HP server and atto driver from hell
Ralf Hildebrandt
Until now, because now we have to use a PCI Express SCSI card that
comes with a proprietary driver that won't even compile.
When I untar the lnx_drv_epciu320_107.tar.gz and try to compile the
glue between the binary blob and the kernel, I get:
c# make -k modules
Architecture is i386 (x86_regparm)

I would suggest you take it up with the supplier, given EU law on product
being fit for the purpose for which it was sold I would hope they jump.
Seriously it isn't going to be worth anyones time fighting binary crap
when there are open alternatives available. Tell HP to replace it with a
working card - also if you mail ordered it remember your EU wide 14 day
return option ;)
And please don't post pieces of proprietary driver code to the kernel
list - I doubt you have permission to do so from HP.

it may just work with the fusion drivers .

The device is 802F, not 8027, but I'll try.

According to http://lwn.net/Articles/254394, Eric Moore added the ATTO
4LD support:
mpt fusion: Add support for ATTO 4LD: Rebranded LSI
And the HP U320e SCSI Bus Adapter seesm to be a rebranded ATTO 4LD.
But I cannot be sure.
Moore, Eric
Yeah, ATTO support was added about a year ago, thanks to Sven Rudolph.
However I doubt HP card is *not* a rebranded ATTO card. They both have
the same scsi controller, but the bios and firmware on the HP card are
directly from LSI, however I'm pretty sure that ATTO did everything them
selves.

You mean it probably won't work at all with the drive mpt spi driver?

I don't know anything about this card, but I can try to track
down some help from other groups inside HP.
What HP server do you have? What HP part number is the card?
Thanks.

The thing works with the mptspi driver just like a charm.
I wonder why anybody would need the other driver...

Yes, it just works :)

HP did two completely different PCI-Express Low-Profile SCSI HBAs:
The single-channel (HP SC11 Xe) one looks very similiar to the
LSI20320IE, but the HP version appeared months before the LSI version.
The dual-channel version (AH627A; see
<http://www.hardware.com/product.asp?id=AH627A>, other Web sites show
a wrong photo with a PCI-X connector) seems to be an Atto UL5D
Low-profile.
Ralf's card looks a lot like my Atto UL5D Lowprofile. For the first
SCSI channel:
# lspci -v -s 0d:04.0
0d:04.0 SCSI storage controller: Atto Technology Ultra320 SCSI Host Adapter (rev 08)
Subsystem: Atto Technology Unknown device 802f
Flags: bus master, 66MHz, medium devsel, latency 128, IRQ 17
I/O ports at 6000 [size=256]
Memory at fbc40000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=256K]
Memory at fbc00000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=256K]
[virtual] Expansion ROM at c2800000 [disabled] [size=1M]
Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 2
Capabilities: [58] Message Signalled Interrupts: Mask- 64bit+ Queue=0/0 Enable-
Capabilities: [68] PCI-X non-bridge device
I just tested mine with Linux 2.6.24.4, and it finds the attached DLT
drives and they work. I missed Ralf's original problem but the output
above suggests that it didn't find any devices?
