I have a LSILogic MegaRAID SCSI 320-2 on a system here running RedHat 8.0.
I'm new to RAID but seem to have configured it ok to run RAID 5 with one hot
spare disk. I thought I'd test the removal of one disk before letting this
system go live and was quite surprised when the 'beeping' started - I hadn't
realised that there was an audible warning built-in.
Anyway now that I have rebooted (after letting the hot spare kick in) I now am
looking at monitoring and managing the system from within Linux.
I have downloaded the RH118h.tgz from the LSILogic website and after reading
their README it seems that the 320-2 is not supported by megamgr. Is this
correct? If so, how is one supposed to manage the RAID system without
rebooting? Since I can't run 'megamgr', I don't know what I'm missing. Like,
would I be able to stop the audible warning, would I be able to add a new
hot-swap disk while the system is up-and-running?
Any help appreciated.
(By the way when I run megamgr, I have to acknoledge these prompts:
Failed to Know Fw type
Failed NVRAM Configuration
Error Reading Configuration
No Adapters Found)
Thanks in advance,
Ross
