Hi I have a new Dell PowerEdge R640 server a PERC H740P RAID Controller.
I tried to install the latest 16.04 LTS Ubuntu on it, but during installation it failed to detect any disks. After pulling my hair out while diagnosing this issue for hours I finally found this thread. Can anyone confirm that the behavior I'm seeing (no disks showing up during setup) is because of the lacking support? If so, is there any way I can test this or to help to speed up the release, as I need to setup this server with Ubuntu but basically I'm stuck due to this. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1683587 Title: LSI Harpoon support in megaraid_sas module Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: The Dell PERC H740 series RAID controllers, codename "Harpoon", are not supported in standard Ubuntu kernels. The kernel patch to support these new devices is: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/45f4f2eb3da3cbff02c3d77c784c81320c733056 The relevant PCI IDs from the PCI database (http://pciids.sourceforge.net/v2.2/pci.ids) are: 0016 MegaRAID Tri-Mode SAS3508 1028 1fc9 PERC H840 Adapter 1028 1fcb PERC H740P Adapter 1028 1fcd PERC H740P Mini 1028 1fcf PERC H740P Mini They should be supported from Trusty onwards. The upstream commit is going in for 4.11, so this will need to be backported to v3.13/v4.4/v4.8/v4.10. I am working on SRU patches for this.
