Hi,
I am running redhat5.1 on a compaq prliant DL380 where it has 4 internal drives, 2 drives are of size 18GB and 2 of size 72GB , But for some reason the server doesnt see none of the drives except the drive on slot 0
How should I make the other drives to be visible and use them?

[root@lablnx01 ~]# fdisk -l

Disk /dev/cciss/c0d0: 18.2 GB, 18203197440 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 2213 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/cciss/c0d0p1 * 1 13 104391 83 Linux
/dev/cciss/c0d0p2 14 2213 17671500 8e Linux LVM

Thanks in Advance

Probably because the internal array hasn't been set up, and only one drive is a 'member'.

Reboot the box, and when you get the BIOS posting message, go in and configure the drive array(s) however you want them. After the system boots, you should see the other drives.

Another option is that the drives are there, but not formatted/mounted. What happens when you do an "ls /dev/cciss/*"?
