    Newb Installing 10.04 on Proliant 3000 Server

    I got my hands on my first real server hardware yesterday - a PIII 600 MHz COMPAQ Proliant 3000 with 1.8 GB RAM, Smart Array 3200 controller and 4x18.2GB SCSI ULTRA 3 hard drives. RAM is upgraded from original and USB card added - otherwise hardware arrangement appears to be original.

    Minimal 10.04 installed (35 minutes boot to boot) as Server 10.04 could not detect CD drive.

    My problem? Everything works but it does not look right. Probably my bigger problem?? I know almost nothing about RAID and the more I read the more ethereal my understanding seems to become.

    When installing, I chose to install with LVM on c0d0. Grub written to MBR.

    I have posted df -l, fdisk -l and lshw output below. Would someone tell me if this looks correct and, possibly, offer some pointers if it does not.

    df -l:

    Re: Newb Installing 10.04 on Proliant 3000 Server

    As usual, seem to have solved it myself. The info in my original post is wrong. I did install incorrectly.

    Booted the SmartStart CD and did a System Erase and then followed the CD cues. This included configuring the system as RAID5. Then I pretended to wish to install SCO LinuxWare 7.1 but did not have the CD for it. So, I popped in the Ubuntu Server 10.04 Minimal CD and .... life is good. df -l and fdisk -l now return results that look correct.
