All the code under the release is RH code.<BR /><BR />Almost all RH rpms will install inot Centos.<BR /><BR />Perhaps that might help.<BR /><BR />SEP Thu, 15 Dec 2005 10:30:42 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/proliant-servers-ml-dl-sl/raid-monitoring-on-hp-dl360-g4-with-smartarray6i-how-do-i/m-p/3691195#M48282 Steven E.

After fixing that the driver did try to install but there is already the latest driver in CentOS anyway! The reason I guess it isn't recognising the raid array is because it is a hardware controller as oppose to software...<BR />The solution I am going to use now is to install the HP management agents that are compatible with Redhat 4 and these should allow me to monitor the raid! :) Fri, 16 Dec 2005 03:53:25 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/proliant-servers-ml-dl-sl/raid-monitoring-on-hp-dl360-g4-with-smartarray6i-how-do-i/m-p/3691198#M48285 rock_hopper 2005-12-16T03:53:25Z
