Hi, just would like to start off by staying while I am fairly new to linux and ubuntu, I am trying to set up a small office with Ubuntu.
I have bought a Dell Poweredge 2900 server and am working towards setting it up. I have set up the server, and put the gui interface as well.
A few questions as I go through the setup
1) Not sure the RAID controller is working. I have 3- 500G SATA drives on RAID1, but it seems to see one huge 994G drive. Not sure why it is, but I have only portioned approx. 500G to use till the RAID is working properly. It seems to pick up the 80G OS drive fine.
Specs:
- Hard Drive Controller: PERC 5/i, Integrated Controller Card
- 2- 80GB 7.2K RPM Serial ATA 3Gbps3.5-in HotPlug Hard Drive
- Integrated SAS/SATA RAID 1/RAID 5, PERC 5/I Integrated
- 3- 500GB 7.2K RPM Universal SATA 3Gbps 3.5-in HotPlug Hard Drive
Question: Any ideas on why or how to correct this? Am I missing something?
2) With the server came the Dell System Console and Agent CD which contains such items as the Dell OpenManage Server Administration, Remote Access Controller and several other utilities. On the DELL servers, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server is supported with the following commands:
- sh srvadmin-install.sh –express
Question: How would I be able to determine and install the srvadmin onto the server as it is an RPM install file?
Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.
thanks
