I had a system which was running CentOS 5.x very nicely on a 2 drive system with an nVidia Raid controller. The fake raid option was turned off. I am trying to upgrade this system to 6.x by doing... [by zitsky]
I have a server with a Supermicro motherboard that has an nVidia RAID controller on board. When I boot up, I can hit F10 and see/modify the RAID settings.
However, I don't want to reboot this server in order to check the status of the RAID array. Is there any kind of Linux/Ubuntu server CLI program that will let me do that?
I have a software raid 10 with 6 x 2tb hard drives (raid 1 for /boot), ubuntu 10.04 is the os.
I had a raid controller failure that put 2 drives out of sync, crashed the system and initially the os didnt boot up and went into initramfs instead, saying that drives were busy but I eventually managed to bring the raid up by stopping and assembling the drives.
The os booted up and said that there we
When Ubuntu 9.10 landed, I installed it and saw the partitioner listed my drives in a weird fashion. I have 4 drives in my system - two 500gb drives, two 250gb drives. The 250s appear as nvidia-mapper-device, or something like that. I was told this was fake raid. Since Ubuntu 9.10 gave me a lot of trouble, I used 9.04 and never "fixed" this issue.
Ive looked and most of the posts I see are related to software raid,
I have a Dell 9200 with 2x 500G hard drives and Raid1,
no matter what I try it seems to go into an endless boot loop on restart,
where am I going wrong?
Im a total noob at this, so no big words please.
this PC did have 10.04 on it on a raid 1 so I know it does work,
I had a lot of corrupted files so decided to completely wipe it
Got a RAID question. My PC has 2 identical 500gb HDs. My BIOS setup does not show anything related to RAID, I've checked every entry, every option, yet the 9.10 installer "sees" RAID.
So, is my hardware physically set up as RAID? How can I check? I'd like to have it as 2 separate drives, and screw RAID. What do I do?
I'm trying to install /boot in a RAID 1 using 3 TB disks. As the RAID partition do not let you manage partitions than more than 2 TB, CentOS automatically configures the partitions using GPT.
My current machine (HP Proliant ML110 G4) does not support EFI/GPT so it uses MBR to boot the system.
I have leased a dell poweredge r210 server, it's default configuration is CentOS 5.x as OS and a hardware RAID 1 controller configured. I want to configure my hardware RAID but can't seem to figure out where.
I have a motherboard with an NVIDIA raid controller on it. I used to use it until it became unstable.
