Dell Power Edge Expandable Raid Controller 2 [BIOS VERSION]
copyright ADAPTEC
CONTAINER #0
...
This is the controller all disks were connected to it is a Adaptec AAC-364 based RAID-Controller with a aic3860Q chip on it. ( screwing it up was fun ) Called 4-channel PERC-2.
Dell-Support says that NO LINUX DRIVER for this one exists, and they dont know if it will ever.
The solution is then, to rip it off and connect the harddisks to one of the other SCSI-Adapters and build the RAID with raidtools and calculator, although setting up RAID in PERC-2 BIOS was fun, and worked well for Netware.
The PERC-2 single channel (older) is supported.
Thank you for your help !
Manfred Knoke
