Hi, I just install FreeBSD 10 on old dell server PE 750 with Dell CERC raid card and I have this problem below with the arcconf soft (Segmentation fault (core dumped)). If you need more information aks them :o) Information about FreeBSD: uname -a :FreeBSD srv1789.xxxx.xx 10.1-RELEASE-p10 FreeBSD 10.1-RELEASE-p10 #0: Thu Jun 4 07:48:38 CEST 2015 root@srv1789.xxxx.xxt:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/CustomKernel i386 Information about ARCCONF: | UCLI | Adaptec by PMC uniform command line interface | UCLI | Version 1.7 (B21229) | UCLI | (C) Adaptec by PMCS 2003-2014 | UCLI | All Rights Reserved Dell CERC SATA RAID Hardware information: dev.aac.%parent: dev.aac.0.%desc: Dell CERC SATA RAID 2 dev.aac.0.%driver: aac dev.aac.0.%location: slot=1 function=0 dev.aac.0.%pnpinfo: vendor=0x9005 device=0x0285 subvendor=0x1028 subdevice=0x0291 class=0x010400 dev.aac.0.%parent: pci2 dev.aac.0.firmware_build: 7419 If I don't indicate ID controller i have this output: root@srv1789:/usr/local/sbin # arcconf GETCONFIG AL Controllers found: 1 Invalid arguments.

I submitted several cases to my FAE at PMC/Adaptec but they don't care. I never got any relevant feedback. Perhaps we should mark this port as broken/ do not use?
Hi, thank you to your answer, but i just find a tweak to works it :o) I use a very old version of the precompiled arcconf soft which is works on a very old FreeBSD (6.1) This version of arcconf works great ./arcconf | UCLI | Adaptec by PMC uniform command line interface | UCLI | Version 7.0 (B18781) | UCLI | (C) Adaptec by PMC 2003-2011 | UCLI | All Rights Reserved I use the precompiled version to freebsd8 include into the archive. You can find the link below: http://download.adaptec.com/raid/storage_manager/asm_freebsd_x86_v7_00_18781.tgz
I check few other version. The last arcconf version which works great on my Dell CERC RAID Adapter is the ARCCONF Command Line Utility v1.4.20859 It can be download at this location: http://www.adaptec.com/fr-fr/speed/raid/storage_manager/arcconf_v1_4_20859_zip.php All other newer version crash with segmentation fault. If it can help you.
I just saw a newer Version- could you please test 1.8.21375? http://download.adaptec.com/raid/storage_manager/arcconf_v1_8_21375.zip
Hi, I just test this latest version it's the worst of all. I don't have any error but when i try to execute the command below, my RAID card crash completely and i need a hard reboot to relaunch the server. I try it on 2 different server with the same RAID card and I have the same problem. trying to display all information with this command: arcconf GETCONFIG 1 AL I have any output and after 15-20 sec dell CERC card crash and server don't respond at anything, i must proceed a hard reboot. Do you know if adaptec publish a detailed changelog between each version (I can't find any changelog) because the problem is after the v1.4.20859 no other one works.
Adaptec asked me if you were using the current driver (seems inbox driver is known to be buggy): http://www.adaptec.com/en-us/speed/raid/aac/unix/aacraid_freebsd_b41018_tgz.php
Hi, Thank you to continue to work on the bug :o) I use the last firmware available on the support dell website.

Hi, I try o use the adaptec driver ( http://www.adaptec.com/en-us/speed/raid/aac/unix/aacraid_freebsd_b41018_tgz.php ) but I have a problem. I can't find any solution to load the driver to the raid controller. I modify the loader.conf with this line: aacraidu_load="YES" I copy aacraidu.ko to /boot/kernel When i do kldstat command, I have this output: Id Refs Address Size Name 1 6 0xc0400000 bfd124 kernel 2 1 0xc0ffe000 ff08 aacraidu.ko but when I run arcconf utility to add config info about the adapter I have always the old driver : ./arcconf GETCONFIG 1 AD Controllers found: 1 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Controller information ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Controller Status : Optimal Channel description : SATA Controller Model : CERC SATA1.5/6ch Controller Serial Number : C74813 Installed memory : 64 MB Copyback : Disabled Background consistency check : Disabled Automatic Failover : Enabled Stayawake period : Disabled Spinup limit internal drives : 0 Spinup limit external drives : 0 Defunct disk drive count : 0 Logical devices/Failed/Degraded : 1/0/0 -------------------------------------------------------- Controller Version Information -------------------------------------------------------- BIOS : 4.1-0 (7419) Firmware : 4.1-0 (7419) Driver : 2.1-9 (1) Boot Flash : 0.0-0 (0) -------------------------------------------------------- Controller Battery Information -------------------------------------------------------- Status : Not Installed Could you explain me how can I use the new driver and not the old ? When I read the boot log, system always use the old driver: aac0: CERC SATA1.5/6ch, aac driver 2.1.9-1 I can't do how to use the aacraidu.ko instead of aac.ko Thank you very much to your help.
could you build a new kernel without aacraid included?
Hi, I try to compile a new kernel without any aac driver. But Server can't boot and i don't find any solution to load the adaptec driver when it boot :(
http://download.adaptec.com/pdfs/user_guides/adaptec_raid_controller_iug_6_2015.pdf -> page 57, but it is quite outdated
Hi, sorry to the delay, but I try much much solution, but any solution doesn't work to load the adaptec driver. In last resort I try to rename their driver to the base driver (aka aac.ko) but when server boot just after the driver is loaded when the FreeBSD mount the partition, I have a kernel panic or server reboot.
Can you try to download http://download.adaptec.com/raid/storage_manager/arcconf_v1_8_21375.zip and test with that ?
Hi, I already test this version ( check my comment N° 5 https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=201718#c5 ) This version is the Worth, adaptec controller crash since i try to GETCONFIG on it :( I try again this version today but same problem, when I try to invoke arcconf with this command (arcconf GETCONFIG 1 ALL) adaptec controller crash, i loose all control on it and I must do an electric reboot on the server to control it again.
(In reply to Eric from comment #14) Which binary did you from the distfile ? The distfile provides 9 i386/amd64 files and 10 amd64 only. Your system uses i386, so which executable did you use ?
Hi, I try all x86 binary (folder FreeBSD7, freebsd8 and freebsd9) with compiled kernel to support compat 4,5,6,7 and with this ports misc/compat9x Kernel conf: options COMPAT_FREEBSD4 # Compatible with FreeBSD4 options COMPAT_FREEBSD5 # Compatible with FreeBSD5 options COMPAT_FREEBSD6 # Compatible with FreeBSD6 options COMPAT_FREEBSD7 # Compatible with FreeBSD7
Is it possible to install 10amd64 on that box and to try to 10amd64 arcconf with a generic kernel ?
Hi, Unfortunately, Dell PE 750 supports only 32Bits processor :o( You can find here hardware specs http://www.dell.com/downloads/global/products/pedge/en/750_specs.pdf So i can't test 64 bits binary.
Hi.

On old version arcconf-7.30.18837 - all good.
Same stuff on 10.3-STABLE #0 r303958 and IBM Serveraid-8k. Took an old arcconf from microsemi site, works like a charm. Could you please just rollback the port ? Although I should admit that on an installation from scratch arcconf from ports works too (it doesn't see the raid though, but this is another problem).

A commit references this bug: Author: pi Date: Sat Mar 16 15:40:37 UTC 2019 New revision: 495888 URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/ports/495888 Log: sysutils/arcconf: update 1_8_21375 -> 3_00_23488 PR: 201718 Submitted by: michael@fuckner.net (maintainer) Changes: head/sysutils/arcconf/Makefile head/sysutils/arcconf/distinfo head/sysutils/arcconf/pkg-descr
Please test with the new version of arcconf, if the segfault still happens. (I tested on 11.2, works for me)
Thank you to this new version, it works fine now for me.
Thanks all!
