vizi0n Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Hi everyone, I have an Adaptec 51245 controller for my drives. It works very well, but I have a problem : when I swap a disk, even though it supports hot swapping, I need to reboot in order open up the Adaptec Raid Configuration utility from boot to tag the drive as JBOD so it can be used by unRAID. Do you know if it is possible to install the Adaptec Raid Configuration utility in order to do that from command line without rebooting? http://storage.microsemi.com/en-us/support/raid/sas_raid/sas-51245/ They list downloads for Redhat, Debian, Ubuntu and others but nothing for Slackware. Thanks for any help, I don't want to start installing stuff and messing a completely working setup Quote Link to comment
vizi0n Posted December 9, 2016 Author Share Posted December 9, 2016 I have managed to install arcconf, seems like this is what I need. Now I have to fool around with it when the time comes! Quote Link to comment
TommyB1972 Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Wondering how you are experiencing your setup with the adaptec 51245. I have questions like. Does the entire arrray spin up or also one disk? What kind of RAID did you chose (JBOD?) Regards Thomas Quote Link to comment
vizi0n Posted February 4, 2019 Author Share Posted February 4, 2019 I am using the drives as JBOD. You need to tell the controller that the disks are JBOD using the controller's software at boot time, or through arcconf. It works very well still. Currently upsizing a drive as we speak I keep the drives always spinning, less stop and start means less possible failure. The chassis is well cooled so heat is no issue Quote Link to comment

vizi0n Posted October 12, 2021 Author Share Posted October 12, 2021 I have simply downloaded "Adaptec Storage Manager v7.31.18856 for 64-bit Linux" from here https://storage.microsemi.com/en-us/speed/raid/storage_manager/asm_linux_x64_v7_31_18856_tgz.php Inside you'll find arcconf, just chmod +x and you're ready to go Quote Link to comment
