You might want to look at the output of a

P00>>> show config

as well. That should break down the PCI buses...

Cheers,

OK. It doesn't appear that you have a RAID controller installed...

It looks like you have one SCSI card (pka0) connecting the CD-ROM (dka500) and another (pkb0) that the four 18GB disks are connected to.

If you want to do hardware RAID then you'll need to obtain a supported controller.

The options list you can find here:

http://h18002.www1.hp.com/alphaserver/options/asds20/asds20_options.html

Basically you're looking at one of the following three cards:

KZPAC-AA Single channel 4MB cache
KZPAC-CA Three channel 4MB cache
KZPAC-CB Three channel 8MB cache

Please double check the installed hardware though to make sure I'm right !

Another option would be to use software mirroring within the OS, although as you're coming from a Windows background you'll probably feel more confident with hardware RAID...

Cheers,

What is this card KZPCM-DX ,i open the server to look inside

[Rob Leadbeater]

Hi,

KZPCM-DX, if I recall correctly, is the spares number for a KZPCM-DA.

This is a PCI 2-port UltraSCSI single-ended adapter and 10/100 Mb Ethernet combo adapter.

Cheers,

Rob
