Hi,
I'm trying to install SME7.1 on a new server. Hardware is Intel S3000AHV board, with P4 CPU, 1 GB of Kingston RAM and a pair of Samsung HD080HJ SATA II disks for RAID 1. Intel says the board is compatible with Redhat Enterprise 4, so should be OK for SME. (?)
Strange things are happening, though:
- SME takes about 30 minutes to install which is far longer than I'm used to.
- After installation SME identifies the disks as hda and hdb, and not sda/sdb as I thought it would.
- RAID 1 disk-mirroring proceeds at a speed of about 1600 kB/s. Total time is calculated to be more than 15 hours!! But server hangs after 1 hour.
Does anybody have idea what could be wrong, or have experience with these hardware components?? I've tried settings jumpers on the disks to limit them to 1,5 GB/s, that only made things worse.....
Thanks,
Oz
