Adding new hard disk on Linux

logaraman — Tue, 21 Mar 2006 09:17:15 GMT

Ignore my previous mail.

We have redhat linux 9 installed on a compaq ultra 320 server having cisss drivers . We have attached a new scsi hard disk which doesnt detect.

Could anyone help on this. Also could you let us know how to find if RAID is configured on LINUX.

Shalom,

Have you booted the server?

If it does not detect after boot:

Boot the system off the cd that comes with it for setting up storage. Add the disk to the existing storage setup.

Boot back into Linux.

The disk should be visible now.

hi,

the server has been rebooted and we do not have a storage CD as it is not a storage box.

Any things else can be tried

You can download array configuration utility (ACU) for linux from the hp downloads site.

Except there is no ACU for RH9.

All CCISS based controllers that I know have a RAID BIOS where you can configure the containers during boot-time.

After the boot, the device should be available as a new disk as '/dev/cciss/c0d1' (or appropriately named based on controller id and container id).
