Hello

Maybe someone from this group has experience with connecting SE A1000 to a
Linux box based on Intel platform.

Browsing the net I’ve found HBA SCSI:

- Qlogic QLA1041 lub Qlogic QLA 240D
- Adaptec AHA-2944UW
Do you think that they will solve my problem?

As long it's differential SCSI you will see a (predefined) LUN.

Don't know wheter RM6 will work on LINUX for configur-ing it

Good luck with it.. ( symbios has also Dual Diff PCI SCSI cards which are
oem-ed to SUN)
that work also at x86...

Well the AHA-2944UW is a high-voltage differential controller so
atleast that is the correct type.

How would you configure the A1000 ?

To operate the A1000 Diskarray you need to RUN the "RM6" array
manager software to configure RAID-sets and LUN's on the A1000.
I dont think that software is ported to LINUX.

So unless you have a Sparc/Solaris box to run RM6 on to configure
the A1000 before you try to attach it to the linux box, I would
not attempt to do it.

It would be interesting to reverse engineer the protocol. They are just
SCSI commands, you could do various things in the GUI and see what comes
over the wire.
