Hi there,

Commit "hpsa: Change SAS transport devices to bus 0."
(09371d623c9c3dc6ed7f53ec8ab01d25f0c6c697) breaks the hpacucli utility
for some HP Smart Array controllers with old firmware.

Specifically, I have a P410 connected to an HP DL180 G6 running firmware
version 1.66. Yes, the firmware is old, but it works. On the 4.4 series
kernels and earlier, hpacucli works with no trouble. On 4.5 and later,
the hpsa driver reports errors in the kernel log, and hpacucli reports
"Error: No controllers detected."

addition failed -19, device not added.

Reverting the above commit resolves both the hpsa errors and the
hpacucli error when tested with kernel 4.7.9.

In addition to this troublesome server, I have a handful of servers with
P410 controllers and firmware versions ranging from 3.52 to 6.60. All of
them work with the 09371d62 commit in place, which leads me to believe
it is just this old 1.66 firmware that is incompatible.

While a firmware upgrade seems like the simple solution, I think this
should be considered a bug/regression due to it breaking functionality
that previously worked. It appears others may have run into this issue
too:
http://superuser.com/questions/1093124/coreos-hp410-raid1-device-not-added-19

Some dmesg output (grep -e hpsa -e sg) is below from both a 4.4.2 kernel
(working) and 4.5.7 kernel (broken). Note the change in SCSI address
from 0:3:0:0 to 0:0:0:0.

Please let me know if you need me to do any testing to help resolve
this.

I discussed this with the ssacli developers and they do not look
at the bus, but I see "device not added" messages that
should not be there. I'll attack your issue from that
perspective.

Thanks,
Don Brace

The root cause is that this older firmware is not scsi revision 5 and thus we add the
controller at the end of the list, not at the beginning.

if (is_scsi_rev_5(h))
raid_ctlr_position = 0;
else
raid_ctlr_position = nphysicals + nlogicals;

So the first logical volume gets BTL 0:0:0 and then we attempt to add in the controller
using the same BTL values at the end of the list. Thus you get the "device not added" messages.

The change to bus 0 was because the SAS transport is using bus 0 and there was a
discrepancy in what the driver was putting the controller on and what the SAS
transport was actually using.

I'll work on a patch to resolve this for you.


Thanks,
Don Brace
