Adaptec 5805

[urpyLLIKa]

Adaptec 5805.
Raid 5ee - 6disks.
Read & Write cache off (or on).
Operation system freebsd 7.1 x86
Drivers: aac or aacu (get from adaptec).
At the big loadings can`t "sync" disks, after 5-10 minutes system freeze. In system logs - no records.

[urpyLLIKa]

tunefs softupdate set off

[urpyLLIKa]

System freeze now every 60-90 minutes...
In console see error from adaptec controller.

[Rada]

Hi, I had the same problem with an Adaptec 5805. It seems that it's fixed with revision 188896 (http://svn.freebsd.org/viewvc/base?view=revision&revision=188896) which has made it in to FreeBSD 7.2 :)
The commit message doesn't even mention anything that could be related to what I know about the crashes, but the server has been running happily for several days now without a single crash.

[venom]

Rada, please try to stress test (long & high-load) on `bogbench` tool

[venom]

* `blogbench`

[Rada]

I'll have the opportunity to do so next month when we get a replacement server for the one currently running with the adaptec card.

Right now the server processes about 1TB of data (from a 6x1TB RAID5 array) using find and egrep through perl, so I don't want to interrupt it.
Running fine since 5th may on GENERIC kernel.
FreeBSD xx.xx.xx 7.2-RELEASE FreeBSD 7.2-RELEASE #0: Tue May 5 19:23:21 UTC 2009 xx@xx.xx.xx:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC amd64

[venom]

need high & long load (~100% in gstat)

[urpyLLIKa]

Problem resolved for me - change controllers to new 5805

OS: FreeBSD amd 7.1 and amd 7.2
FirmWare: Adaptec RAID 5805 Firmware Build 16501
Driver version: AACRAID 32- and 64-bit Driver Build 16343 for FreeBSD (compile for os as module and in kernel)
Raid level: 5ee (6x500gb or 6x750gb)
Uptime: 3-5 weeks - all work.

[venom]

urpyLLIKa, your problem was in hardware ?

[urpyLLIKa]

Yes.
I`m tested M$ Window$ and Linux (CentOS) on old hardware - trouble 1:1 - work same time and freeze. After change to new hardware - problem resolved.

[Rada]

The server crashed, problem isn't fixed in 7.2...

[Rada]

urpyLLIKa, how do you explain that we both had exactly identically defect cards?

[venom]

Rada, please give verbose description (with logs) of your`s server(controller crash) situation.

for identification defect cards need high&long load

1. check backplane connected (if need change to direct connect) and test - example for supermicro there is a feature
2. get latest firmware and driver for controller and flash it and build driver for this system (optional).
3. install over os
4. see in ports arcconf util, need get information and logs from controller.
5. create support adaptec ticket and attach logs to ticket
6. if there is a possibility - change the controller

This problem is currently under investigation. Last version we are checking now is "support more than 4 GB RAM DMA issue" it's not confirmed yet!!!!. So, check on your systems (who can) with less than 4 GB.

Please, send to me with flag in letter body >>>> for D.Zotov (FreeBSD 7.x problem)

russia_sales@adaptec.com (have to use this addy to prevent spam)

These files:

support.zip (for thise who has ASM installed)
1 In the Enterprise View, click the local or remote system on which the problem is occurring.
2 In the menu bar, select Actions, then click Save support archive.
3 Enter a name for the archive file or accept the default name, then click Save.

also

arcconf getlogs (4 parts)

Provides access to the status and event logs of a controller. You can retrieve four types of logs:



DEVICE—A log of any device errors the controller has encountered.

DEAD—A log that records any occurrences of defunct devices.

EVENT—A log of special events that may have occurred (e.g., rebuilds, LDMs, etc.).

UART— most "recent" 2MB worth of the UART traces

Syntax



ARCCONF GETLOGS <Controller#> <Type> [clear]

Parameters



Controller# is the controller number

Type is one of the following types of log to retrieve:

DEVICE

DEAD

EVENT

UART

Example



ARCCONF GETLOGS 1 DEVICE



If you put a greater-than sign (>) and a filename after any command, the output of the command will be sent to that file. For instance, to capture the output of the getlogs commands you can enter:



ARCCONF GETLOGS 1 UART > uart.log

And /var/log/messages

That could help to identify the problem and make changes if they are from Adaptec FW or driver level.

From time 2 time life brings quite difficult problem (oh, sound like shit happens) Anyway,,, We know now that sometimes replacement helps but sometimes not. I would like to stress that this problem is under investigation, if it turns to be a hardware problem with cards we will accept it and replace all cards,,,, no problem... but now we can't say so.

My system with 2405 (2 Series cards also had this problem on clients site) 32 works perfectly.

We now have 32 and 64 in Germany 16GB out of the box driver ... so far so good.

So, to help you I need you help.

1. If you make RMA replacement let me know what disti were used and what were S/N of replaced cards I could pick up cards for testing..

2. Some general info

FreeBSD Version:

Architecture:

System Host Memory:

Controller FW Version:

Driver Status – Update or out of the box – Version.

3. Log files from my previous post.


As soon as it's fixed or any assumptions are confirmed we will post it here.

Thank you for your help and understanding.

[Velopas]

This problem was never met under Windows. If you tested a FreeBSD problem card under Windows OS and Windows got frozen? How it happened (that's stunningly new info for me)? BSOD? Anything else?

Around 20 complaints FreeBSD 7.x Worldwide.

One ///without this forum/// for Linux.

Hmmm... This is FreeBSD forum and not M$ Forum or i`m not right? Windows TESTED too - freeze, not BSOD. On new controller after change - i can`t see problem on FreeBSD, Linux and M$ Windows.

[Velopas]

Hi Guys, I have some news for you.

1. This problem was duplicated in LAB, current assumption is a problem in driver.

2. Some correcting actions were worked out and under test now, u can take part… Two ways to check it:

- If you have a board with BIOS setting for the PCI Memory Mapped I/O above 4GB behavior of the system – simply turn of that and the problem should go away.
- Approach me (address is in above posting) to get test driver. Just update the system with the new driver package – please install with pkg_add and if formerly test driver is installed please use force command switch to install. If installation is successful the driver will report the following at startup. „THIS IS A TEST DRIVER WITH DMA >4GB DISABLED (NEW!)“ - Please verify with dmesg.

New info soon.

I do agree..... that's possible in this particular case that there are incompatible disks for some BACKPLANES (what is this system backplane?).

The whole logical chain...

Let's check compatibility list for 5805

Can u c this model there //Model : WD7502ABYS-0/FW(disk FW:03.00C05//?

Yes. Good.

What we know about this model? Insert "WD7502ABYS" in ASK search

2) The same for 5xx5 connected to some backplanes with expander

Do you have ANY BACKPLANES?

To fix it try SSC (Spread Spectrum Clocking) disabled (link to WD database with HOW TO) inside above ASK link.

As was said in some cases other problems not connected with Driver are mixed!!!!

It could be checked... just send me you SUPPORT.ZIP file.

And if you design/assemble/integrate server systems subscribe for our tech letters.... SAS is more complicated than SCSI.

Some news:: This fixed driver is being checked worldwide.

2 cases reported currently: for both cases it helped. More info soon.

[urpyLLIKa]

Answer from Adaptect support and from site adaptec.
1. update firmware - done - not help
2. check compatible hard disk - check - i have compatible seagate and wd disks - not help
3. check backplane - done, direct connect HDD to Adaptec controller - not help
4. disable SSC - done - not help


Now problem resolved, i can send logs from now working systems, old logs i can`t send

Hi All,

Only for FreeBSD 7.x=========

For all cases test driver was sent IT HELPED.

R and D dep is looking for a root cause and promised an official release of driver in a couple of weeks.

So, if you have a case described above with Adaptec RAID 5, 3, 2 Series, please, approach me for a FIXING DRIVER.

Please, use e-mail address russia_sales@adaptec.com
Please, make a ref: FREE BSD PROBLEM ADPml11405

or call official phone numbers from Adaptec WEB site adaptec.ru ====> About ====> Contacts ====> Russia

From 29.06.09 information about this case will be distributed among our integrators.

If you have any other case with suspicion Adaptec cards involved please send me detailed information about this case. Needed information in above presented postings.

Now I don’t have any open cases with FreeBSD OS among reported to me.

[Velopas]

Hi All,

We have now official release of that driver 2.2.8-16891. You can ref it.

That has helped all I sent it to.

One case with some negative feedback, just have it in mind:

===direct translation===

Driver helped, but there was a problem, we were forced to migrate from FreeBSD 7.0 to FreeBSD 7.1, as shutdown stopped working normally. System hangs during any attempts to unmount volumes by the sync command.



Disks renamed from aacd to aacdu. Spent 30 min total on working system to fix it.

========================

[sjaak007]

Hi All,

We have now official release of that driver 2.2.8-16891. You can ref it.

Hi, I can confirm the same problems with adaptec 2405 in FreeBSD 6.x and 7.x

They work for some time and sudenly bum:

Only a hard reset will fix that for some more weeks.

This is reproducible in 3 or 4 machines, runing diferents hardwares, Tyan, Intel, Supermicro servers.

Hi All,

Above are presented exact instructions how to act if you need direct help from Adaptec. Please, use presales address (above) and send logs (instructions above).

Or send direct request to Tech Support using link

ask a question

All who approached us we were able to help.

[yurigor]

Hi all,

I'm still having this issue with the controller, latest firmware (5.2-0
(17517)) and drivers (2.2-8 (17517)) don't fix the problem, but Adaptec
suggested me to turn off write cache (switch it into write throught) on
the controller (smth like arcconf SETCACHE 1 LOGICALDRIVE 0 wt) - so I
did that and now I'm able to highly load the server with no problems.
Current uptime after this change is 15 days.
I didn't measure the performance penalty though.

[Velopas]

Hi All,

I have to stress that cache disabling could help only in some cases. As well as testing driver was able to help not for all cases.

I would like also to inform you that this problem (that seems to be quite complex) was duplicated in our lab. And Adaptec is working hard to understand its nature, hardware dependence (if any) and fix it. We are communicating with other manufactures of server components that also could be involved into that problem.

We already have some preliminary results that allows this problem to be fixed (they are testing for being presented for usage).

I have a list of companies approached us with it and as soon as I have any FW, driver etc. updates that could fix it I will send it directly and put information here.

Please, don’t worry about it, this problem is under control.

[Velopas]

As was promised

I can confirm that the updated firmware fixes the lockups I was experiencing running buildworld on this controller with FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE.

I was able to repeatedly provoke the hang by doing the following, which does not work post firmware update.

Hardware:
SuperMicro H8DMU+
2x Operton 2382
(8x 4GB) = 32 GB RAM
Adaptec 5405 V5.2-0 Build 17544
4x Fujitsu 72GB 15K SAS

Reproduction case:
- Create RAID10 array out of 4 disks
- Format and mount as normal
- Copy src tree to array
- point MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX onto array
- while : ; do; time sh -c 'make -j8 buildworld && make -j8 buildkernel'; done
- Should hang in 30 minutes or less

If you get a hang with this, then the updated firmware posted above should fix your problems.

[ixdwhite]

Are you using ARCCONF regularly to poll RAID status? I've had problems with that causing stuck transactions. The diagnosis for this is to run an ARCCONF command while the timeouts are occuring -- if they stop, then its a stuck admin command. A newer ARCCONF might address the root cause if this is the case.

Stuck commands can also be indicative of SAS stability issues, either due to a bad drive rapidly attaching/detaching from the fabric or a bad cable causing disconnects. Traffic halts while the SAS DISCOVERY runs and if this is happening fast enough it could stall commands enough to trigger the warning.

The best thing to do in this case is use the ARCCONF SAVESUPPORTARCHIVE command (I think that is the name) to dump the controller's event logs and console and see if there are a bunch of SAS DISCOVERY events when nothing is otherwise changing on the fabric (i.e., you're not removing drives).

Adaptec Support might be able to help you diagnose the issue interpret the logs as well.

Thanks for asking...

Drives are: Seagate ST32000444SS 2TB SAS.
Cache disabled.

I installed the newest BSD drivers 18284, and things seem just fine. I've been hammering away and not a single error yet. Should we leave write cache disabled? Should we re-enable it if driver is found to be stable? I'm really delighted with adaptecs level of BSD support!

Cache on _hard-drive_ - off
And when you create a raid do not on on the disk cache.
P.S. seagate disk-s (very smart disks :-) ) and at the time of writing does not always correspond to the controller that they recorded a block on the disk - the disk controller finds an error and throws him out of raid. This was my assumption when I off on the disk cache

valenpo, Hi. Please look my story at http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=32208

5805 on FreeBSD 9. How? Where did you get the working driver?
