| | 5 | '''2008/08/26''' -- New available packages: megamgr (access MegaRAID |
| | 6 | BIOS from Linux), dellmgr (same as megamgr, but Dell specific) and 3Ware |
| | 7 | 3DM2 (web interface for all 3Ware cards). |
| | 8 | |
| | 9 | '''2008/08/25''' -- I just finished to build all packages and create |
| | 10 | the Debian repository. All softwares are now available for Etch |
| | 11 | amd64/i386 ! |
| | 12 | |
| | 13 | '''2008/08/25''' -- The website has just started up. 3ware page is |
| | 14 | nearly finished and all kind of LSI cards have been listed.[[BR]] |
| | 15 | We are working hard to fill the wiki. |
| | 16 | [[NewsFlashEnd]] |
| | 17 | This website aims to be the '''starting point''' for people wondering |
| | 18 | how to use and manage and '''harware RAID''' HBAs on |
| | 19 | '''GNU/Linux'''.[[BR]] |
| | 20 | There are many vendor and model of hardware controllers. Some are fully |
| | 21 | supported on Linux, some are nearly unusable. |
| | 22 | |
| | 23 | Having a kernel driver for the card is the first thing needed. However, |
| | 24 | once it's done the sysadmin needs to be able to '''manage''', and of |
| | 25 | course to '''keep in touch''' with the disks status to be able to |
| | 26 | replace a failed disk as soon as possible.[[BR]] |
| | 27 | This aspect is really important and we will try to tell you most of all |
| | 28 | we know about '''opensource and proprietary tools''' used to |
| | 29 | '''report''' card and disks status. |
| | 30 | |
| | 31 | Please notice the information available on this site have been provided |
| | 32 | by sysadmin on their free time in the hope it could be useful.[[BR]] |
| | 33 | There's of course no warranty about all what's written or downloadable |
| | 34 | here. However we do our best to have fully verified informations. |
| | 35 | |
