RHEL 5.5 _x86_64 bit Installation Problem on HP Proliant ML370 G6 Server
Hi all Linux Guru's
I want to Install RHEL 5.5_x86_64 bit on HP Proliant ML370 G6 Server with 8TB SAS MDL HDD (1TB each). I want to configure Raid 0+1 and install RHEL 5.5 64 bit Server.
Please guide me how to complete the installation step by step.
Your prompt response is highly appreciated/welcome plz.....
1. Thanks for highlighting writing mistakes "My great apology" in this regard. "Please"
2. I am using a software which is not supported by RHEL 6 or above.
3. I just need how to make raid 0+1/1+0 on HP Proliant ML370 G6 Server with 8TB SAS MDL HDD (1TB each).
Thanks again
So, I guess you just go to the bios and configure your RAID set there. After that you can install RHEL.
Thanks for your reply,
This model comes with onboard raid controller. After setting to raid in BIOS, while installing RHEL 5.5 at creating "custom layout"step. I want to make raid and so on. This is my requirement.
if you have an idea please share.............
Thanks

So, have you set up the hardware RAID? You can download a SmartStart CD from HP which will allow you to configure the hardware RAID, version 8.7 might do. Unfortunately... you now need a support contract with HP to allow the download
The ML370 G6 has a SmartArray 410i. The configured RAID disk(s) will show as /dev/cciss0, /dev/ccissn, dependent on the number of volumes created, when installing RedHat

Thanks for your reply, As configuring hardware raid there is no need configuring software raid during RHEL 5.6 installation?

The hardware RAID is totally independent of whatever operating system you are using. It's usually set up using the bootable SmartStart Utility CD/DVD. I think you can also access the ACU (Array Configuration Utility) during POST (Power-on-self-test) BEFORE it gets to F9 to access the BIOS. (Watch the POST messages!)
The SmartStart CD/DVD also contain diagnostics to check the operation of the server.
There's no need to use a software RAID. Note that a hardware RAID presents NO operating overhead to the server whereas a software RAID uses the server's processor(s), memory and I/O subsystem to maintain the RAID. In a Hardware RAID, all this work is done by the RAID controller, the Operating System only sees the RAID volumes, not the individual disks.
Play Bonny!

Reason: spelling!
