Hi there. I'm running debian etch 64bit on my server which is using an ICP (that's adaptec) raid controller (ICP vortex 9014RO). i didn't know that adaptec does not support debian (just suse and redhat). i want to run a command line tool to check the raid status. along with the raid controller came the arcconf-utility from adaptec as .rpm-file which is not suitable for debian. i tried to install it with alien but all i got was an error-message "current build architecture amd64 does not appear in package's list (i386)" although it was the 64bit-package. does anyone have experience with installing arcconf on debian or another alternative solution to my problem? (btw. cat /proc/scsi/scsi does not provide the status information i need.) thank you for any little help, Martin.
Installing Adaptec Storage Manager on Debian I used this guide for Ubuntu(fyi - Ubuntu is based on debian core) which worked for me: http://linux.adaptec.com/2007/11/15/how-do-i-get-adaptec-storage-manager-to-work-with-ubuntu-710/ I needed to run: apt-get install libstdc++5 before it would run properly.
