Title: to install sme 7.3 raid/ahci driver
Post by: mgb on February 04, 2008, 04:29:00 PM

My server configuration is based on Intel dg33tl  SATA motherboard with 4gb of RAM and two 250 GB SATA HDDs. Motherboard has integrated RAID controller (Intel(R) Matrix Storage Manager.
*) but I'm not shure how good it is. 

When I done installation with hw raid on and options sme noraid, SME 7.3
i install raid BIOS and  raid  storage
How to check if SME server is properly using hw raid and be sure that consistency check wont find any differences?


i


Also, is stop  install is no find disk to instal sme7.3

SME doesn't know anything about your hw raid... (how should it?)
(if your installation went ok - it does however at least see a single hd ... )

For a hardware raid you  have to: Install / use the control software that mfg does supply
In your case: http://www.intel.com/support/chipsets/iaa_raid/
you are out of luck: http://www.intel.com/support/chipsets/imst/sb/CS-009343.htm

As this appears to be NOT supported, then you should disable the onboard RAID controller, and when you do the sme server install  (again), select the software RAID1 option.

Software RAID1 works very well.

That message is probably occuring as your RAID controller/drives are not detected. Use software RAID1 instead.
