RH5.4 with direct connection to MSA60

[Dary]

Hi All,

RH5.4x/DL380G6 direct connection to MSA60, fdisk does not see the disk/LUN?

Where should I start? other servers connected to MSA seeing the luns fine.

Thanks.

What model Smart Array controller have you installed in the server to attach the MSA60 too?

What's in the boot log or dmesg? do you see the cciss driver loading and identifying the storage?

I don't see MSA disk?

[Jimmy Vance]

The MSA1000 looks fine, and the embedded Smart Array controller shows up. Again I ask, what model Smart Array controller is the MSA60 connected to?

[T. Cooper]

I have this same issue. Its connectd to a P411 with BBC.
