DL 180 and RAID drivers

Hi,

I want purpose new server of HP that is DL180 with it but RAID card is not supporting Linux 4.5 and installation is not getting completed.
We will be purchasing 300 Servers if it works.

Is there any drivers support for RHEL 4.5 by HP ?

Regards

Hi,

you did not mentioned g5 or g6

DL 180 G5/G6 is licensed by HP for RHEL 4 and RHEL 5.

What is error you are getting ? Screens ?

Here is contact to HP, I suppose you can contact them directly

Re: DL 180 and RAID drivers

Application is compatible with RHEL 4.5 and already running on RHEL 4.5.

So client don't want to change OS version. so i give them solution HP-DL180 of 300 Servers but its not working,

Installation is not picking up HDD├в s due to RAID driver.


will hp help wil me in this regard.

The minimum required RHEL release is U7 : http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/servers/linux/dl180g6-drivers-cert.html

There's nothing wrong with updating with latest RHEL; in fact you'll benefit from security patches and so on :-) .

Actually the Red hat HW certification page says RHEL 4.8 is needed: https://hardware.redhat.com/show.cgi?id=521121

Re: DL 180 and RAID drivers

but client is not agreed to change OS release. if something happen to application (now/later) then he will blame us.

can you compile a RAID rivers and provide us, because its a big deal with client about 300 systems else they will chose IBM or DELL.

Hope HP will help is this regard.
