DL380 with RHEL5.4 x86_64

[Manuel Corrêa]

Hi,

I'm trying to install on a DL380 G6 the RHEL5.4 x86_64 and I'm not having success on that job.

It keeps saying that no devices were found...

I already search for this issue and I found that other people has already post here this issue, having the same problem.
But, unffortunally I didn't find any answer/help to overcome this problem.

Has anyone have a clue, help?
Thanks in advance.

Best regards,
Manel

Shalom Manel,

The server IS supported with RHEL 64 bit.

At the console.

Boot the system.

Look for a message offering to set up smart start or P400 storage controller.

Hit the function key indicated.

Set up the storage on the system. I recommend raid 1 for the boot disk.

After you set up and present storage you should be able to get through it.

You must however be using Red Hat 5, update 2 or later for this to work. The earlier versions of RHEL 5.x did not have storage drivers for the G6 server line.
