Hello,
Am sending this email here as I think it is possibly the most
appropriate place. If not, please disregard/ignore and my apologizes.
Recently I have bought a new Dell PowerEdge VRTX Enclosure
(http://www.dell.com/us/business/p/poweredge-vrtx/pd) that houses Dell
PowerEdge M520 Blade server
(http://www.dell.com/us/business/p/poweredge-m520/pd).
This solution (http://bladesmadesimple.com/2013/06/a-detailed-look-at-dell-poweredge-vrtx/),
released specifically for the SMB market currently only works with
Windows Server 2008+ and VMware ESXi.
This due to a controller called the Shared PERC8 RAID Controller
(http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/19/driverdetails?driverid=7HPN0)
which apparently is not supported in Linux.
I have been trying to get feedback from Dell for nearly 1 year now but
to no avail. Dell say's it is not supported and that it is the
community that needs to provide the drivers first. When I asked if
they where providing support to the community I never received a
response.
What I don't understand is how VMware ESXi which I believe uses the
Linux Kernel is already supported and it can work with said
controller. Possibly because it does not use MegaRAID drivers? Not
sure.
This email is either to discuss this matter further or aimed at
requesting support for the Dell Shared PERC8 RAID Controller in order
to allow such platforms as the VRTX and enable SMB all the advantages
of using this hardware coupled with Linux thus allowing for a very
budget friendly infrastructure.

This one is supported by the megaraid_sas driver, provided it's recent
enough.

This one seems unsupported. I don't know what it's actually for,
though. Is it the one posing you a problem? I suppose ESXi lets you
check (with modinfo) if megaraid_sas manages it.

I can't tell you exactly which one is causing me problems but I can
assume it is the unsupported one.
Basically the M520 Blades also have internal storage. I can see and
mount that storage.

I can't however see the Shared storage provided by the VRTX Enclosure.
I would assume one controller is for the internal storage of the M520
Blade and the other controller for the Shared storage.

Yes, that's probably the case. As I said, I'd first try installing ESXi
on a blade to check what driver it uses for this particular card (ESXi
is a special Linux distro after all).

So I do have ESXi on one of the blade servers. Curiously "lspci -nn"
output is very different. I for example don't see two RAID controllers
but one:
...

Strange, do you access the shared storage in this case? Because it
doesn't look at all like the same hardware (different PCI ids, to begin
with).

You are absolutely correct. I was on the wrong machine entirely. Sorry
(this is what lack of sleep causes). So here is what I could get from
the ESXi machine:

OK so this looks like the normal megaraid_sas under the usual license,
though it obviously works with the weird device:
00:08:00.0 RAID bus controller Mass storage controller: LSI Logic /
Symbios Logic Shared PERC 8 Mini [vmhba2]
Class 0104: 1000:002f
Could you grab the file /usr/lib/vmware/vmkmod/megaraid_sas.ko and run
modinfo on it (even from a different distro, should work fine I
suppose).

Sorry. I just realized this is not what you wanted. That was for my
own megaraid module on my own machine. There aparently is no
megaraid_sas.ko file in the ESXi machine only a "megaraid_sas" which I
can't seem to use modinfo on.

Btw one other thing, but how can we be sure its the megaraid_sas
module being used to provide support for the

One thing I noticed is the other controller:

Specifically stated "MegaRAID" whilst the Shared PERC 8 does not. In
the module listing I can't clearly identify any module that would be
responsible for providing support to the shared PERC 8 controller so I
am not sure if sending you this

Was in fact correct or not.

Well I went through the module list and couldn't find anything else
that could reasonably fit with an LSI driver, so I'm pretty sure it
must be the megaraid driver... If only it could be a normal Linux
system, alas.

SAS 2208 IOV [Thunderbolt] [1000:002f] (rev 05)
I will be sending a driver patch for megaraid_sas to support the Dell
PowerEdge VRTX/Shared PERC8 device later this week. This will allow
you to run Linux with the megaraid_sas in Virtual Function (VF) mode
on the VRTX blades.

That is great news Adam! Many thanks for that. Might I just ask, was
this something you where already working on or something more recent?
Also, if its not too much trouble I would like to understand how
support is typically added/considered, does LSI have to provide you
with info, is the community responsible for knowing what new hardware
is out and when possible support it, does Dell/LSI (anyone) provide
any support in this respect? (just trying to understand if me coming
to this mailing list was at all necessary or useful)
In any case, this is definitely great and very welcomed news. Looking
forward to hearing from you some more.
