Fwd: IBM x346

["Predrag Gavrilovic" <gavrilovic@gmail.com>]

ServeRaid card is optional, without it you can only use Adaptec
HostRaid "hardware" Raid which is configured trough SCSI bios. Debian
supports SCSI controller, but I am pretty sure (not 100%) that it
doesn't support its raid features.
I was disappointed in it's "hardware" Raid which needs appropriate
driver to recognize mirror instead of two disks. I installed software
raid instead.
Better figure out if you really have IBM ServeRaid card in this server.

all the ibm boxes that we have, shipped with a ServRAID management CD (it's
built on top of linux live CD). the easiest way to configure them seems to be
to use that CD to configure the RAID instead of doing that from the BIOS.

we have a couple of x346 boxes and we configured the raid from the CD and
never had any problems.

btw, you need the 'ips' kernel module.
