No disk detected during SLES 8.1 install
i have quiet a heavy problem here
i'm setting up a HP DL 380 G4 server with SuSE SLES 8.1. I first set up a disk array (HP SMart Array 6i) using ORCA (two disks with RAID 1). I then try to install SuSE but at the very beginning when it comes to probe the hardware YAST stops saying : "No hard disk were found : check your hardware).
I did the same on previous servers with Smart Array 5i and never encountered the problem.
Does SLES 8.1 have kernel support for Smart Array 6i by default ?
If not how can i somehow fix this ?
Any help is greatly appreciated
thanks a lot

Re: No disk detected during SLES 8.1 install
Until this is done, no OS install can be completed.
If missing the disk is downloadable.

Re: No disk detected during SLES 8.1 install
You'll need to download the storage array driver from http://h18000.www1.hp.com/support/files/server/us/family/model/5561.html?lang=en&cc=us , but I don't see SLES8.1 directly, but the SLES8/ULE1 section might be sufficient.

Re: No disk detected during SLES 8.1 install
other have already given enough information, let me just see whether anything basic is missed out.
just go to RBSU and see whether this controller is selected as default, if not move it as first in boot controller order.
I believe 380G4 is supported for SLES 8 x86 version, so you shouldnt be having any problem.
if you cant find success in it, next method is to check syslog output of SLES installation. we will go to that later if you cant find success with this.

Re: No disk detected during SLES 8.1 install
thanks a lot for all the inputs
that enabled me to solve te issue
i somehow managed to retrieve the SuSE 8.1 SP3 CD. then i booted up on it and used an external USB driver with a floppy containing the driver diskette for the 6i SCSI controller and SuSE was then able to update drivers.
thanks all for your help
