P410i /dev/sg0 report error when enabling HBA mode #7

Closed terryjx closed 4 years ago

terryjx commented 4 years ago

Hi,

I tried to use this tool on Smart Array P410i, to enable its HBA mode, and here is my environment: HP DL380 Gen7 server, Ubuntu 18.04 LTS HWE, installed on a SATA SSD connected to system via the SATA port for the optical drive, which should be bypassing the P410i card. Kernel 5.3.0-53-generic

Before running "hpsahba -E", I have three relevant devices which are /dev/sg0, /dev/sg1 and /dev/sg2.

I was able to run "hpsahba -E /dev/sg1" without any error, but when I run "hpsahba -E /dev/sg0", the system gave the following error: FATAL ERROR: /dev/sg0: ioctl(CCISS_PASSTHRU) failed with command BMIC_IDENTIFY_CONTROLLER, rc == -1: 25 Inappropriate ioctl for device After running this, no changes are observed on the output of lsblk and the number of sgX device under /dev/

After running "hpsahba -E /dev/sg1, I noticed that two hard disks that connected to the P410i has gone from the output of lsblk command. And the sg2 device has gone under /dev/ folder.

I enabled hpsa.hpsa_use_nvram_hba_flag=1 in grub, and hpsa module is showing up in lsmod output.

What I did not do is patching the kernel patches that you provided. If the issue is with the kernel patch, could you advise how should the patching by done in my case?

Best Regards, Terry YIN

You need to patch the kernel for it to work. I have created a branch with DKMS support that allows for simpler patching of hpsa driver https://github.com/artizirk/hpsahba/tree/dkms/kernel/dkms It should work with 5.4 kernel in Ubuntu 20.04, don't know about other versions.

Hi Artizirk,

Thanks a lot for the help, and I just tested it and it works after some tweaking for my system.

As spoken, my system is Ubuntu 18.04 LTS HWE, so I first upgrade kernel to version 5.4.0-050400.

And because the location of the kernel source file for Ubuntu is /lib/modules/ rather than /usr/lib/modules/, so I adapt your KDIR variable in your Makefile accordingly.

One issue that I noticed is that it does not stay effective across reboot. Everytime I reboot the system, I have to "modprobe hpsa" again, otherwise there will be no RAID card connected drives showing up in lsblk. I'm pretty sure that the updated HPSA modules are automatically loaded after rebooting, but I still need to modprobe it again. Have you seen anything similar on your side?

Regards, Terry

Old driver is probably loaded in initramfs and needs a rebuild, you may also need to add the module option to /etc/modprobe.d folder.

I actually did update initramfs using update-initramfs after loading dkms modules. I also checked dmesg output but did not find any outstanding error.

I kind of checked & tried a few different methods, however, without knowing what happened, in one of my attempts, it suddenly works. I mean the bare drives could be exposed to OS now even across reboot. I'm still trying to figure out what happened here and will shall it out when it's confirmed.

terryjx: can you please elaborate the steps how you patched the kernel , I do see the output of hpsahba where HBA MOD=ENABLE , but my disks are not getting attached I tried to follow the instructions from here and there but no success. thanks

one thing I noticed after this command

uname -r

5.8.0-41-generic is active not 5.4

is this normal or any thing we will have to do ?

thanks

terryjx: can you please elaborate the steps how you patched the kernel , I do see the output of hpsahba where HBA MOD=ENABLE , but my disks are not getting attached I tried to follow the instructions from here and there but no success. thanks

Hi Alleexon,

Please try take a look at my blog post guide below:

https://medium.com/@terryjx/enable-it-mode-on-hp-smart-array-p410i-raid-card-on-hp-dl380-gen7-servers-4e827eeb78ca

Some people replied that they got it working by following the guide.

Still waiting an answer from experts. My ubuntu version is 20.xx desktop I rolled back the kernel to 5.4xxx from 5.8 and patched again with kernel headers and repeated all the steps but no luck in HPSAHBA -i I get the Hba Enabled and working, but no disks attached showing in lsblk, any clue or help what wrong I am doing ? thanks

Hi Aleexon,

I'm quite tied up and slow recently and it will last for quite long time and sorry for the late response.

Honestly I have not fully check your posted log yet since it's a little bit long, but I found a few issues at a quick glance, such as you seemed have not installed the kernel source on your system yet, and the source code is essential for the subsequent steps.

Just to help you reproduce the work asap, my suggestion is:

Since some people have already managed to reproduce a good result based on the guide, I believe the guide should be somehow useful.

Sorry but this is the maximum that I can help out here since I'm really running low on bandwidth because of a recent surgery and many other incoming tasks from my job, as you can see, I've not been writing any new post for my tech blog for months already.

Best Regards, Terry YIN
