Title: 4 disk sata install issue
Post by: hawthorne on December 11, 2010, 06:09:40 PM

I'm trying to install SME7.5.1 on a server with 4 identical SATA drive. If I install on a single drive, the others being disconnected, everything is fine. If I add in the other 3 disks, they aren't seen. So, I rebooted and tried to reinstall from scratch with all 4 drives powered up.
Formatting starts and then fails with an irrecoverable error and SME demands a reboot. And we go around the same loop again.
Ultimately I want to set up a 4 disk raid-5 array. I've disabled hardware raid support (as it only supports Raid-0 and 1.

Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?
TIA
Stuart

If it doesn't "just work", create a bug report.
