Summary0000948: Request for 3Ware 9690SA RAID Controller (3w-9xxx) series
DescriptionHi and thanks for all your hard work on elrepo.

Upgraded from 6.x to 8.0, and see that the 3Ware 9690SA drivers have been removed as per https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/8/html/considerations_in_adopting_rhel_8/hardware-enablement_considerations-in-adopting-rhel-8


Would it be possible to add a RHEL8 kmod for the 3w-9690SA controllers (3w-9xxx series) ?


lspci output:

01:00.0 RAID bus controller [0104]: 3ware Inc 9690SA SAS/SATA-II RAID PCIe


Thanks for your consideration.

Would you please show the Vendor:Device ID pairing for the device. Output that is produced by executing the following --

lspci -nn | grep RAID

Do you also need a driver update disk?

Hi and not for me thanks, I don't boot from the 3ware controllers.

kmod-3w-9xxx-2.26.02.014-1.el8_0.elrepo.x86_64.rpm has been released and is currently syncing to our mirror sites.

I created dd-3w-9xxx-2.26.02.014-1.el8_0.elrepo.iso as well. Someone else may have a need for that.

Thanks and looks great.

All raid groups have materialized, PV's, VGs and LVs are all there and basic I/O works (as expected). tw_cli from 3Ware is also looking good:

/c6 Driver Version = 2.26.02.014
/c6 Model = 9690SA-8E
/c6 Available Memory = 448MB
/c6 Firmware Version = FH9X 4.10.00.027
/c6 Bios Version = BE9X 4.08.00.004
/c6 Boot Loader Version = BL9X 3.08.00.001
/c6 PCB Version = Rev 042
/c6 PCHIP Version = 2.00
/c6 ACHIP Version = 1.31A6
/c6 Controller Phys = 8
