Hard Drive Question


Hello all,

I'm adding a new SCSI HDD to a compaq server that is setup with RAID. Can someone please assist me (refresh my memory) on how to add an additional SCSI HDD to the system?

The Dist is Suse 7.3

Thanks,

Ghost

Set the ID to something not used. SCSI controllers usually use 7. Make sure the terminator is on the end of the chain.

Are you using a hardware or software RAID?

It's a hardware raid actually. Nothing shows up in the /proc/SCSI file at all. I beleive the RAID configuration file specs shows up under /proc/array.

I dont know if, in order to get the drive recognized if I have to reboot the system and configure the drive via the Compaq utilities or if there is an easier way that I can add the drive via the operating system without having to reboot the system.
