Jean-Paul Natola From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [NTSysADM] OMSALIVE equivalent for HP Date: Wed, 13 Nov 2013 09:23:24 -0500 I downloaded the drivers for redhat 4 and 5, maybe i'm selecting the wrong version of Linux? the tool is pretty straight forward in directions, press F to fetch drivers from usb or floppy- One thing i noticed on the screen when fetching the drivers is that it says looking for driver*zip, yet the driver i downloaded are .dd I will try the HIREM cd next- thanks J Subject: RE: [NTSysADM] OMSALIVE equivalent for HP Date: Wed, 13 Nov 2013 09:15:53 -0500 From: [email protected] To: [email protected] I’m not surprised… Have you read the FAQ for the tool on this? It needs the linux drivers (not Windows, obviously), but even if that’s what you did, the FAQ suggests that it’s not necessarily going to work… in many cases he has to add them to the tool… and he asks that people not email him with requests…. He does give some other tool suggestions to try there though... there are several boot CD’s that are around as well that might have a more comprehensive driver repository on them. One I’ve used is “HIREM BOOT CD”. -sc From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of J- P Sent: Tuesday, November 12, 2013 10:17 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [NTSysADM] OMSALIVE equivalent for HP found drivers for the p410i on the HP site, copied it to a usb drive- and when i try to "manually add driver" it doesnt find them on my usb drive- not sure what to try next- not even sure which of the drivers I actually need and its a p410i smart array controller if that helps Jean-Paul Natola From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [NTSysADM] OMSALIVE equivalent for HP Date: Tue, 12 Nov 2013 19:46:43 -0500so im sitting here and after it did not find any windows , i told it to auto probe- and I cant tell if it is actually doing anything or if it crashes, last line on screen is End of trace fc900d00f6104ce8 Segementation fault [pata_radisys] and the cursor is blinking and its a p410 controller according to the bios Jean-Paul Natola From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [NTSysADM] OMSALIVE equivalent for HP Date: Tue, 12 Nov 2013 14:50:19 -0500I will report back tonight with my findings Jean-Paul Natola Subject: RE: [NTSysADM] OMSALIVE equivalent for HP Date: Tue, 12 Nov 2013 14:48:51 -0500 From: [email protected] To: [email protected]’ve had it happen a number of times.

Caesare Sent: Tuesday, November 12, 2013 1:41 PMTo: [email protected] Subject: RE: [NTSysADM] OMSALIVE equivalent for HP Perhaps not “just fine”. Provided the disk has included the linux drivers for said hardware already on it, it will work. If not then no, the disk will not recognize the RAID volume, and then you’ll have to decide if you want to attempt to locate and add the drivers. The FAQ for the utility addresses this. -sc From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Daniel Chenault Sent: Tuesday, November 12, 2013 2:35 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [NTSysADM] OMSALIVE equivalent for HP pogostck is just the site name. The tool is the well-used one by Peter Nordahl. If the RAID is hardware-based it’ll recognize it just fine.From: J- P Sent: Tuesday, November 12, 2013 1:19 PMTo: [email protected] Subject: RE: [NTSysADM] OMSALIVE equivalent for HP Will pogo stick recognize the raid?

That’s been my go-to tool for this for years and still works on 2008r2 (did it just last week).
