G'day everyone
I have just been given a proliant 7000 server which has two Dual channel SMART-2DH Array Controllers. I have installed esmith onto the first card which is setup as a RAID 5 40Gig array. However, i would like to make use of the other raid array which is 100Gig RAID 5 array. How do I go about formating this setup and mounting it.
Here is a peek of my fstab
LABEL=/ / ext3 usrquota,grpquota 1 1
LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2
none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,owner,ro 0 0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,owner 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
/dev/ida/c0d0p2 swap swap defaults 0 0
I would love to create an ibay on the secind raid 5 array so I could backup our files there. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Please at least try to use search before asking a question. I've done it for you this time:
http://mirror.contribs.org/smeserver/contribs/mblotwijk/HowToGuides/AddExtraHardDisk.htm
In your case the disks array is likely to be /dev/sda & /dev/sdb or similar.

thats great nickr but I had already read that!
I am not sure that my esmith even recognises the second raid card, and i think you will find that being a raid it would be something like /dev/rd/
How can I see if the pc is even detected the second raid card?

hi thecat,
check the POST on the computer when it first starts
you should see a banner that comes up for each raid card and the devices it finds
there is also usually a way to enter the BIOS setup for the SCSI card to (I.E. ctrl+s)
in the setup proggy you can setup the RAID array, initialize it, etc.
if you don't see it in the banner for the SCSI card, then SME won't see it either
other than that I am not sure,
check tldp.org (the linux documentation project) and see if you can find more info there about RAID in linux
