It seems like you are looking for the Smart Array E200i controller driver disk for RHEL 4 installation.

This is the driver for the array controller. Download the file, create a driver disk (floppy disk). The rest of the instructions are also in the same link.

Sorry to ask, but have you tried the following:

To install Linux using this "ProLiant Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 (x86)" Driver Diskette, boot your Linux machine with your Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 CD1 in your CD-ROM Drive.

A menu will be displayed, prompting for your input. Type the following line of code to inform the operating system of the diskette:

# linux updates dd

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 (x86) will prompt for the Updates Diskette and the ProLiant Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 (x86) Driver Diskette during the installation procedure.

Also, the driver disk must be "created", you cannot simply copy the downloaded file to the floppy disk.

In Linux/Unix:
# dd if=cpq_cciss-.rhel4.i686.dd of=/dev/fd0 bs=1440k

Under DOS:

C:\> d:\dosutils\rawrite

Enter disk image source file name: cpq_cciss-.rhel4.i686.dd

Hi adric
I have install following you, but not install, not find harddisk in server, not driver to install redhat. Help me.

That's strange. I think we will need to start from the basics then. I am assuming that the hard drives are connected to the E200i controller. If so, when you go into the ACU (array configuration), you should be able create / manage arrays.

Please backup all data, delete the existing RAID configuration, then create a new RAID array. Insert the RHEL 4 disc 1, at the boot: type "linux updates dd".

Hope this helps.

The other thing you can try is:

Boot the server to RBSU by pressing F9 during POST.

Select the System Options & select Operating System as Linux.

Also, check the Boot Controller Order & make sure that the E200 controller is the first controller to be used.

Good Luck!

adric: the 'Select Operating System' is no longer necessary and doesn't even appear in current servers.

luongson: you should be using RHEL 4 Update 4 since that contains driver support for your system.
