Need Raid management software

Hi,

Since you are not using a Software Raid your CentO 5 has no idea you're running a RAID it simply thinks that it is using a hard disk while your Cpntorller have utilities which are available during the boot time.

There's also this SES-2 GUI management progam as well but I am afraid for the time being it runs only over a Windows OS. So you'll need to do this management tasts aftera boot oer the built in BIOS.

But it seesm at keast ASM utility is available in Linux. Please check their site for the latest version of the program. Utilities are avalibale as a single install modulea for fownload or CD.iso

the thing is i will be administrating the server from the console. should i get vnc on the server to be able to use the raid manager thing?

Definitely yes. If you install ASM it will run through your X display manager. When you connect your X sission via VNC it will be displaying the management screens through your VNC session too.

will try and keep you posted :D

k take your time :)
Please use the lates software from the link I've posted here rather than the installation CD if possible.

so. you are right, and that is the right place to look for the drivers. Centos5 is not supported, and gives in errors.

[root@jupiter ~]# rpm -ihv StorMan-4.11.x86_64.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
        libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 is needed by StorMan-4.11-00.i386
[root@jupiter ~]#


i have pinged the guys at supermicro, and acmemicro, the vendor, and i will see what it comes up :)

Hi,

The library you need is present at Centos installation cd. You might also get it through yum. Just issue this commnad it will get you the required libraries:

yum install compat-libstdc++-296

Cheers,
K.

 

you're a genious ... thanks for pinning that out. i had installed compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-61 ... but not 296 :( too much coffee ... millions thanks really.
