Probs Install RHEL4U4 on ProLiant DL320G4

[Alexander Leutz]

Hi all,

my installation of RHEL4U4 doesn't work on our new ProLiant DL320G4. I downloaded for the HP-internal-RAID-Conroller (Intel 82801G) a linux-driverdisk (adpahci). But this driverdisk doesn't support RHEL4 with update 4. So starting the installation without the driverdisk doesn't recognize the hardware-raid, and the anaconda-installar would partition the diskdrives as JBOD and ignores my hardware-raid - but that isn't what I want.
I googled but did not found a newer adpahci driver.
I won't install the server without hardware-raid-support!
Any one any idea on this problem?

If HP doesn't release new driver for RHEL4U4, you only wait for them.

Or use RHEL4U3.

Hello Alexander,

Whats the raid controller model and the kernel version?

Hi,

the Controller called HP embedded but shows as Intel 82801G.
The kernel of RHEL4U4 is kernel-2.6.9-39.EL
There are some hints in the releasenotes of redhat, but not directly on my problem. I CAN view my harddrives, but i CAN'T view them as one hardware-raid.

Not sure if you have tried this already,
adpahci-1.2.5552.rhel4.i686.img

Do you get an option to enter the sata controller bios and configure array?

Not too clear when you say CAN'T view them as one hardware-raid.

If you setup raid 1,only one drive is persented to the OS.

I tried the adpahci-1.20.3858-driverdisk.
...but the new kernelversion doesn't accept the driverdisc.


Thanks for your suggestion, but the 1.2.5552 supports only rhel4 update 2...


It ist correct, that after building the RAID1 the linux-installer should only see 1 harddisk. But it shows me both "single"-harddiskdrives!

I have same problem with DL320 G3 on SLES9SP3. See 'IT resource center forums > Servers > ProLiant servers (BL,ML,DL) >
