Linux Server not finding Virtual Drives, MD3200

Hello,

I am new to the MD32xx, and was hoping for a little help on what is going on.

The MD3200 appears to be setup correctly at this point.  I already have a Windows server hooked up to it and working just fine.  Also, it detects the Linux servers card, and seems to work.  The linux server, however, does not seem to detect the virtual drive that I have recently attached.

In the docs, it says to run rescan_dm_devs.  I assume this has been replaced with SMdevices.

# SMdevices

Modular Disk Storage Manager Devices, Version 10.01.A6.04

Modular Disk Storage Manager Devices found no devices - terminating

 

I restarted the SMagent before this as well, which doesn't seem to help.

I restarted the machine this morning in order to change the SAS card setting so that the MD3200 would auto detect it.  I see this in the log file.

# grep sg /var/log/messages

Aug 16 09:57:05 localhost kernel: scsi 0:0:32:0: Attached scsi generic sg0 type 13

Aug 16 09:57:05 localhost kernel: sd 0:2:1:0: Attached scsi generic sg2 type 0

 

This seems interesting :

# ls -l /dev/.udev/failed/ | grep sg

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 27 Aug 16 09:56 class@scsi_generic@sg0 -> /sys/class/scsi_generic/sg0

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 27 Aug 16 09:56 class@scsi_generic@sg1 -> /sys/class/scsi_generic/sg1

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 27 Aug 16 09:56 class@scsi_generic@sg2 -> /sys/class/scsi_generic/sg2

 

 

I am running Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.3, 32-bit.

 

I see that RHEL 5.4+ is supported, and that possibly some packages where not installed because of this?  Specifically : mpt2sas-02.00.02.00-2dkms.noarch.rpm, and scsi_dh_rdac-1.4.1.2-3dkms.noarch.rpm.

Do I just need to install these packages?

 

Any comments are useful.  Thanks,  Aaron
