HI,
1. Install SME 7.0 B4 to Dell Poweredge SC 1420 Server.
Installation went ok. but i didn't get option to setup my RAID ( I got 2X 80GB SATA Drive)?
2. I just check this command
[root@filesvr ~]# cat /proc/mdstat
Personalities : [raid1]
md2 : active raid1 sdb2[1] sda2[0]
78019584 blocks [2/2] [UU]
md1 : active raid1 sdb1[1] sda1[0]
104320 blocks [2/2] [UU]
unused devices: <none>
Is this mean my server got RAID Installed?
3. How do i monitor the RAID? can i use this smeserver-raidmonitor-0.0.1-6dmay.noarch.rpm ?
4. Setup this server as a PDC how do i create shared folders and map to 3 workstation users?
5. How do i backup user data ?

You need to read some docs.
SME 7.0 Betas install raid 1 by default if 2 drives are found and raid 5, I believe although I can't confirm it yet, if 3 of more drives are found.
There is a raidmonitor rpm installed by default. It does use mdadm. So, I suggest to test, you disconnect one of the drives, reboot and see if it screams at you.
Server-manager/workgroup to make this a PDC. Create ibays and map drives to those if you have set the ibay up correctly. Data will be saved to the ibay/files directory.
You can also join the 7.x mailing list at smeserver.sourceforge.net to keep an eye on how the development is going and to file/research bug reports.
Hope that is enough to get you started.
