bootstrap Centos can't detect drives on PERC RAID H330/H730/H730P/H830

[Andrii Bondar]

Bootstrap kernel doesn't detect this RAID controller.
I don't see any HDD in /dev directory.

This issue was fixed this way:

-KERNEL_PATTERN:=kernel-lt-3.10.*
-KERNEL_FIRMWARE_PATTERN:=linux-firmware*
+KERNEL_PATTERN:=kernel-ml-3.18.*

Mentioned fix provides support for Dell RAID PERC H330 on bootstrap OS only.

[Aleksander Mogylchenko (amogylchenko)]

What driver and/or firmware are required?

[Andrii Bondar (abondar)]

megaraid_sas kernel module is used to support this hw

[Andrii Bondar (abondar)]

We have older version of the megaraid_sas driver on bootstrap

Fix proposed to branch: 6.0.1
Change author: Albert Syriy <email address hidden>
Review: https://review.fuel-infra.org/5617

[Albert Syriy (asyriy)]

A workaround required to compile megaraid_sas driver with the kernel 3.10.55 using on bootstrap, due to some system calls are not present in the kernel. It will take time, so there is a proposal to move the fix to Fuel 7.1, when new kernel will be updated on the bootstrap.

[Michael Maring (4-michael-j)]

i was wondering what would be the best way to get this rolled out as i really need this functionality for h330?

[Mike Scherbakov (mihgen)]

If we use Ubuntu 14.04 based bootstrap with same kernel as we use for slave nodes now, would it solve an issue?

[Albert Syriy (asyriy)]

There is a workaround, custom ISO built with kernel 2.6.32 on bootstrap and the driver.
Here the link
http://jenkins-product.srt.mirantis.net:8080/view/custom_iso/job/custom_6.0_iso/75/

[Mike Scherbakov (mihgen)]

Albert, can you please contact DevOps team and place bootstrap image to some publicly available storage? It has to be just bootstrap, not the whole Fuel build.
We'd also need to update our release notes with information about this.

[Albert Syriy (asyriy)]

The MOS 7.0 is going to have new kernel and bootstrap supporting such RAIDs.
