OVIRT INSTALLATION IN SAS RAID

I have a Dell PowerEdge 710 server with SAS RAID 1 PERC 6/i, I am trying to install ovirt 4.4 but I could not find the destination disk. in the destination disk page, it is only showing my USB bootable device only. probably this might be SAS RAID diver error, if so how can i load driver during the installation.

Red Hat removed support for older controllers.Find the DUD that will install the module for the controller.

the dud package is showing some kilobytes and is unable to write directly to from iso. does the flash disk need to be in a bootable format?

how can I identify the correct DUD package? My server is Dell PowerEdge 710 server with SAS RAID 1 PERC 6/i

For both RAID controllers and Network adapters (it happened to me for an old HP blade) you can check here, comparing the lists and your pci ids, eg booting with a live distro or a CentOS 7 one https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/8/htm... HIH, Gianluca

For example elrepo has a lot : https://elrepo.org/linux/dud/el8/x86_64/ Check with centos 7 dvd ( you can use the boot dvd or install dvd in troubleshooting mode) which module is using.

I guess your controller is not in https://access.redhat.com/solutions/3751841 (can access with red hat dev account) Best Regards,Strahil Nikolov On Sat, Mar 5, 2022 at 12:55, Strahil Nikolov<hunter86_bg@yahoo.com> wrote: For example elrepo has a lot : https://elrepo.org/linux/dud/el8/x86_64/ Check with centos 7 dvd ( you can use the boot dvd or install dvd in troubleshooting mode) which module is using.

here are the details of the RAID controller: Product Name: PERC 6/i Package: 6.2.0-0013 FW Version:1.22.02-0612 BIOS Version: 1.04.00 Ctrl Version: 1.02-015B Boot Block: 1.00.00.01-0011 which ISO should I select from the repo?

You should provide the pci id of the device... Anyway main download link is here: https://elrepo.org/linux/dud/el8/x86_64/ and probably it is the latest dd_meagraid_sas.iso file like this: https://elrepo.org/linux/dud/el8/x86_64/dd-megaraid_sas-07.717.02.00-1.el8_5... I have not an hw like yours, but for example on a PowerEdge R730 with RH EL 8.5: # lspci | grep RAID 03:00.0 RAID bus controller: Broadcom / LSI MegaRAID SAS-3 3108 [Invader] (rev 02) and then query the kernel module used for that ID (03:00.0 in my case): # lspci -k -s 03:00.0 03:00.0 RAID bus controller: Broadcom / LSI MegaRAID SAS-3 3108 [Invader] (rev 02) DeviceName: Integrated RAID Subsystem: Dell PERC H730P Mini Kernel driver in use: megaraid_sas Kernel modules: megaraid_sas See also what discussed here to apply a DUD in the correct way during installation of an oVirt node: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1834298 Gianluca

I am unable to run lspci command since i am not able to boot the server with live cd or install Linux. anyhow I get some more information about the SAS Driver after installing windows server 2012, here is the information Device Descprition: DELL PERC 6/i Integrated Devive Instance path: PCI\VEN_1000&DEV_0060&SUBSYS_1F0C1028&REV_04\4&254D1C7F&0&0020 hardware ids : PCI\VEN_1000&DEV_0060&SUBSYS_1F0C1028&REV_04 PCI\VEN_1000&DEV_0060&SUBSYS_1F0C1028 PCI\VEN_1000&DEV_0060&CC_010400 PCI\VEN_1000&DEV_0060&CC_0104 Compatible IDS: PCI\VEN_1000&DEV_0060&REV_04 PCI\VEN_1000&DEV_0060 PCI\VEN_1000&CC_010400 PCI\VEN_1000&CC_0104 PCI\VEN_1000 PCI\CC_010400&DT_0 PCI\CC_010400 PCI\CC_0104&DT_0 PCI\CC_0104 driver version: 6.600.21.8 Matching device ID PCI\VEN_1000&DEV_0060&SUBSYS_1F0C1028 Service: Megasas Configuration ID megasas.inf:PCI\VEN_1000&DEV_0060&SUBSYS_1F0C1028,Install_INT.NT

So, based on the link I already provided, you are here: " . . . The following adapters from the megaraid_sas driver have been removed: . . . SAS1078R, PCI ID 0x1000:0x0060 . . . " and the links from elrepo I gave are ok. Kernel module driver to use: megaraid_sas Follow also the other link with instructions on how to use the corresponding dud to install oVirt node. Gianluca

hereafter running lspci command in centos 7 [root@localhost riyaz]# lspci | grep RAID 03:00.0 RAID bus controller: Broadcom / LSI MegaRAID SAS 1078 (rev 04) [root@localhost riyaz]# lspci -k -s 03:00.0 03:00.0 RAID bus controller: Broadcom / LSI MegaRAID SAS 1078 (rev 04) Subsystem: Dell PERC 6/i Integrated RAID Controller Kernel driver in use: megaraid_sas Kernel modules: megaraid_sas what might be the correct elrepo driver for this??

I am checking the mega SAS drivers from elrepo one by one but it is getting "modprobe: ERROR: Could not insert 'megaraid-sas' : Invalid argument.

In my case the DUD files didn't work (due to kernel version mismatch) on a couple of R710 (megaraid) and Generic-Intel-Xeon (isci SATA). As such, I use the manual path: - On a machine (or VM) running the latest CentOS 8 kernel: * Download the relevant DUD source RPMs ( https://elrepo.org/linux/elrepo/el8/SRPMS/) and unpack them. (E.g. https://elrepo.org/linux/elrepo/el8/SRPMS/kmod-megaraid_sas-07.717.02.00-1.e... ) * From the module directory, manually build the missing kernel drivers by hand. (if you don't know what to do, follow the commands in the %build segment in the DUD spec file) and save the resulting .ko kernel modules (E.g. megaraid_sas.ko, isci.ko, etc). - Start the machine(s) using the CentOS8 stream installation USB. Wait for the first screen but *don't* do anything. - Switch to a console (Ctrl-Alt-F1). - Start the network and scp the newly built kernel modules into /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/extra - Load the newly copied kernel module using insmod. (E.g. insmod /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/extra/megaraid_sas.ko) - Check the kernel log (via dmesg) and make sure the storage controller has initialized correctly. - Switch back to the anaconda installer (Ctrl-Alt-F6 or F7). - Continue installation as usual. * (* I think I had to manually copy the kernel module to the newly installed machine, and dracut -f to get it included in the initramfs image, but I'm not certain). - Gilboa

I am following the manually building method. I will update the result here.

Hii The resulf after running "lspci -n | grep '03:00.0' is 03:00.0 1000:0060 pci RAID bus controller: Broadcom / LSI MegaRAID SAS 1078 (rev 04) Which says the driver is kmod-megaraid_sas I tried https://elrepo.org/linux/dud/el8/x86_64/dd-megaraid_sas-07.717.02.00...
