I have acquired a compaq CL380 and am attempting to configure &nbsp;and install CentOS 5. &nbsp;I have used SmartStart 5.5 to configure node 1 and the integrated array. &nbsp;I have not been able to figure out how to configure the shared storage array. There is a CR3500 configuration utility on the SmartStart CD, but it is for the Windows NT, 2000, etc environment. &nbsp;The CR3500 array configuration tools that I have found only relate to a windows environment. Any information on this will be really appreciated. &nbsp;Thanks in advance.

Servers are computing devices that are similar to desktop computers in that they have the same basic components, but are significantly different in size, configuration and purpose. Servers are usually accessed over a network, and many run unattended, without a computer monitor, input device, audio hardware or USB interfaces. Many servers do not have a graphical user interface (GUI), and are configured and managed remotely. Servers typically include hardware redundancy such as dual power supplies, RAID disk systems, and ECC memory, along with extensive pre-boot memory testing and verification. Critical components might be hot swappable, and to guard against overheating, servers might have more powerful fans or use water cooling.
