Re: [CentOS] Installing a CentOS based distro with Raid driver - Citrix XenServer
May be a Fake RAID rather than true hardware raid. See *Is* fake raid onboard, you need the correct chassis midplane w/ the associated DIMM to enable the LSI chip based hardware raid. I don't realy know if it is either a good SW or HW RAID but my boss doesn't want me to use Linux RAID instead of the SW RAID provided by the system itself Your boss unfortunately doesn't understand Linux well enough to have come to that decision. When he writes the driver for you he can then use it the way he hopes:) ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

I'm using RAID 10 and for my install RAID is detected, but once I reboot (after the install) the system cannot boot on the OS it seems that I had to use mkinitrd but I don't know how to use it. During installation everything is fine and just before reboot, I got to type some shell command to tell the system that he had to use the raid driver at reboot (there is also a problem that I use an USB key to instert the driver and it is viewed as /dev/sda then the system detect the Raid disk and called it /dev/sdb), maybe I had to do something with that before rebooting with a fresh install of XenServer -- Cordialement, / Greetings, Georghy FUSCO ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] Installing a CentOS based distro with Raid driver - Citrix XenServer
Hi everyone, I'm trying to install a XenServer on a server (ref:S5000PAL) http://www.intel.com/products/server/motherboards/s5000pal/s5000pal-overview.htm The installation failed because of lack of Raid driver, I found this out because I tried to install XenServer without raid and it worked great. I tried so many drivers, I don't know what to do I tried also this trick : http://forums.citrix.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1456872#1456872 with this : http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=YDwnldID=18570lang=fra driver, but it didn't work (I use the SATA Raid controler not the SAS, so it seems that I have to find the good driver for ESB2 but I'm not sure and it uses megasr driver) Anyone as a clue ? PS : I posted on Citrix forum but nobody's answering, if someone here has a clue I'm greatful to him -- Cordialement, / Greetings, Georghy FUSCO ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
