I can't provide any more details as I didn't bother debugging this any further and just installed CentOS 6 (support until 2020 is more than enough for this server). 2I box 1 bay 8 HP DG0300FARVV PDVSRZHE HPD2 OK /dev/cciss/c0d2(Smart Array.
Hp cciss linux utility driver#
cciss is a block driver for older HP Smart Array RAID controllers. "hpssacli" (apparently) led the HW to fail one of physical disks every time I queried controller/logical disk/physical disk states. Opensource tool ccissvolstatus provides ability to list all devices in the. cciss - HP Smart Array block driver SYNOPSIS modprobe cciss ccissallowhpsa1 DESCRIPTION Note: This obsolete driver was removed from the kernel in version 4.14, as it is superseded by the hpsa(4) driver in newer kernels. But, "hpacucli" was not there any more, there is "hpssacli" using which You apparently can screw up logical drives.
Hp cciss linux utility install#
HP recently published MCP repository for CentOS 7 and I was glad that before finishing my work, I will be able to also install HP tools for appropriate OS version. HOWEVER, what I wanted to actually say is BE CAREFUL. The 3.4.20-125 driver does have Hanness patches to support legacy cciss controllers, I see the following: Gave up waiting for root file system device. To this point all was fine, but I could not use other tools from MCP repository (snmp agents and System Management) due to unresolvable dependencies (it's was CentOS 6 repository after all). The file bootworking4.13.16.log show the cciss block driver managing your boot disk, and the file bootnotworkingkernel4-14andabove.log show the change to the hpsa driver. I even installed "hpacucli" from HPs "MCP" repository for CentOS 6 to query physical and logical drive status. I also used "hpsa_simple_mode=1" and "hpsa_allow_any=1" module parameters for customer server I had to install - DL 360 G5 with P400i. Be careful with using CentOS 7 and RAID controllers that are supported by cciss module.
