  • Page 2 - The Adaptec Storage Manager User's Guide contains complete installation instructions for the Adaptec Storage Manager software. The Adaptec RAID Controllers Command Line Utility User's Guide contains complete installation instructions for ARCCONF, Remote ARCCONF, and the Adaptec CIM Provider. The Adaptec RAID Controllers Installation and User's Guide contains complete installation instructions for Adaptec RAID controllers and drivers.
  • Page 3 - Because the RPM for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 is unsigned, the installer reports that the package is "Unsigned, Malicious Software". Ignore the message and continue the installation. - To run Adaptec Storage Manager under Red Hat Enterprise Linux for x64, the Standard installation with "Compatibility Arch Support" is required.
  • Page 4 .LOG file reaches a size of 1 Mbyte. If a .1 file already exists, the existing .1 file is destroyed. - In the Event viewer, Adaptec Storage Manager reports both the initial build task for a logical drive and a subsequent Verify/Fix as a "Build/Verify"...
  • Page 5 WORKAROUND: Press ALT+F4 or right-click on the title bar, then close the dialog box from the pop-up menu. 4.7 Linux and FreeBSD - If you cannot connect to a local or remote Adaptec Storage Manager installed on a Linux or FreeBSD system, verify that the TCP/IP hosts...
  • Page 6 "Rescan". - With VMware ESX 4.1, the OS command 'esxcfg-scsidevs -a' incorrectly identifies the Adaptec ASR-5445 controller as "Adaptec ASR5800". (ASM itself identifies the controller correctly.) To verify the controller name at the OS level, use this command to check the /proc file system: # cat /proc/scsi/aacraid/<Node #>...
  • Page 7 5.2 RAID 10 Notes - If you force online a failed RAID 10, ASM erroneously shows two drives rebuilding (the two underlying member drives), not one. - You cannot change the priority of a RAID 10 verify. Setting the priority at the start of a verify has no effect. The priority is still shown as high.
  • Page 8 When migrating from a RAID 0 to any redundant logical drive, like RAID 5 or 10, Adaptec Storage Manager shows the status as "Degraded Reconfiguring" for a moment, then the status changes to "Reconfiguring." The "Degraded" status does not appear in the event log.
  • Page 9 - With Linux kernel versions 2.4 and 2.6, the ARCCONF DELETE <logical_drive> command may fail with a Kernel Oops error message. Even though the drives are removed from the Adaptec Storage Manager GUI, they may not really be deleted. Reboot the controller; then, issue the ARCCONF DELETE command again.
  • Page 10 The repair operation completes successfully, but the software remains unfixed. - Adaptec Storage Manager may fail to exit properly when you create 64 logical devices in the wizard. The logical devices are still created, however. - The "Clear logs on all controllers" action does not clear events in the ASM Event Viewer (GUI).
