Hi, If your problem is that the machine will not boot, try pulling all the drives from the PV220S before turning on the power.
That should boot fine, meaning that your first onboard disk will be /dev/sda and then it should boot. At that point, login as root and change you /etc/fstab to not use /dev/sda, but rather LABEL=/boot. For example, on this server: # fdisk -l /dev/sda Disk /dev/sda: 146.6 GB, 146695782400 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 17834 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 1 13 104391 83 Linux /dev/sda2 14 144 1052257+ 83 Linux /dev/sda3 145 2233 16779892+ 83 Linux /dev/sda4 2234 17834 125315032+ 5 Extended /dev/sda5 2234 4322 16779861 83 Linux /dev/sda6 4323 5366 8385898+ 83 Linux /dev/sda7 5367 6410 8385898+ 82 Linux swap /dev/sda8 6411 6932 4192933+ 83 Linux /dev/sda9 6933 17834 87570283+ 83 Linux # cat /etc/fstab LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1 LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2 # e2label /dev/sda1 /boot # e2label /dev/sda2 / Paul ----- Original Message ----- From: "david o'donnell" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Cc: "Jon Smith" <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, August 4, 2009 3:28:18 PM (GMT-0600) America/Chicago Subject: Re: PE6850 boot order problem My quest is to drive the 5 internal drives in a RAID 10 + 1 hots spare and the additional array with no RAID. As I want to use Oracle ASM disks and let the ASM instance take care of that. I planned to use split bus on the PV220S and have 2 controller cards and match the ASM disks either side. This would be my perfect scenario. The LSI cards I have the RAID is optional, so you can set then just to be SCSI adaptors. Can you tell me what is a supported card(s) for the PV220 and also compatible with the PE6850 that has a PERC 4e/Di? I spent most of the day onto Dell sales to try and find out and only ended up searching the website in vain. I am guessing an LSI20320IE but then again I got it really wrong before ;-) Yes, I have learnt a big lesson with the amount of time I have spent fruitlessly trying to ge this to connect.

The aforementioned configuration leads me to think they might be wanting to setup a raid 5 with 13 disks. The card shows it only supports 0 & 1 raid config. Also it is not a supported controller card for the PV220. http://www.lsi.com/storage_home/products_home/host_bus_adapters/scsi_hbas/lsi20320r/ _______________________________________________ Linux-PowerEdge mailing list [email protected] https://lists.us.dell.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-poweredge Please read the FAQ at http://lists.us.dell.com/faq _______________________________________________ Linux-PowerEdge mailing list [email protected] https://lists.us.dell.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-poweredge Please read the FAQ at http://lists.us.dell.com/faq
