We just bought HP Storageworks MSA60 with 7.3TB RAID5 preconfigured. After connection to HP Proliant DL580 G5 server with RHEL 5.5 I can see Array under Array config utility : Logical Drive 1 (7.3 TB, RAID 5) status OK, Smart Array P212 in Slot 11 status OK, SAS Array A - 1 Logical Drive(s) status info.<br />
<br />
Access name &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;/dev/cciss/c1d0<br />

Status messages &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Description<br />
786 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Background parity initialization is currently queued or in progress on Logical Drive 1 (7.3 TB, RAID 5). If background parity initialization is queued, it will start when I/O is performed on the drive. When background parity initialization completes, the performance of the logical drive will improve. <br />
<br />
parted -l give me<br />
Error: Unable to open /dev/cciss/c1d0 - unrecognised disk label.<br />
<br />
Any advise to create and mount new disk under RHEL 5.5???<br />
<br />
Thank you

Cannot see RAID5 Array on HP Storageworks MSA60 under RHEL 5.5

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.

Linux is a UNIX-like open source operating system with hundreds of distinct distributions, including: Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, CentOS, and Arch Linux. Linux is generally associated with web and database servers, but has become popular in many niche industries and applications.
