RAID

Since the distributions detailed in this document (Caldera 1.3, Red Hat 5.2, and SuSE 5.3 and 6.0)
do not support installation to a RAID device, Linux must first be installed to a SCSI device and
then moved to the array device. In order to move the operating system from a SCSI device to a
RAID device, both devices must be connected to disk storage simultaneously. In order to do this,
one must have one or more SCSI drives connected to the machines SCSI channel at the same time
that several drives are connected to the SMART Array Controller channel. There are two ways to
do this. Both of these apply only to the ProLiant servers detailed in this Guide.
The first way is to connect either the external SCSI channel or the external RAID channel to an
external ProLiant storage system. That leaves the internal drives available to be connected to
either the internal RAID channel (if the SCSI drives are connected externally) or the internal
SCSI channel (if not).
The second way to accommodate the need for simultaneous connection to the RAID and SCSI
channels is to bolt a non-hot-pluggable drive to one of the internal, non-hot-pluggable drive bays
of the ProLiant 1600 or 1850R. Connect this drive to the internal SCSI channel and connect the
internal hot-plug drive bay to the RAID channel.
Either of the above-mentioned hardware configurations allows for installation to the SCSI device
– which is supported by the Linux distributions covered here – and subsequently allows for
copying the operating system from the SCSI device to the RAID device.
