Background
Adaptec Raid 7805 hardware raid controller card is installed on a x64 PC. I'd like to run Proxmox VE 8 (flavor of Debian). I failed to run Adaptec MaxView web user interface on Proxmox 8 but the commandline program arcconf works flawlessly on Proxmox.
Total 9x 4TB harddrives are installed on a SAS expander enclosure.
8 drives are to be a member of RAID 10. Remaining 1 drive is to be used as a hot spare.
Potentially booting Proxmox from Adaptec is possible but I decided to boot Proxmox from two onboard SATA SSDs ZFS mirror.
It seems there is no step-by-step guide on this topic on Internet 😀
Setup procedure
8 drives RAID 10 array is created using legacy BIOS CTRL-A Adaptec utility before booting OS. Press ctrl-a during computer startup to show Ctrl-a Adaptec utility.
Install Proxmox VE.
Start Proxmox.
Download Adaptec ARCCONF Command Line Utility on Adaptec Raid 7805 storage manager downloads. There are many methods to do this, I downloaded it using Windows PC and send the file to Proxmox PC using Tera term ssh connection, [File][SSH SCP]
Finding channel number and device number of the spare drive
Single Adaptec raid controller is installed. on this case, as far as I know, controller number is always 1.
Getting device number of the spare drive of raid controller #1:
# ./arcconf getconfig 1
Controllers found: 1

Found the spare drive is
- Device 9
- CHANNEL# 0
- DEVICE# 55
The report above is lengthy and a bit confusing but device number we need is 55.
RAID 10 array logical device number LD# is 0
ASR-7805 raid CONTROLLER# is 1
Executing hot spare adding command
Hot spare adding command syntax is
# ./arcconf setstate CONTROLLER# device CHANNEL# DEVICE# hsp logicaldrive LD#
Therefore,
# ./arcconf setstate 1 device 0 55 hsp logicaldrive 0
Controllers found: 1
Command completed successfully.
Hot spare drive is successfully added onto the RAID 10 array.
