    Default iSCSI SOHO: "no units found" on a Dell PowerEdge 1400sc with an Adaptec IDE card

    Hi,
    This is a question I've just asked to open-e support, maybe
    someone already had this problem ?

    I'm using the iSCSI SOHO module on a Dell Poweredge 1400sc
    server, whose motherboard has *only one* IDE connector.
    => I had to add an Adaptec PCI card to extend the IDE
    connections of this computer.

    When I boot this Dell I can see my 2 Maxtor hard drives
    appearing at the prompt during the boot process, which means
    that the motherboard does recognize this card and the 2 hard
    disks I've connected to it.

    But now when I remotely connect to the URL 192.168.... to manage
    my drives and volumes, I have a msg saying "no units [are] found".

    Do you think the fact the module can't see my 2 Maxtor disks
    comes from the fact they're not directly managed by my
    motherboard ? Does it come from the fact I added these
    disks through an intermediary PCI card (as I only have a single
    IDE connector on my MB, I had no choice actually !) ?

    Thanks in advance for any help...
    Kind regards,
    Seb

    Not sure as we do not have this card on our compatibility list (IDE extender from Adaptec). Any settings on the Adaptec that you change like LBA on the BIOS of the card. Also try looking into the log files from Status > Hardware then look into the dmesg logs to see if the iSCSI SOHO see's this card. If not then this card might not work with Linux version. Check with Adaptec to see if the model that you have will work with Linux.
    All the best,
