how to configure array in RHEL

[praveen..]

We bought one IBM e-server p5-550 which is connected to IBM 1733 -1RU-EXP400 External SCSI Storage .

This server is physically in USA while I am in India,

I am able to access / login on my server using ssh through putty software.

How can I get the GUI mode of the server here in India on my laptop?



We installed two servers on this one box and assigned the different IP Address.

Now I need to configure the array: 60% for the one server & 40 % for the second server,

Can you please help to configure the array on these servers and how can I get the GUI mode here in India?



These two servers are on the same IBM e-server p5-550 box.

The preferred mode to get the GUI should be enabling the vncserver and access using vncviewer.

If the server does not have a HARDWARE RAID CONTROLLER, you can use SOFTWARE RAID, you can get some examples of the use of the mdadm command:

vnc server is installed in my system,

As describen in the link:

1. Set a password using vncpasswd
2. Edit /etc/sysconfig/vncservers
3. Enable the service with chkconfig vncserver on
4. Start the service with service vncserver start
5. Edit /home/username/.vnc/xstartup if you want a more advanced session than just twm and an xterm
