rogerpatel — Thu, 20 Dec 2007 09:38:03 GMT

Hello,

hopefully a quick one, i have just bought two of these budget server for testing, i'm using the on-board LSI Logic Raid.

I have setup a simple mirror and installed windows.

Where is the Windows Raid Software so i can manage / view status of drives in Windows ?

Thanks

Hi,

I think this is it. It was listed on the ML150 G3 support site.

If you are using LSI logic controller then Mega Raid configuration software is what you need

I am not able to get the exact download link.

However you could choose the specific LSI logic card from the list.

Also you could call +44 1344 413 441(LSI Technical Support) if you need further assistance.

fantastic, thanks very much.

I have two last questions whick i need clearing up prior to installing it.

1, As this software is not on the HP web site is it a good practice to install it, Surely HP should have had it up there somewhere?

2, what are the chances of installing it and blowing the array to bits, i only ask this as its a live server and i cant be asked rebuilding it during my Xmas Holidays?

Thanks

Hi

Yes you can go ahead and install the utility.
It is safe.

Download MegaRC windows from the link http://www.lsi.com/storage_home/products_home/internal_raid/megaraid_sata/megaraid_sata_1506/index.html

Same link sent before.

Cheers
