Adding SCSI HDD to SME 6 server that has 2 disk IDE Raid
« on: April 06, 2005, 05:12:28 PM »
Dear all
I have set-up a sme 6 server running 2 disk IDE raid
its all configured and running perfectly
I have a 18gig SCSI hdd on an LSI SCSI card that was taken from a sme 6.5 beta server that has alot of data on it.
FS is EXT3 on the SCSI disk

I have added the SCSI card and HDD but fdisk cant see it. FDISK reports

[root@betty root]# fdisk -l

Disk /dev/hdc: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 4865 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes

   Device Boot    Start       End    Blocks   Id  System
/dev/hdc1   *         1        13    104391   fd  Linux raid autodetect
/dev/hdc2            14      4832  38708617+  fd  Linux raid autodetect
/dev/hdc3          4833      4865    265072+  fd  Linux raid autodetect

Disk /dev/hdd: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 4865 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes

   Device Boot    Start       End    Blocks   Id  System
/dev/hdd1   *         1        13    104391   fd  Linux raid autodetect
/dev/hdd2            14      4832  38708617+  fd  Linux raid autodetect
/dev/hdd3          4833      4865    265072+  fd  Linux raid autodetect

What am i doing wrong? ISt it that sme hasnt loaded the driver for the card because 6.5 found it straight away when i added it post setup.

Any help would be apreciated as i dont want to have to rip it back down and start again

Kind regards

Andy

Hey Andy,
lets start off with a couple simple questions
1) are you sure the system "sees" the adapter?
2) do you see any mention of the adapter in dmesg?
3) do you see mention of the adapter from the BIOS?

Hey Joe

I just sussed it!!!

I was just being an idiot... sorry!

Needed to load the SCSI driver for it to see the card and then of course the HDD.

Thanks for your reply though.
