Chris,
It's like ARC boot, /dev/cciss/"Controller#,Drive#,Partition#"
The first disk should be /dev/cciss/c0d0p1 - px
The second one should be /dev/cciss/c0d1p1 - px
So, your RHEL installation most likely created file systems such as,
/boot on /dev/cciss/c0d0p1 ~100MB swap on /dev/cciss/c0d0p2 / on /dev/cciss/c0d0p3
"fdisk /dev/cciss/c0d1" should let you create partition(s) on the second logical drive.
Did you use the onboard RAID card in the DL380? If so, it's not going to provide the best performance for such large file systems, it's really designed for booting from, and some fairly straight forward stuff like web content, where the OS will cache much of the content anyways. Another thing to think about is spare disks, if you didn't save one disk for a hot spare you might want to reconsider it, if you were to leave one disk out of the array you can make it be be the spare for as many arrays as there are on the one controller.
Hope this helps,
Kevin

I can't seem to get the manual fdisk partition thing down. Got a new HP
DL360 with a direct attached HP MSA 30. The DL360 has a RAID card that
limits the file size to 2TB. The MSA 30 has 14 300GB scsi drives. I have
configured the RAID controller to have 2 logical drives both with 1.5TB
logical drives. Installed RHEL and it will not let me create the
partitions the size I want at install time. This is what I need, I have
the OS on the RAID1 logical drive on the DL360. The problem comes when I
try to fdisk the other direct attached storage. First, how do I know what
to fdisk? I know I need to start with /dev/cciss/?? but there are 2052
possibilites after that. I would assume after I find what device I want to
fdisk, i would run fdisk /dev/cciss/$drive, then n for the new partition. after that I would assume to mkfs.ext3 and after that create a lable and
add it to fstab. Any help would be appreciated, email or web link.
Regards,
Chris
