Hi,

I have 2 new Sun Storedge A1000 machines,The both have 12 9.1gb disks.

And both have their own Raid controllers.

Does anyone know how to get these beast working under any linux version?

I have Usparc machines, but they are way to big to keep running just for
storage (E450).

I'd like to just plug a scsi card into any of my normal systems (which
give a whole bunch of more cpu power per consumed watt.) and access the
storage space.

I have the original Scsi controllers sun normally uses, and it does get
installed by my suse machine.

Im using gentoo on the machine with the controller.

Thanks for any tip.s

Hi,

I installed the controller card in my mahine which runs suse and detects
and install it correctly. (it can use normal scsi hardware)

However i was unable to get anything out of the a1000, so il try to
config it first with one of the sun machines.

The gentoo system was mentioned because il be running that on my
fileserver, and if there were known problems with it, anyone posting to
this question qould know the situation completely and could tell me
about them.

Thanks a lot.
