Bug 25949

Summary: camcontrol doesn't find new drives or RAID on asr
Product: Base System Reporter: Jamie Gritton <gritton>

Description Jamie Gritton 2001-03-20 20:00:01 UTC 
	When a new drive is added on an Adaptec SCSI RAID bus, a "camcontrol
	rescan" won't detenct the new drive.  The card can tell it's there,
	but the OS doesn't see it.  Only a reboot will correct the OS view.

	The same also applies when building a new RAID partition using the
	Adaptec-supplied RAID configuration program.  A RAID partition looks
	to the OS like a different drive type than the drives it replaced.
	Rescanning the asr SCSI bus won't find the new "ADAPTEC RAID-1"
	pseudo-drive, but will manage to see the loss of the old drive, thus
	making the disk "go away" to the system, again until reboot.

Fix: 

camcontrol is not the correct tool for managing the asr cards.
	Download 'raidutil' or 'storage manager' from the adaptec web site
	for the correct tool.
How-To-Repeat: 	Add a drive to a SCSI bus controlled by the asr driver, and run
	"camcontrol rescan" and "camcontrol devlist".  You won't see the
	new drive.  If you have the Adaptec RAID configuration program,
	you will be able to see the drive with "raidutil -L all".
