Hi all,
Our department's planning to buy a refurbished Dell Poweredge 2850 running
dual-xeons and with a rather big raid array (8x 146GB).
*My* plan is to install CentOS on this machine and I'd like to hear with you
guys if there are any gotchas' doing this.
My main concern is the ability of CentOS to recognise the raid-controller of
the Dell and run a raid5-array as well as drivers for the onboard NICs.
I am running Dell 2950 III and no issue with hardware recognization of
CentOs (5.2 Final)
The one small thing is I can not extend the RAID volume because at the
beginning time we only have 03 HDD now when we buy new HDD we recognize
that RAID controller (PERC 6/i) doesn't support add new HDD to existing
volume :( so only a choice is rebuild it.
HTH,
Any feedback on this is appreciated.
TIA.
