RAID non supported ?!?!?!?

Hi,
i'm trying to install ASL V7.09 on a HP ML110 G4 server with 2 x 160 Gb SATA drives; i'd like to enable the RAID controlle to develop a raid 1 system...

but  DON'T WORK... when the installation is complete the ASL console can't find the operating system... there is a way to make it work or the configuration is not supported ?

  • Check the HCL; most SATA RAID devices aren't yet supported; I've run into the same problem there -- the solution right now is to use hardware on that list.

    The HCL is located at http://www.astaro.com/lists/HCL-ASG-V7.txt

  • so Intel 3000 family chipset ar not supported !

    but tho onboard SATA ICH8 controller YES !
    for this reason i can use a single-disk configuration and when i try to enable a RAID 1 function i got problem ! 

    [:(]
  • Look under the RAID section of the HCL; that's where you need to look for RAID compatibility.  Often simply running an ICH chipset in legacy mode or without a mirror will work, but their RAID modes are note supported (at least in my experience).  Also, the HCL is a guideline ... they can't possibly test ALL hardware configurations out there -- so newer chipsets may or may not work. To guarantee success, we generally go by the HCL.

  • tnks... redhat support raid 1 configuration for this controller; i hope also astaro will do !

    this server ( ml110 ) are very good system .... 350 € for a P4 3.2ghz, 512 Mb and 160 Gb sata drive  !
    i've bought 4 server for this project because i need to configure 4 new ASL firewall....
    Grrrrrrr   [:(]

  • Sounds like you'll have some spare drives (make sure the extra drive is removed before attempting to install the ASG software) ... or you can add one of the certified SATA RAID controllers on the HCL.
