Re: RAID card issues with RX8620 running RedHat Advance Server 4.
l'm wondering if RedHat Advanced Server (4.0) does not have the correct drivers that RHEL 3 & 4 did/do, and this is why they couldn't get these servers running off the hardware raid to begin with.
Alan, did you use the Samrt Start CD to create the RAID partitions on your RX8620's? The guy here says you can't........
Thanks,
Al

Re: RAID card issues with RX8620 running RedHat Advance Server 4.
Are you running RHAS (Advanced Server) or RHEL?
l found this reference to the 5300 RAD cards and found compatability for RHEL up to 4.0, but only to 2.1 on Advanced Server (http://h18007.www1.hp.com/support/files/storage/us/family/model/1237.html?lang=en&cc=us&prodSeriesId=374791)

Re: RAID card issues with RX8620 running RedHat Advance Server 4.
So perhaps either this is a strange batch of RX8620's, or a strange batch of cards.....

SolutionIt is strange that your 640x cards aren't even detected -- are you sure the tech is locking the cards into place so that the slot is powered up? Using a "reconnect -r" from the EFI shell should at least give you a battery/partition summary from the smart array card.
Like I said, our Olympias run rhel3 and rhel4 with both 53xx and 64xx cards -- but we're a testing environment, so (as I've said) we do some things that aren't official or supported.

Re: RAID card issues with RX8620 running RedHat Advance Server 4.
Your advice on the battery charge fixed the issue with the 5304 cards he was installing on the servers.
It was probably the same issue that gave him issues on the 6400 cards as well.
So with Advanced Server 4.0 you have to load the OS without the hardware RAID (as the card has no Advance Server driver past 2.1), and then migrate to the Hardware RAID once installed.
Spoke with our HP rep who said that the cards were compatible with Advance Server 4.0, but will have to check and see why the drivers are not on the support site.
