Smartarray P410i and DL380G6

[Mauro Gatti]

Hi all,
we are facing some problems installing Linux on a DL380 G6 server.
During the installation process linux doesn't recognize the smart array controller.
We downloaded the linux driver from HP site but they are packaged in a rpm file supposing you install it on a already running machine.
Is there any procedure to install that driver during boot installation?

Thank You

Regards

Mauro

Shalom Mauro,

The procedure is to use a version of Linux that recognizing the controller on a G6 server.

For Red Hat 4.7 or higher.
5.2 or higher.

If you reveal your distribution, I can find information. There is a support matrix on HP's website.

DL380G6 supports below OS versions. This list is generic not specific. You can check hp sites for detailed OS Server support matrix.

RHEL 5.3 onwards
SLES10 SP2 onwards
SLES11
RHEL4.7 onwards

Actually I had to install Symantec System Information Manager which install its own operatin system (RedHat).
I was traying with 4.6 version of SSIM. I fond out that there is a new version 4.7 which supports G6 proliant.

Thank You
