This patch adds new PCI and subsystem ID's that finally made the spec. It also include a name change for one controller. I know there's a lot of duplicat names but the fw folks wanted this for the different implementations. Even though the same ASIC is used it may be embedded on some platforms, standup card in others, and a mezzanine in other servers.

If nodes are not already created in the /dev/cciss directory, run as root:
|
|
|
|
# cd /dev
|
|
# ./MAKEDEV cciss
|
|
|
|
Device Naming:
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
You need some entries in /dev for the cciss device. The MAKEDEV script
|
|
can make device nodes for you automatically. Currently the device setup
|
|
is as follows:
|
|
|
|
Major numbers:
|
|
104 cciss0
|
|
105 cciss1
|
|
106 cciss2
|
|
105 cciss3
|
|
108 cciss4
|
|
109 cciss5
|
|
110 cciss6
|
|
111 cciss7
|
|
|
|
Minor numbers:
|
|
b7 b6 b5 b4 b3 b2 b1 b0
|
|
|----+----| |----+----|
|
|
| |
|
|
| +-------- Partition ID (0=wholedev, 1-15 partition)
|
|
|
|
|
+-------------------- Logical Volume number
|
|
|
|
The device naming scheme is:
|
|
/dev/cciss/c0d0 Controller 0, disk 0, whole device
|
|
/dev/cciss/c0d0p1 Controller 0, disk 0, partition 1
|
|
/dev/cciss/c0d0p2 Controller 0, disk 0, partition 2
|
|
/dev/cciss/c0d0p3 Controller 0, disk 0, partition 3
|
|
|
|
/dev/cciss/c1d1 Controller 1, disk 1, whole device
|
|
/dev/cciss/c1d1p1 Controller 1, disk 1, partition 1
|
|
/dev/cciss/c1d1p2 Controller 1, disk 1, partition 2
|
|
/dev/cciss/c1d1p3 Controller 1, disk 1, partition 3
|
|
|
|
SCSI tape drive and medium changer support
|
|
------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
SCSI sequential access devices and medium changer devices are supported and
|
|
appropriate device nodes are automatically created. (e.g.
|
|
/dev/st0, /dev/st1, etc. See the "st" man page for more details.)
|
|
You must enable "SCSI tape drive support for Smart Array 5xxx" and
|
|
"SCSI support" in your kernel configuration to be able to use SCSI
|
|
tape drives with your Smart Array 5xxx controller.
|
|
|
|
Additionally, note that the driver will not engage the SCSI core at init
|
|
time. The driver must be directed to dynamically engage the SCSI core via
|
|
the /proc filesystem entry which the "block" side of the driver creates as
|
|
/proc/driver/cciss/cciss* at runtime. This is because at driver init time,
|
|
the SCSI core may not yet be initialized (because the driver is a block
|
|
driver) and attempting to register it with the SCSI core in such a case
|
|
would cause a hang. This is best done via an initialization script
|
|
(typically in /etc/init.d, but could vary depending on distibution).
|
|
For example:
|
|
|
|
for x in /proc/driver/cciss/cciss[0-9]*
|
|
do
|
|
echo "engage scsi" > $x
|
|
done
|
|
|
|
Once the SCSI core is engaged by the driver, it cannot be disengaged
|
|
(except by unloading the driver, if it happens to be linked as a module.)
|
|
|
|
Note also that if no sequential access devices or medium changers are
|
|
detected, the SCSI core will not be engaged by the action of the above
|
|
script.
|
|
|
|
Hot plug support for SCSI tape drives
|
|
-------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Hot plugging of SCSI tape drives is supported, with some caveats.
|
|
The cciss driver must be informed that changes to the SCSI bus
|
|
have been made, in addition to and prior to informing the SCSI
|
|
mid layer. This may be done via the /proc filesystem. For example:
|
|
|
|
echo "rescan" > /proc/scsi/cciss0/1
|
|
|
|
This causes the adapter to query the adapter about changes to the
|
|
physical SCSI buses and/or fibre channel arbitrated loop and the
|
|
driver to make note of any new or removed sequential access devices
|
|
or medium changers. The driver will output messages indicating what
|
|
devices have been added or removed and the controller, bus, target and
|
|
lun used to address the device. Once this is done, the SCSI mid layer
|
|
can be informed of changes to the virtual SCSI bus which the driver
|
|
presents to it in the usual way. For example:
|
|
|
|
echo scsi add-single-device 3 2 1 0 > /proc/scsi/scsi
|
|
|
|
to add a device on controller 3, bus 2, target 1, lun 0. Note that
|
|
the driver makes an effort to preserve the devices positions
|
|
in the virtual SCSI bus, so if you are only moving tape drives
|
|
around on the same adapter and not adding or removing tape drives
|
|
from the adapter, informing the SCSI mid layer may not be necessary.
|
|
|
|
Note that the naming convention of the /proc filesystem entries
|
|
contains a number in addition to the driver name. (E.g. "cciss0"
|
|
instead of just "cciss" which you might expect.)
|
|
|
|
Note: ONLY sequential access devices and medium changers are presented
|
|
as SCSI devices to the SCSI mid layer by the cciss driver. Specifically,
|
|
physical SCSI disk drives are NOT presented to the SCSI mid layer. The
|
|
physical SCSI disk drives are controlled directly by the array controller
|
|
hardware and it is important to prevent the kernel from attempting to directly
|
|
access these devices too, as if the array controller were merely a SCSI
|
|
controller in the same way that we are allowing it to access SCSI tape drives.
