We have what looks like a hdd failing on a raid10 array on the smart array controller. On post there is a smart failure reported but in the bios it reports drive as ok.
I have now learned the cli utility seems to have ceased freebsd development for an unknown reason in 2008 and as such doesnt run on freebsd 7 64bit.
HP's flashing utility is just about every OS except freebsd. it supports windows, linux and solaris.
So my questions are.
Is there a way to view the physical drive smart stats inside freebsd?
Is there a way to make 'hpacucli' run on newer freebsd especially 64bit. or is there a tool to replace it?
Should partial support be listed on the freebsd supported hardware page? as I assumed every device there is fully supported.
Is there a way to flash the firmware inside freebsd? HP's boot dvd is a long winded procedure, for whatever reason they dont supply bot media with the firmware o, instead you have to copy the firmware on to their boot image manually. Easier said then done when need to do this remotely.
Finally what hardware raid controller exists that isnt a silly price, supports raid10 and is fully supported in freebsd with cli utilities etc?
