EOF
After the installation, change it back by
cat /etc/redhat-release.orig > /etc/redhat-release.
Cheers,
Renarios

Renarios, isn't it stupid to do the workaround like Steven sayed in his reply ? I am realy carefull now because we lost a lot of data with the last crash.
Vipul,

Re: FC 3 & cpq_cciss drivers
I suggest you to switch to RH Enterprise Linux distro (or to CentOS - free RHEL clone).
Unlike Fedora, RH Enterprise Linux has a long life cycle (7 years), RH & HP test RHEL on all HP servers&storages - in short, it'll work more stable when Fedora Core.
Rgds,
Vitaly

Re: FC 3 & cpq_cciss drivers
My workaround is principally used for the installation of Oracle 10g on Fedora Core and not for hacking drivers in another operating system/flavour. What I meant was: If you are pretty darned sure the driver will work without risks, this is a possibility.
Cheers,
Renarios
