Hello, I am using in a dual Xeon Server a SRCU42X SCSI RAID controller by Intel. Fully equipped with 12 SCSI drives. (two different RAID5 drives). But I am fighting with a very poor performance. When copying large files (2GB) from one directory to another I am getting 13MB/seconds.
master ~ # uname -a Linux master 2.6.22-gentoo-r9 #7 SMP Sun Nov 25 16:35:34 CET 2007 i686 Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 3.06GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux I am using the Megaraid kernel drivers. master ~ # grep -i mega /usr/src/linux/.config CONFIG_MEGARAID_NEWGEN=y CONFIG_MEGARAID_MM=y CONFIG_MEGARAID_MAILBOX=y master ~ # lspci -v 04:00.0 RAID bus controller: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic MegaRAID (rev 02) Subsystem: Intel Corporation MegaRAID Intel RAID Controller SRCU42X Flags: bus master, stepping, 66MHz, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 20 Memory at ff6f0000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=64K] Memory at fe780000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=512K] Expansion ROM at fe760000 [disabled] [size=128K] Capabilities: [c0] Power Management version 2 Capabilities: [d0] Message Signalled Interrupts: Mask- 64bit+ Queue=0/1 Enable- Capabilities: [e0] PCI-X non-bridge device Also I can't use the webconsole of Intel. Not sure, if it's expecting the kernel driver as a module. When starting the webconsole and accessing it via http://IP:3570/ I am getting: "No Raid Servers available" Any ideas ?
