Raid in a Compaq ProLiant ML-310 Server..


Hi to all, I'm new here!!

I would make a question...

I installed Slack-9 in a Compaq ProLiant ML-310 server that has a built-in raid controller with 2 Maxtor 80GB in Raid-1.

Well... I re-compiled kernel with support of a lot of Block-Dev until I could find this in Boot message:

but nothing was find.

I installed RAID-1 in the past, with HPT or Promise controller with 0 problems...... I used ATARAID and I was able to view the ATARAID device /dev/ataraid/d0p1....

Here with this compaq-damn-controller... I can only view
/dev/hdc and /dev/hdd that are hardware device... but I should mount and use the RAID!!!!

In hope that u had understood my bad english.... I'll thank u to have spent so much time to read this not so few lines...

This is what I encountered, too, with my new ProLiant ML330 G3 ATA.

Additionally I got lots of messages like:

hde: lost interrupt

and so on. I searched Google for any hints but didn't found any help.

I already replaced the ATA cable, changed the order of cabling (both drives of two on one IDE bus, one on each)

Help would be very much desired.

BTW: How does it look like if a IDE RAID controller is deteced correctly? What would be the RAID device, then?

Regards, Ronald

O.k., fine.

Could you please explain, which of the shown devices will be the one which shows the RAID to Linux?

What I mean: Which device do I have to mount after the boot has finished?

Is it a controller defined RAID (means: did you configure the RAID within the controller BIOS) or is it a software RAID?

Regards, Ronald

Driver is megaide, devices are /dev/sda and /dev/sdb.
I don't have real scsi devices, this are created thru the driver (megaide).
RAID is configured within the BIOS (1x40Gb, 2x80GB) and SCSI devices are sda (40Gb - used as system disk) and sdb (80Gb - miroring 2 80Gb).
When you installing system, you have to load the driver megaide after you load kernel and before you start making partitions.

My install is on RH8.0 which is supported system
Drivers for megaide are:
http://support.megaraid.com/support/download.cfm
Pick the ' MegaRAID ATA 133-2-[524] '

I mailed the manufacturer of this card and they supplied me with a open source driver. It worked great in Slackware 9.1, I'm now booting my system from on a RAID1 raid on the Megaide controller.

What email address for the manufacturer did you use? I'd like to request it as well.

Description of installation

Hi,
did anyone sucessfully install the raid module for SuSE 8.1 or 8.2?

My system does not recognize my array, but just two single disks.

I already downloaded LinuxMCC_1.28-10.jar.zip from lsilogic.com, but I don't know how to install it correctly. Can anyone help me, please.

Thanks a lot.

Miss-Linux
