    77= 1. Vendor information =
     8
     9Theses HP/Compaq cards are usually well supported on Linux.[[BR]]
     10HP supports Linux and provide an '''opensource kernel driver''' which has been part of Linux for ages.
     11
     12[[BR]]
     13= 2. Linux kernel drivers =
     14
     15There is only one drivers to handle all cards:
     16|| Driver || Supported cards ||
     17|| cciss || All !SmartArray ||
     18
     19You should not expect any problems with theses drivers which are known to be '''mature''' and '''stable'''.[[BR]]
     20We don't know any current Linux distrubtion which miss theses drivers so no additional step should be required to get it working.
     21
     22However this driver doesn't you the regular SCSI stack, so don't expect to find your logical drives as /dev/sdX.[[BR]]
     23Here is an example:
     24{{{
     25vmware:~# ls -lah /dev/cciss/
     26total 0
     27drwxr-xr-x  2 root root     160 2008-08-28 14:36 .
     28drwxr-xr-x 14 root root    3,1K 2008-08-28 14:36 ..

     30brw-rw----  1 root disk 104,  1 2008-08-28 14:36 c0d0p1
     31brw-rw----  1 root disk 104,  2 2008-08-28 14:36 c0d0p2
     32brw-rw----  1 root disk 104,  3 2008-08-28 14:36 c0d0p3
     33brw-rw----  1 root disk 104, 16 2008-08-28 14:36 c0d1
     34brw-rw----  1 root disk 104, 17 2008-08-28 14:36 c0d1p1
     35}}}
     36
     37''/dev/c0d0'' means logical drive 0 on controller 0. ''/dev/c0d0p1'' means first partition of logical drive 0 on controller 0.[[BR]]
     38In exemple ''/dev/sda'' is ''/dev/c0d0'' here. ''/dev/sdb1'' is ''/dev/c0d1p1''.
