ML310 G3-Integrated SATA RAID

[Beaker]

I will be adding two additional drives to a ML310 G3 Proliant server.
Currently we have 2 80GB drives installed. We will be adding 2 250GB drives. I have plugged in the drives and the server sees them. I would like to mirror the drives.
Can I configure a secound raid array in the BIOS.
Can I do this through ILO?
I have been trying to access the SATA raid via ILO by hitting F8 when it comes up but it doesn't seem to work.
Do function keys work in ILO?

Can anyone help?

yes you can access array conf through ilol

Do you have any hoy key configured?

in ilo

- go to Remote console
- Settings
- Hot keys

and assign a combination of keys for F8

I did try setting up hot keys. I selected control + x.

It didn't seem to work.

Any ideas...

hi

well if you have install Windows in that machine and ilo in this case you're telling us

why dont you create the RAID using Array configuration utility within Windows?

[Beaker]

Thanks.

That sounds like a great idea.

I want to keep the existing array and a second.

What are the steps?

hi Beaker

sorry about the configuration from Windows if you have a SATA RAID controller

- SCSI Models: Single Channel U320 SCSI Adapter in PCI-X slot

- SATA Models: Four Channel embedded SATA Controller

you can not use Array configuration Utility that tool only supports Smart Array Controllers

really sorry you have use the array utility from BIOS

So the hot keys should work in ILO? Correct?

[KarloChacon]

yes they must

In fact I can enter in my ilo and press F8 see my RAIDs Level and ....

without configuring any key
I told about hot keys because sometimes it helps
