Re: Raid 5 with linux on rx2600
I have not done this on an rx class server. But recently I did try it on a Intel/Dell server. The minimum number of disks for striping is 3.
If you want any of reliability or performance, you need 5.
These findings may or not apply but the disk druid will let you know during installation.

Re: Raid 5 with linux on rx2600
If it's Hardware RAID, there's absolutely nothing stopping you from doing RAID5.
If it's software RAID, you can do it, it's just a little trickier.
Depending on how far you want to go with your software RAID volumes depends on how far you need to go. If you want all file systems to be on a software-RAID volume, it's probably easier to re-install the OS and use the linux distribution's partitioning tools (RH's DiskDruid for example).

Re: Raid 5 with linux on rx2600
2) your controller is supported!
3) raid config shoud be done thru firmware or thru hp software downloadable from www.hp.com/linux
4) look for it in this forum and you'll find everything.
5) as far as I know it's possible to do raiding on linux+yourcontroller.
Peace, R

Re: Raid 5 with linux on rx2600
Now, the only thing I can think of which would have disparaging information about this controller in this series of machine is whether it is 'supported' or 'certified' by HP in that environment!
Now, if we look at the certification matricies for that series of server, (at http://h10018.www1.hp.com/wwsolutions/linux/products/servers/itanium-cert-matrix.html ), you can see that the machine is ceritifed for both RH and Suse enterprise products.
Where did you see that the controller wasn't supported under Linux?
