Dear ALL!
I have a Intel XEON based server and Compaq StorageWorks FC adapter with FC disk subsystem.
I did not found any info about drivers available in FreeBSD-5.4-RELEASE-p8 (maybe vendor developed drivers/utilities?).

Could you please help? is there any solution to make this three parts (server, FC adapter and disk subsystem) to work under FreeBSD? 


*What* Compaq StorageWorks adapter?  There are lots of different
adapters, both from own Compaq production as well as QLogic and Emulex
OEM origin.  Only the Qlogics have a driver in FreeBSD, isp(4).


Hello and thanks for the replay.
Here is what i can find in the board
Compaq
1999 compaq
66MHz 64bit PCI controller
SP# 161290-001
DG# 010007-000
AS# 010006-001
Rev 0E
P225C0EBFK3JXE
The biggest chip is Agilent Tachyon TS HPFC-5166A/1.2 L2C1090 J 0026 WEC26005

On the other side:
BOARD NO 01008-001 A/W REV A FAB REV A
2000 (logo) NM4 94V-0

Could you please tell me if this will work under FreeBSD? Because i cannot find any QLogic lables or chips. And cannot take this to "play"


No luck I'm afraid. Like you say, the Qlogic chips are easily distinguishable. What you have sounds like a Compaq-design, the folks
in HOU used to use the Tachyon chips quite a lot. These days we OEM most (all?) of the FC HBAs.

Thanks for the replay.
Could you please supply me with the right card name that will work with FreeBSD and this StorageWorks array?
Maybe i can find something cheep to use this box?
And is there any software to manage the array box (in case i'll get QLogic card) or i'll have boot into windows to change 0+1 array type to something else?

Best regards,
Anton Nikiforov
