[WBEL-users] hostRAID support on Some Adaptec Cards

[Erik Williamson]

Hi All,

Just wondering if anyone has had any success using hostRAID on some 
Adaptec Cards (I've got an AIC 7902 on a Sunfire V60x) with WBEL.  My 
goal is so do a RAID-1 mirror of the disks.  If I leave hostRAID off, I 
can use software raid to sort of accomplish this - But it's klunky and 
I'd rather have a true mirror.

Alas, if I turn on hostRAID, and create a RAID-1 mirror of the disks, it 
is not recognized/found by the installer - I gather that there isn't a 
driver from Adaptec that supports this feature.

Here's the drivers Adaptec has made available are here:

Thanks for any advice!
Erik.
