Installing the Driver 8 If you need to add devices to a secondary controller, open a terminal window and type sdiconfig -l. This utility returns the device address for all controllers recognized by the operating system and any attached devices. (You will need this information to perform Step 9.) The device address is of the format cCCbBBtTTdDD, where I CC specifies the controller ID. I BB is the controller channel (or bus) number of the bus to which the disks are attached. The range is 0 - 7. I TT is the target ID (TID). The range is 0 - 31. I DD (the second "D") is always zero. 9 To add a drive to a secondary controller, type diskadd cCCbBBtTTdDD For example, a new drive or array is connected to a secondary Adaptec RAID controller on Channel A and the drive has a TID 0. The controller number is 1 because it is a secondary controller. Therefore, the command would be diskadd c1b0t0d0 For details on diskadd, refer to the diskadd(1M) man page. FreeBSD The Adaptec RAID controller driver is embedded in the kernel for versions 4.1.1 and later. Therefore, you do not need to do anything related to driver installation once your operating system is installed.

Installing the Driver
8
If you need to add devices to a secondary controller, open a
terminal window and type
sdiconfig -l
. This utility
returns the device address for all controllers recognized by the
operating system and any attached devices. (You will need this
information to perform
Step 9
.) The device address is of the
format
c
CC
b
BB
t
TT
d
DD
, where
■
CC
specifies the controller ID.
■
BB
is the controller channel (or bus) number of the bus to
which the disks are attached. The range is 0 - 7.
■
TT
is the target ID (TID). The range is 0 - 31.
■
DD
(the second “D”) is always zero.
9
To add a drive to a secondary controller, type
diskadd
c
CC
b
BB
t
TT
d
DD
For example, a new drive or array is connected to a secondary
Adaptec RAID controller on Channel A and the drive has a
TID 0. The controller number is 1 because it is a secondary
controller. Therefore, the command would be
diskadd
c1b0t0d0
For details on
diskadd
, refer to the diskadd(1M) man page.
